  Lysine acetylation is a reversible posttranslational modifcation, an epigenetic phenomenon, referred to as transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl CoA to lysine ε- amino group of targeted protein, which is modulated by acetyltransferases (histone/ lysine (K) acetyltransferases, HATs/KATs) and deacetylases (histone/lysine (K) deacetylases, HDACs/KDACs). Lysine acetylation regulates various metabolic processes, such as fatty acid oxidation, Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, angiogenesis and so on. Thus disorders of lysine acetylation may be correlated with obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which are termed as the metabolic complication. With accumulating studies on proteomic acetylation, lysine acetylation also involves in cell immune status and degenerative diseases, for example, Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington’s disease. This review primarily summarizes the current studies of lysine acetylation in metabolism modulation and in metabolism-related diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and fat metabolism disorder.

Introduction</title><p>Lysine acetylation is a wide posttranslational modification of proteins, extending from the minority in nucleus to the majority in cytoplasm. In a specific cell, not less than 2000 lysine acetylated proteins are present. These acetylated proteins include metabolic enzymes, cytoskeletal proteins, molecular chaperones, ribosomal proteins, nuclear transport factors and so on, which accordingly participate in metabolism, cell signal transduction, stress reaction, protein hydrolysis, cellular apoptosis and growth of neurons, etc. Proteomic analysis on acetylation has showed that most acetylated proteins in cytoplasm and mitochondria are correlated with intermediary metabolism [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref1">1</xref>] . In the process of intermediary metabolism, lysine acetylation regulates metabolic enzymes by at least two mechanisms: 1) regulation of enzyme catalytic activity; 2) effect on the stability of enzyme [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref2">2</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref3">3</xref>] . Metabolic disorders frequently happen in diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, and therefore lysine acetylation may exert certain functions in these diseases’ genesis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref4">4</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref5">5</xref>] . Recent accumulating studies have found that neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington’s syndrome, are also correlated with protein lysine acetylation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref6">6</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref7">7</xref>] . Therefore, regulation of protein lysine acetylation may be an effective strategy for treatment of metabolism-related diseases.</p><p>Lysine acetylation is referred to as transfer of an acetyl group to lysine ε-amino group of targeted protein, modulated by acetyltransferases and deacetylases in common. Deacetylases KDACs already found are divided into four categories: class I includes KDAC1, KDAC2, KDAC3 and KDAC8; class II includes KDAC4~KDAC10 (except KDAC8); class III includes Sirtuins 1 - 7; class IV includes KDAC11. The classes I, II, and IV KDACs share sequence homology (identity, 24% - 65%; similarity, 41% - 82%) on the deacetylase domain, and their activities depend on Zn<sup>2+</sup> ion [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref8">8</xref>] . The class III Sirtuin deacetylases’ activities are NAD<sup>+</sup>-dependent and response to the nutrition status and energy charge in vivo. Different KDACs and Sirtuins may locate in diverse cellular compartments (see <xref ref-type="table" rid="table1">Table 1</xref>), and participate in different gene expression regulation and acetylation modification of various functional proteins. Acetyltransferase HATs/KATs are primarily divided into three groups: 1) GCN5-related N-acetyltrans- ferases (GNAT); 2) E1A-related proteins: P300/KAT3A and CBP (KAT3B); 3) MYST proteins [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref9">9</xref>] . The p300/CBP and GCN5 are the most characteristic acetyltransferase families with the strongest enzymatic activity. Extensively characterized acetyltransferases are predominantly known as nuclear enzymes, although they also function in cytoplasm under some circumstances. Furthermore, acetyltransferases now include nuclear receptor coactivators and others (see <xref ref-type="table" rid="table2">Table 2</xref>). These enzymes and proteins profoundly influence behavior and physiology of organisms, and so extensive studies on protein lysine acetylation are in progress [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref10">10</xref>] - [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref12">12</xref>] . Acetyltransferases and deacetylases determine the acetylated status in vivo by co-modulating acetylation/deacetylation of intracellular proteins, and may play important roles in regulation of intermediary metabolism and the metabolism-related diseases.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

