Pan-Lactylation Antibodies Uncover Novel Mechanisms of Tumor Immune Evasion
1. Core Concept
Lactylation is a newly identified protein post-translational modification (PTM) that uses lactate as a substrate and mainly occurs on lysine residues. It connects cellular metabolism with epigenetic regulation, and plays a critical role in gene transcription, immune response, and tumor immune escape. Pan-lactylation antibodies are universal tools that recognize lactylated lysine residues across various proteins, supporting global lactylation profiling and mechanistic research.
2. Research Frontiers
Since first reported in 2019, lactylation has become a hotspot in oncology, immunometabolism, and epigenetics. Abnormal lactylation is closely associated with the Warburg effect, tumor microenvironment remodeling, and immune checkpoint activation. Pan-lactylation antibodies enable high-throughput, panoramic detection of global lactylation levels, opening new avenues for exploring metabolism–epigenetics–immunity crosstalk.
3. Research Significance
Lactylation directly drives the expression of immune checkpoint molecules such as PD-L1, promoting tumor immune escape. High levels of lactylation often correlate with poor clinical prognosis. Studying lactylation helps reveal novel mechanisms of tumor immune evasion, identify new therapeutic targets, and support the development of next‑generation immunotherapies and metabolic cancer treatments.
4. Key Mechanisms & Methodology
Regulatory Core: Lactylation is controlled by a writer–eraser–reader system including p300/CBP, HDAC/SIRT, and YEATS domain proteins.
Immune Evasion Pathway: High lactate → elevated H3K18la → activated POM121 → enhanced MYC nuclear transport → upregulated CD274 (PD-L1) → suppressed T‑cell function → tumor immune escape.
Detection Methods: Mass spectrometry (site identification), Western blot, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry.
Pan-Lactylation Antibodies: Broad-spectrum recognition of lactylated lysine; used for global profiling, screening, and in situ localization.
