TL;DR

This study investigated the contribution of histone H4 lysine 12 lactylation to abnormal glycolysis and renal fibrogenesis in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and evaluated sodium butyrate (NaB) as a potential therapeutic modulator.

Abstract

The role of histone lactylation in diabetes associated renal fibrosis remains poorly defined. In this study, we investigated the contribution of histone H4 lysine 12 lactylation (H4K12la) to abnormal glycolysis and renal fibrogenesis in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and evaluated sodium butyrate (NaB) as a potential therapeutic modulator.

Metformin Alleviates High Glucose‐Induced Pyroptosis and Inflammatory Responses in HK‐2 Cells via SIRT1‐Associated Regulation of the TXNIP/NLRP3 Pathway

Pyroptosis, a Gasdermin‐dependent inflammatory form of programmed cell death, has been implicated in DKD progression and metformin has shown renoprotective effects in DKD; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Oral Butyrate Reduces Progression of Kidney Damage in an L‐NAME‐Induced Diabetic Kidney Disease Mouse Model

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the main causes of kidney failure worldwide. Interestingly, patients affected by DKD are characterised by a low abundance of gut bacteria producing short fatty acids including butyrate, which is suggested to play a role in the decline of renal function. Consequently, we aimed to...

Inhibition of Acetylation Activity of p300/CBP Ameliorates Hepatic Steatosis Through Downregulation of ACSL4

Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disorder, with few optimal pharmacotherapies. Ongoing studies are providing evidence that histone acetylation contributes to the progression of MASLD. This study investigated the alterations of specific histone acetylat...

Mitochondrial YME1L Restrains GRP75-Dependent ISR Activation to Prevent Podocyte Senescence in Diabetic Kidney Disease.

ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS Loss of YME1L promotes podocyte senescence in diabetic kidney disease. YME1L deficiency induces sustained maladaptive integrated stress response activation. YME1L interacts with and regulates mitochondrial GRP75 homeostasis. GRP75 accumulation drives persistent integrated stress response activation a...
