The underlying epigenetic mechanism was investigated using CUT&amp;Tag. The role of MYST histone acetyltransferase 1 (MOF) as a lactyltransferase was determined through siRNA knockdown, co\u2010immunoprecipitation and fluorescence co\u2010localization assays. Furthermore, ailanthone (AIL), a specific hexokinase 2 (HK2) inhibitor identified through virtual screening, was evaluated for its therapeutic potential in a murine model of sepsis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Key Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lactate enhanced LPS\u2010induced cardiomyocyte inflammation and apoptosis. Mechanistically, lactate upregulated histone H4 lysine 16 lactylation (H4K16la). This modification was enriched at the promoters of the CXCL8 and CCL2 genes to drive their transcriptional activation. We further identified MOF as a novel lactyltransferase directly catalysing H4K16la. In vivo, inhibition of HK2 with AIL attenuated myocardial injury and improved cardiac function in septic mice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion and Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings reveal a pathogenic axis wherein lactate\u2010driven H4K16la, mediated by MOF, promotes inflammatory gene expression in SCM.
