          Abstract

          Cardiovascular diseases pose a major threat worldwide. Common cardiovascular diseases include acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure, atrial fibrillation (AF) and atherosclerosis. Glycolysis process often has changed during these cardiovascular diseases. Lactate, the end-product of glycolysis, has been overlooked in the past but has gradually been identified to play major biological functions in recent years. Similarly, the role of lactate in cardiovascular disease is gradually being recognized. Targeting lactate production, regulating lactate transport, and modulating circulating lactate levels may serve as potential strategies for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases in the future. The purpose of this review is to integrate relevant clinical and basic research on the role of lactate in the pathophysiological process of cardiovascular disease in recent years to clarify the important role of lactate in cardiovascular disease and to guide further studies exploring the role of lactate in cardiovascular and other diseases.

          Metabolic regulation of gene expression by histone lactylation

          The Warburg effect, originally describing augmented lactogenesis in cancer, is associated with diverse cellular processes such as angiogenesis, hypoxia, macrophage polarization, and T-cell activation. This phenomenon is intimately linked with multiple diseases including neoplasia, sepsis, and autoimmune diseases 1,2 . Lactate, a compound generated during Warburg effect, is widely known as an energy source and metabolic byproduct. However, its non-metabolic functions in physiology and disease remain unknown. Here we report lactate-derived histone lysine lactylation as a new epigenetic modification and demonstrate that histone lactylation directly stimulates gene transcription from chromatin. In total, we identify 28 lactylation sites on core histones in human and mouse cells. Hypoxia and bacterial challenges induce production of lactate through glycolysis that in turn serves as precursor for stimulating histone lactylation. Using bacterially exposed M1 macrophages as a model system, we demonstrate that histone lactylation has different temporal dynamics from acetylation. In the late phase of M1 macrophage polarization, elevated histone lactylation induces homeostatic genes involved in wound healing including arginase 1. Collectively, our results suggest the presence of an endogenous “lactate clock” in bacterially challenged M1 macrophages that turns on gene expression to promote homeostasis. Histone lactylation thus represents a new avenue for understanding the functions of lactate and its role in diverse pathophysiological conditions, including infection and cancer.

            Beyond aerobic glycolysis: transformed cells can engage in glutamine metabolism that exceeds the requirement for protein and nucleotide synthesis.

            Tumor cell proliferation requires rapid synthesis of macromolecules including lipids, proteins, and nucleotides. Many tumor cells exhibit rapid glucose consumption, with most of the glucose-derived carbon being secreted as lactate despite abundant oxygen availability (the Warburg effect). Here, we used 13C NMR spectroscopy to examine the metabolism of glioblastoma cells exhibiting aerobic glycolysis. In these cells, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle was active but was characterized by an efflux of substrates for use in biosynthetic pathways, particularly fatty acid synthesis. The success of this synthetic activity depends on activation of pathways to generate reductive power (NADPH) and to restore oxaloacetate for continued TCA cycle function (anaplerosis). Surprisingly, both these needs were met by a high rate of glutamine metabolism. First, conversion of glutamine to lactate (glutaminolysis) was rapid enough to produce sufficient NADPH to support fatty acid synthesis. Second, despite substantial mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism, pyruvate carboxylation was suppressed, and anaplerotic oxaloacetate was derived from glutamine. Glutamine catabolism was accompanied by secretion of alanine and ammonia, such that most of the amino groups from glutamine were lost from the cell rather than incorporated into other molecules. These data demonstrate that transformed cells exhibit a high rate of glutamine consumption that cannot be explained by the nitrogen demand imposed by nucleotide synthesis or maintenance of nonessential amino acid pools. Rather, glutamine metabolism provides a carbon source that facilitates the cell's ability to use glucose-derived carbon and TCA cycle intermediates as biosynthetic precursors.

              Macrophages in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

              In atherosclerosis, the accumulation of apolipoprotein B-lipoproteins in the matrix beneath the endothelial cell layer of blood vessels leads to the recruitment of monocytes, the cells of the immune system that give rise to macrophages and dendritic cells. Macrophages derived from these recruited monocytes participate in a maladaptive, nonresolving inflammatory response that expands the subendothelial layer due to the accumulation of cells, lipid, and matrix. Some lesions subsequently form a necrotic core, triggering acute thrombotic vascular disease, including myocardial infarction, stroke, and sudden cardiac death. This Review discusses the central roles of macrophages in each of these stages of disease pathogenesis. Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
