ATP50 Hypo-crotonylation Caused by HDAC2 Hyper-Phosphorylation Is a Primary Detrimental Factor for Downregulated Phospholipid Metabolism under Chronic Stress

Objective.Chronic stress(CS)-induced abnormal metabolism and other subsequent aspects of abnormality are threatening human health.Little is known regarding whether and how protein post-translational-modifications(PTMs)correlate with abnormal metabolism under CS.The aim of this study was to address this issue and also identify novel key protein PTM.Methods.First,we screened which pan-PTM had significant change between control and CS female mice and whether clinical CS females had similar pan-PTM change.Second,we performed quantitative PTM-omics and metabolomics to verify the correlation between abnormal protein PTMs and atypical metabolism.Third,we performed quantitative phospho-omics to identify the key PTM-regulating enzyme and investigate the interaction between PTM protein and PTM-regulating enzyme.Fourth,we attempted to rectify the abnormal metabolism by correcting the activity of the PTM-regulating enzyme.Finally,we examined whether the selected key protein was also correlated with stress scores and atypical metabolism in clinical women.Results.We initially found that multiple tissues of CS female mice have downregulated pan-crotonylation,and verified that the plasma of clinical CS females also had downregulated pan-crotonylation.Then we determined that ATP5O-K51 crotonylation decreased the most and also caused gross ATP5O decrement,whereas the plasma of CS mice had downregulated phospholipids.Next,downregulating ATP5O crotonylation partially recapitulated the downregulated phospholipid metabolism in CS mice.Next,we verified that HDAC2-S424 phosphorylation determined its decrotonylation activity on ATP5O-K51.Furthermore,correcting HDAC2 hyper-phosphorylation recovered the gross ATP5O level and partially rescued the downregulated phospholipid metabolism in CS mice.Finally,the ATP5O level was also significantly iower and correlated with high stress scores and downregulated phospholipid metabolism in clinical female plasma.Conclusion.This study discovered a novel PTM mechanism involving two distinct types of PTM in CS and provided a novel reference for the clinical precautions and treatments of CS.

Ear Acupuncture Anesthesia for In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer Egg Retrieval

Objective：To observe the anesthesia effect of ear acupuncture for in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer （IVF-ET） egg retrieval.Method：All of 160 IVF-ET cases were allocated into a treatment group （120 cases） and a control group （40 cases）.Ear acupuncture and Pethidine Hydrochloride （Dolantin） were employed respectively to alleviate pain.After that,the anesthesia effects in two groups were compared.Results：There were no significant differences in anesthesia effect and retrieved eggs between the treatment group and the control group （P〉0.05）.Conclusion：Ear acupuncture can obtain similar effects as Pethidine Hydrochloride;however,it is safer and more effective.
