Widespread Involvement of Acetylation in the Retinal Metabolism of Form-Deprivation Myopia in Guinea Pigs

Myopia has become the major cause of visual impairment worldwide. Although the pathogenesis of myopia remains controversial, proteomics studies suggest that dysregulation of retinal metabolism is potentially involved in the pathology of myopia. Lysine acetylation of proteins plays a key role in regulating cellular metabolism, but little is known about its role in the form-deprived myopic retina. In this study, we performed acetylation proteomic analysis of the retinas of form-deprived myopic guinea pigs and found downregulated levels of acetylation of metabolism-critical enzymes in the retina. As the first report on retinal acetylation in myopic eyes, this study provides a reliable basis for further studies on retinal acetylation in myopic eyes
