    Lysine lactylation (Kla) is a novel post-translational modification that utilizes lactate to modify histones and non-histone proteins.

  • 2

    Dysregulation of lactylation is linked to the pathogenesis of gynecological disorders, including cancers, endometriosis, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

  • 3

    Lactylation influences gene transcription, cellular metabolism, and immune microenvironment remodeling, impacting tumor progression and drug resistance.

  • 4

    Therapeutic strategies targeting lactylation include modifying the enzymatic system and metabolic pathways, aiming for precision treatment in gynecological diseases.

  • 5

    This review highlights the need for systematic research on lactylation's role in gynecological diseases and its potential for clinical application.
