Core Tip Post translational modifications (PTMs) constitute a dynamic regulatory network that critically shapes cellular senescence and the immunosuppressive microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma. Key metabolism-linked PTMs such as O-GlcNAcylation and histone lactylation couple glycolytic reprogramming with epigenetic remodeling, driving therapy resistance and immune evasion. Emerging single-cell and spatial multi-omics reveal spatially organized senescence-immune-metabolic niches, providing a basis for multidimensional stratification. This review proposes a sequential “induce-remodel-clear” therapeutic framework, integrating precise senescence induction, PTM-targeted modulation, and enhanced immune clearance to overcome resistance and advance precision hepatocellular carcinoma therapy.
