HCC is a highly glycolytic malignancy characterized by excessive lactate accumulation in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Emerging evidences show that histone lactylation plays a critical role in various biological processes, but its function in receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance remains obscure. This study was designed to elucidate the role of histone lactylation in receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance in HCC. Clinical cohort analyses revealed that the increased nuclear pan-lysine lactylation (pan-Kla) predicts poor patient prognosis and high H4K12la level correlates with targeted drug resistance. Furthermore, lactate bidirectionally controls H4K12la through the opposing enzymatic activities of AARS1 (writer) and HDAC11 (eraser). Integrative CUT&Tag and ATAC-seq analyses demonstrated that H4K12la directly activates the promoter of RAPGEF3, a predominant upstream regulator of the RAP1 signaling pathway. Inhibition of RAPGEF3 reversed the lactate-induced targeted drug resistance both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting H4K12 lactylation modulates targeted drug resistance by activating RAPGEF3-RAP1 signaling. Notably, combining the RAPGEF3 inhibitor ESI-09 with lenvatinib synergistically suppressed HCC growth in mouse models. Clinico-pathological analyses revealed that elevated expression of the AARS1/H4K12la/RAPGEF3 axis correlated with inferior survival and sorafenib resistance in HCC patients, which was further confirmed in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. This study delineates a novel metabolic-epigenetic mechanism whereby lactate modulates hepatocellular carcinoma sensitivity to targeted therapies through histone lactylation and suggests AARS1-H4K12la-RAPGEF3 axis may serve as an interventional target to overcome targeted drug resistance, offering a promising strategy to enhance clinical outcomes in HCC patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":9734,"journal":{"name":"Cell Death & Disease","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13672797/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148547920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transfer RNA-derived fragments (tRFs), a novel class of small non-coding RNA by cleavage of tRNAs, have recently attracted attention due to their functional significance in diverse biological processes. However, the role of tRFs in TIF is largely elusive. In the present study, we found that a tRF, tRF‑1:30‑Gln‑CTG‑4, was markedly decreased in proximal renal tubules and highly correlated with TIF in DKD mice. The overexpression of tRF‑1:30‑Gln‑CTG‑4 revealed a therapeutic effect against TIF. Further, RNA pull-down and RNA-immunoprecipitation assay were performed to identify that FBXO7, an adaptor protein in the SCF E3 ligase complex, was the targeted protein of tRF‑1:30‑Gln‑CTG‑4. Mass spectrometry and co-immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that PINK1, a master mitophagy-regulating protein, acted as the substrate of FBXO7 in tubular epithelial cells. Mechanistically, elevated FBXO7 promoted mitophagy defect through mediating PINK1 ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation. The overexpression of tRF‑1:30‑Gln‑CTG‑4 alleviated defective mitophagy. Taken together, this study not only represents a novel insight into the pathogenesis of TIF but also provides a promising therapeutic targeting for the delaying the progression of DKD.</p>","PeriodicalId":9734,"journal":{"name":"Cell Death & Disease","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13661522/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148497219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
