A CTCF-LDHB axis converts nuclear lactate availability into an H3K18 acylation switch that directs alternative splicing in hypoxic breast cancer

Lactate accumulating in hypoxic tumours lactylates histones, coupling metabolic state to chromatin. Why it differs between tumours of comparable glycolytic rate has remained unresolved. Here we show that nuclear, rather than total intracellular, lactate availability determines hi...