That is to say, lysine acetylation may be a primary regulatory mechanism for metabolism-related diseases, and the enzymes invloved in lysine acetylation/deacetylation may have intimate correlation with metabolism-related diseases.</p><sec id="s3_1"><title>3.1. Protein Lysine Acetylation and Fat Metabolism Disorders</title><p>Dietary obesity (DR) is correlated with type II diabetes and intra-adipose tissue hypoxia and activation of HIF-1α. Recent studies have found that Sirt2 is involved in metabolic diseases by modulation of HIF-1α [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref26">26</xref>] . Importantly, in visceral adipose tissue from human obese subjects, the expression level of Sirt2 is very low while HIF-1α is high. Depletion of HIF-1a in 3T3-L1 adipocytes causes induction of Sirt2 mRNA and protein, which indicates that Sirt2 dysfunction perhaps is the factor of obesity development. Thus, by negatively regulating the Sirt2-HIF-1α regulatory axis may represent an effective preventation method in dietary obesity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref27">27</xref>] .

Many genes related with adipocyte differentiation, such as GLUT4, aP2 and fatty acid synthase genes, are all regulated by Sirt2, and thus regulate adipocyte differentiation.

The regulatory mechanism of Sirt1 and Sirt2 on lipogenesis is displayed in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>.</p><p>Adipose tissue provides the reversible energy reserves for the body in form of fat.

Adipocytes are the active components of adipose tissue, which are indirectly interacted by immune cells, such as macrophages, mononuclear cells, T cells and giant cells. Adipocytes and immune cells secrete different paracrine factors and endocrine factors (collectively referred to as adipocytokines) for normal physiological signal transduction. When excessive energy store as fat, the biological functions of adipocytes change [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref35">35</xref>] . That is to say, adipocytokines are secreted in a pathological state, and will recruit new adipocytes and immune cells to lead to metabolic dysfunction of adipocytes. Through broad-spectrum mass spectrometry and chemical analysis, when the activities of transcription factor C/EBP (CCAAT/enhancer binding protein), PPAR gamma (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) and SREBP (sterol regulatory element-binding protein) were inhibited by KDAC isomer inhibitors in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in mice or in human preadipocytes, lipogenesis was blocked [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref36">36</xref>] . It has been demonstated by further study that the lipogenesis and differentiation of adipocytes depend on different KDAC isomer.

Protein Lysine Acetylation and Cardiovascular Disease</title><p>Myocardial hypertrophy is an adaptive response for heart to maintain its function in condition of continuous load. Studies have shown that the size and function of heart are related with angiogenesis. When the cardiac muscle growth and angiogenesis were disturbed, adaptive myocardial hypertrophy in heart changed into heart disease [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref39">39</xref>] . Sirt1 is known expressed higher in vasculature of blood vessel. However, if Sirt1 was knocked down by siRNA in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, the gene expression related to vascular differentiation reduced, even the start of angiogenesis was supressed [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref40">40</xref>] . Another example was that in endothelial cells of mice lower limbs, the formation of cardiovascular induced by ischemia was inhibited when Sirt1 was silenced. Instead, the genes of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEFG) and its receptor 2 (VEFGR2) and nitric oxide synthase were expressed while resveratrol activated Sirt1 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref41">41</xref>] . According to above experiments, Sirt1 induces angiogenesis probably by inhibiting forkhead box class O family transcription factor (FoxO1), an essential negative regulatory factor in vascular differentiation. Sirt1 interacts with FoxO1 and inactivates FoxO1 by deacetylation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. In addition, another mechanism of angiogenesis may be that angiogenic factor is up-regulated directly, and simutaneously p53 (anti-angiogenesis factors) is inhibited. p53 expression has been studied up-regu- lated during the continuous pressure load on left ventricular, which in turn inhibits the activity of hypoxia inducing factor 1 (HIF-1), a transcription factor for gene expression under anoxic conditions. So inactivation of HIF-1 is easily understood associated with down-regulation of angiogenic factor expression, the reduced myocardial capillary density and the decrease of adaptive myocardial hypertrophy into heart disease. In myocardial cells, Sirt1 deacetylates p53 and subsequently reduce its activity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref39">39</xref>] , but HIF-1/2 induces the expression of Sirt1 protein [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref39">39</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref42">42</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref43">43</xref>] .

