Abstract
Aberrant lysine lactylation (Kla) is associated with various diseases which are caused by excessive glycolysis metabolism. However, the regulatory molecules and downstream protein targets of Kla remain largely unclear. Here, we observed a global Kla abundance profile in colorectal cancer (CRC) that negatively correlates with prognosis. Among lactylated proteins detected in CRC, lactylation of eEF1A2K408 resulted in boosted translation elongation and enhanced protein synthesis which contributed to tumorigenesis. By screening eEF1A2 interacting proteins, we identified that KAT8, a lysine acetyltransferase that acted as a pan-Kla writer, was responsible for installing Kla on many protein substrates involving in diverse biological processes. Deletion of KAT8 inhibited CRC tumor growth, especially in a high-lactic tumor microenvironment. Therefore, the KAT8-eEF1A2 Kla axis is utilized to meet increased translational requirements for oncogenic adaptation. As a lactyltransferase, KAT8 may represent a potential therapeutic target for CRC.

Abstract
As a histone acetyltransferase, lysine acetyltransferase 8 (KAT8) participates in diverse biological processes. However, the effect of KAT8 on oocyte maturation in mice remains unclear. In this study, we found that mouse oocytes overexpressing Kat8-OE induced maturation failure manifested reduced rates of GVBD and first polar body emission. In addition, immunostaining results revealed that Kat8 overexpressing oocytes showed inappropriate mitochondrial distribution patterns, overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), accumulation of phosphorylated γH2AX, hyperacetylation of α-tubulin, and severely disrupted spindle/chromosome organization. Moreover, we revealed that Kat8 overexpression induced a decline in SOD1 proteins and KAT8's interaction with SOD1 in mouse ovaries via immunoprecipitation. Western blotting data confirmed that Kat8-OE induced downregulation of SOD1 expression, which is a key factor for the decline of oocyte quality in advanced maternal age. Also, the injection of Myc-Sod1 cRNA could partially rescue maternal age-induced meiotic defects in oocytes. In conclusion, our data demonstrated that high level of KAT8 inhibited SOD1 activity, which in turn induced defects of mitochondrial dynamics, imbalance of redox homeostasis, and spindle/chromosome disorganization during mouse oocyte maturation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uveal melanoma (UM) is an aggressive intraocular malignant tumor. The present study aimed to identify the key genes associated with UM metastasis and established a gene signature to analyze the relationship between the signature and prognosis and immune cell infiltration. Later, a predictive model combined with clinical variables was developed and validated. METHODS Two UM gene expression profile chip datasets were downloaded from TCGA and GEO databases. Immune-related genes (IRGs) were obtained from IMPORT database. First, these mRNAs were intersected with IRGs, and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify the co-expression of genes primarily associated with metastasis of UM. Univariate Cox regression analysis screened the genes related to prognosis. LASSO-Cox established a risk score to distinguish high-risk group and low-risk group. Then the GSEA enrichment pathway and immune cell infiltration of the two groups were compared. And combined with clinical variables, a predictive model was constructed. The time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) curve were used to verify the stability and accuracy of the final predictive model, and a nomogram was then drawn. RESULTS The MEblack, MEpurple, and MEblue modules were significantly associated with the metastasis of UM patients (P value < 0.001, = 0.001, = 0.022, respectively). Four genes (UBXN2B, OTUD3, KAT8, LAMTOR2) were obtained by Pearson correlation analysis, weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA), univariate Cox, and LASSO-Cox. And a novel prognostic risk score was established. Immune-related prognostic signature can well classify UM patients into high-risk and low-risk groups. Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the OS of high-risk patients was worse than that of low-risk patients. In addition, the risk score played an important role in evaluating the signaling pathway and immune cell infiltration of UM patients in high-risk and low-risk groups. Both the training set and validation set of the model showed good predictive accuracy in the degree of differentiation and calibration (e.g., 1-year overall survival: AUC = 0.930 (0.857-1.003)). Finally, a nomogram was established to serve in clinical practice. SIGNIFICANCE UM key gene signature and prognosis predictive model might provide insights for further investigation of the pathogenesis and development of UM at the molecular level, and provide theoretical basis for determining new prognostic markers of UM and immunotherapy.

Molecular subgroup establishment and signature creation of lncRNAs associated with acetylation in lung adenocarcinoma. Aging (Albany NY) 2024; 16:1276-1297.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The significance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as pivotal mediators of histone acetylation and their influential role in predicting the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has been increasingly recognized. However, there remains uncertainty regarding the potential utility of acetylation-related lncRNAs (ARLs) in prognosticating the overall survival (OS) of LUAD specimens. METHODS The RNA-Seq and clinical information were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Through the differential analysis, weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), Pearson correlation test and univariate Cox regression, we found out the prognosis associated ARLs and divided LUAD specimens into two molecular subclasses. The ARLs were employed to construct a unique signature through the implementation of the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) algorithm. Subsequently, the predictive performance was evaluated using ROC analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis. Finally, ARL expression in LUAD was confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). RESULTS We triumphantly built a ARLs prognostic model with excellent predictive accuracy for LUAD. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis illustrated that risk model served as an independent predictor for influencing the overall survival OS of LUAD. Furthermore, a nomogram exhibited strong prognostic validity. Additionally, variations were observed among subgroups in the field of immunity, biological functions, drug sensitivity and gene mutations within the field. CONCLUSIONS Nine ARLs were identified as promising indicators of personalized prognosis and drug selection for people suffering with LUAD.

Mof plays distinct roles in hepatic lipid metabolism under healthy or non-alcoholic fatty liver conditions. iScience 2023; 26:108446. [PMID: 38034359 PMCID: PMC10687339 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.108446] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The disturbance of hepatic lipid metabolism has a strong association with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and diabetes. Mof, an acetyltransferase involved in obesity and carbon metabolism, has not been thoroughly examined in its connection to hepatic metabolism. We aimed to explore the impact of Mof on hepatic lipid metabolism. The alteration of Mof expression was found in both obese mice and NAFLD human liver. The genes regulated by Mof were closely associated with lipid metabolism. In normal mice or hepatic cells, the down-regulation or inhibition of Mof resulted in increased lipid accumulation due to decreased PPARα expression. Conversely, in diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice or hepatic cells treated with palmitic acid, the inhibition of Mof led to improved lipid metabolism, attributed to the reduction in p-mTOR/mTOR levels. In summary, Mof exhibited distinct roles in lipid metabolism under different conditions. The inhibition of Mof may hold potential as a therapeutic target for hepatic lipid metabolism disturbances.
