Core Tip Lactate-induced histone H3K18 lactylation drives colorectal cancer progression by activating METTL5 transcription. METTL5 stabilizes CCT2 mRNA via m6A modification, upregulating CCT2 expression and inhibiting pyroptosis. This H3K18 lactylation-METTL5-CCT2 signaling axis links metabolic reprogramming, epigenetics, and RNA methylation to suppress cell death and promote malignancy. Targeting this pathway with the PI3Kβ inhibitor AZD6482 increases oxaliplatin cytotoxicity in high-lactate microenvironments, offering a novel therapeutic strategy for colorectal cancer.
