Global-scale profiling of differential expressed lysine-lactylated proteins in the cerebral endothelium of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury rats
Open accessAbstract
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a serious threat to human health. Following AIS, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) must be treated to improve prognosis. By combining 4D label-free quantitative proteomics with lactylation modification-specific proteomics analysis, we assessed lysine lactylation (Kla) in cortical proteins of a CIRI rat model. We identified a total of 1003 lactylation sites on 469 proteins in this study, gathering quantitative information (PXD034232) on 660 of 310 proteins, which were further classified by cell composition, molecular function, and biological processes. In addition, we analyzed the metabolic pathways, domains, and protein-protein interaction networks. Lastly, we evaluated differentially expressed lysine lactylation sites, determining 49 upregulated proteins and 99 downregulated proteins with 54 upregulated sites and 54 downregulated sites in the experimental group in comparison with the healthy control group. Moreover, we identified the Kla of Scl25a4 and Slc25a5 in the Ca 2+ signaling pathway, but the Kla of Vdac1 was eliminated, as confirmed in vivo. Overall, these results provide new insights into lactylation involved in the underlying mechanism of CIRI because this post-translational modification affects the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and mediates neuronal death. Therefore, this study may enable us to develop new molecules with therapeutic properties, which have both theoretical significance and broad clinical application prospects. A new model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) induced by lactylation through the regulation of key proteins of the Ca 2+ signaling pathway.

Lactate-associated lactylation modulates glial inflammatory states and neuronal synaptic function, supporting its role in neuroplasticity.
“Recent findings indicate that lactate-associated lactylation modulates glial inflammatory states and neuronal synaptic function, supporting its role in neuroplasticity (Yao et al., 2023; Hagihara et al., 2021).”
From Histone modifications and depression: epigenetic mechanisms, therapeutic targets, and translational outlook (2026) · cites this paper as Yao et al., 2023
The Discussion (page unavailable) links lactate to neuronal excitability and plasticity, and proposes that lactylation of neuronal proteins may affect apoptosis after ischemia–reperfusion. It does not show that lactylation modulates neuronal synaptic function or glial inflammatory states; its discussion of astrocytes concerns lactate production, not inflammation. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
