Lactate Drives Epigenetic Reprogramming and Activation of Hepatic Stellate Cells via Altering Chromatin Accessibility

Listed in NCBI GEO

Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is a central driver of liver fibrosis, and the metabolite lactate has emerged as a potential signaling molecule beyond its role in metabolism.

Description

To investigate whether it influences HSC activation through epigenetic mechanisms, we treated human primary HSCs with L-lactate and utilized Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) to map genome-wide changes in chromatin accessibility, complemented by assays for gene expression to correlate these changes with the pro-fibrotic activation phenotype.
