Mitochondrial regulation of lactylation in sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy

Crit CarePublished Narrative review

Study context

Population
Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM)
Methodological detailsSynthesises evidence on mitochondrial regulation of lactylation in SICM, molecular pathways and potential therapeutic interventions, integrating preclinical and clinical studies
  • Synthesises evidence on mitochondrial regulation of lactylation in SICM, molecular pathways and potential therapeutic interventions, integrating preclinical and clinical studies

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Mitochondrial dysfunction (metabolic reprogramming, oxidative stress, calcium dysregulation) is a central feature and putative driver of SICM
  • Lactylation, a lactate-derived posttranslational modification, identified as a key mechanism amplifying inflammatory and metabolic dysfunction
