CrotonylationMiceTMP1 K28/29cr; IDH3α K199crTMP1 K28/29 and IDH3α K199cr are decreased in a model of cardiac dysfunction induced by ischemia-reperfusion[53]
CrotonylationHuman; miceH3K18cr, H2BK12crH3K18cr and H2BK12cr are elevated in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy[54]
CrotonylationMiceNAE1 K238crNAE1 K238cr increases in the cardiac hypertrophy model[55]
CrotonylationMiceSERCA2a K120crSERCA2a K120cr is significantly elevated in SIRT1 knockout mice, which impairs SERCA2a activity and leads to alterations in energy metabolism that precipitate cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction[56]
LactylationMiceα-MHC K1897 Laα-MHC K1897 La reduction in heart failure weakens its interaction with titin, ultimately resulting in severe HF[48]
LactylationMiceH3K18 LaThe elevation of H3K18 La is associated with pathological myocardial hypertrophy and cardiac dysfunction[59]
LactylationMiceH3K56 LaH3K56 La is reduced in the Mi/R model, and the inhibition of H3K56 La negated the cardioprotective effects of HSPA12A[60]
LactylationMiceH3K18 LaExercise training enhances cardiac function by inhibiting YTHDF2, which reduces H3K18 lactylation and mitigates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury[61]
LactylationMiceSnail1The lactylation of Snail1 was elevated following myocardial infarction, which contributed to myocardial fibrosis and worsened cardiac dysfunction[62]
SuccinylationMiceECHA K351succSIRT5 mediates the desuccinylation of ECHA K351, thereby improving cardiac metabolism and function and reducing myocardial hypertrophy[71]
SuccinylationMiceIDH2The inhibition of SIRT5 expression results in increased succinylation of IDH2, which disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis and contributes to myocardial fibrosis and HF[72]
SuccinylationHuman; miceCPT2 K424succSIRT5 mediates the desuccinylation of CPT2 K424 in diabetic cardiomyopathy, thereby ameliorating lipid deposition, myocardial hypertrophy, and diastolic dysfunction[73]
SuccinylationMiceTxnrd1 K534succTxnrd1 K534succ increase in mice with a knockout of LDHA, leading to severe cardiac dysfunction in a pressure overload mouse model[74]
β-hydroxybutyr-ylationMiceCS K395bhbβ-hydroxybutyrate mitigates heart failure with preserved ejection fraction by activating CS through the enhancement of CS K395bhb[82]
PropionylationMiceH3K23prH3K23pr increase in cardiac hypertrophy and HF[86]
ButyrylationMiceH3K9buH3K9bu is diminished due to the downregulation of β-oxidase in the heart following TAC surgery[90]
MalonylationRatVDAC2 K46malVDAC2 K46mal was elevated in mice with sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction[97]
MalonylationMiceGSTP1 K121malThe abnormal decrease of SIRT5 increase of GSTP1 K121mal in DCM leads to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction[98]
MalonylationMiceAgo2 K440malThe increase of AGO2 K440mal enhances the production of ROS in mitochondria, subsequently impairing cardiac function in DCM[99]
2-hydroxyisobu-tyrylationMiceDLD K440hibDLD K440hib increase in the TAC-induced cardiac hypertrophy model[105]
