Table 1 Summary of classical lysine acetylation in pathological cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure
| Typical lysine acylation | Models | Sites | Specific functions | Refs. |
| Acetylation | Mice | H3K4ac, H3K9ac, H3K27ac | H3K4ac, H3K9ac, and H3K27ac mediated by p300 are increased in cardiac hypertrophy and HF | [24,25] |
| Acetylation | Mice | H3K27ac | H3K27ac mediated by p300 exacerbates cardiac dysfunction | [26] |
| Acetylation | Mice | H3K9ac; H3K23ac | H3K23ac and H3K9ac are elevated in hearts of mice with diabetic cardiomyopathy | [27] |
| Acetylation | Mice | K3K14ac | H3K14ac is increased in mice induced by prenatal alcohol exposure, which contributed to abnormal fetal heart development | [28] |
| Acetylation | Rats | H3K122ac | H3K122ac is increased during the stages of HF | [29] |
| Acetylation | Mice, human | SERCA2a K492ac | Increased SERCA2a K492ac is associated with systolic dysfunction in HF | [30] |
| Acetylation | Mice | TFAM (K62ac, K76ac, K111ac, K118ac) | Acetylation of TFAM 4KR is diminished in response to low expression of GCN 5 L 1 in HF, which results in a reduction in mitochondrial DNA abundance and impaired cardiac energetics | [31] |
| Acetylation | Mice | P53 4KR (k98ac, K117ac, K161ac, K162ac) | Increased P53 4KR acetylation leads to coronary capillary sparsity, cardiac remodeling, and cardiac dysfunction | [32] |
| Acetylation | Mice | P53 K381ac | Lipopolysaccharide increases p53 K381ac and promotes the nuclear translocation of p53, contributing to cardiac dysfunction | [33] |
| Acetylation | Mice | Drp1 K642ac | High-fat diet leads to DRP1 K642ac increase, which activates DRP1 and results in cardiomyocyte dysfunction and death | [34] |
| Acetylation | Mice | SF3A2 K10ac | Ginsenoside Rb2 directly interacts with P300 to reduce SF3A2 K10ac, enhance mitochondrial respiration, and mitigate cardiac dysfunction | [35] |