Furthermore, exogenous NAD<sup>+</sup> addition to the hearts of mice may keep the levels of intracellular NAD<sup>+</sup> and suppress the myocardial hypertrophy induced by dope [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref46">46</xref>] . As well, in Sirt3 genetically modified mice, the expression of Nampt enzyme was over-expre- ssed in a NAD<sup>+</sup>-dependent manner, and the myocardial infarction caused by myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury was reduced, all which suggested that the myocardial protective effect of NAD<sup>+</sup> is mediated by mitochondrial Sirt3 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref46">46</xref>] . Besides, Sirt3 promotes deacetylation of dehydrogenase LCAD, respiratory chain complex I and cyclophilin D, and stimulates the oxidative metabolism. It is generally believed that many cardiovascular diseases are associated with impaired energy supply, that is to say, the cardiomyocyte ATP and creatine pools in mitochondria have been depleted. It is consistent with study that in Sirt3-deficient mice, myocardial ATP decreased substantially in liver mitochondria and brown adipose tissue accompanied with hyperacetylation of the global mitochondrial proteins [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref47">47</xref>] . These data suggest that cardiovascular disease is caused by Sirt3 dysfunction in pathological state. In conclusion, mitochondrial Sirt3 is a major deacetylase with heart protection, and may play a favorable role in treatment of cardiovascular disease.</p></sec></sec><sec id="s4"><title>4. The Possibility of Targeting Protein Lysine Acetylation</title><p>During lysine acetylation process, proteins with bromodomain structure are recruited, and recently it has been found that proteins with AF9 YEATS domain have links with lysine acetylation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref48">48</xref>] . As a result, catalytic enzymes for lysine acetylation are used as molecular targets of intervention. On the other hand, the proteins interacted with acetylated lysine also may be as potential molecular targets. Anacardic acid and garcinol are two natural products, and they are reported to inhibit acetyltransferase KAT3A/3B and KAT2B at the concentration of 5 - 10 μmol. Later studies have found that garcinol also interfer in KAT5. Curcumin selectively inhibits KAT3A/3B, rather than KAT2B [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref49">49</xref>] . Thiazole ketone, screened through high-throughput experiment, is the inhibitor of acetyltransferase KAT2B and KAT3A/3B [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref50">50</xref>] . Recently it has been developed several KATs inhibitors, such as natural product derivatives, small molecules, bi-substrate inhibitors and so on. These inhibitors may play a part in treatment of diseases ranging from cancer and inflammatory diseases to neurological disorders [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref51">51</xref>] . So these above compounds may have wide applications in clinic as the preferred agents in development of new antitumor drugs or anti-inflammatory drugs. Nevertheless, with the progressing of our knowledge on acetyltransferases KATs, targeting these enzymes may become possible. At the same time, it must be instructive to consider targeting acetyltransferase KATs comprehensively because KATs have various cellular substrates, ranging from histones and transcription factors to enzymes and nuclear receptors. Targeting these enzymes by inhibitors also consider the functions, the enzymatic activities and the substrate specificities.</p><p>In addition, some small molecules influence the transcriptional regulation of cancer cells and other cell processes by inhibition of combination of acetylated lysine in the hydrophobic pocket of Bromodomain [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref52">52</xref>] . Therefore, some small regulatory factors of KDACs have become the potential agents for treatment of cancer, heart disease and diabetes. For example, inhibitors of KDAC I and KDAC II have been designed and applied to the clinic as anticancer agents [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref53">53</xref>] . In our studies, the inhibitor of Sirt1/Sirt2 displays effect on cellular apoptosis in lung cancer. Studies have shown that these inhibitors may have wide functions in treatment of diseases such as inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular disease and so on [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref54">54</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref55">55</xref>] . Furthermore, activators of KDAC class III (Sirtuins) as anti-aging and anti-cancer agents, have potential value for treatment of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic diseases [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.72102-ref56">56</xref>] . It is worth considering that the functions of activators of KDAC class III are similar to the physiological effect of calorie restriction, suggesting KDAC class III (Sirtuins) are involved in energy storage and metabolism. Therefore, the studies of lysine acetylation and the corresponding molecular events after acetylation, may open up new avenues for identification of non- histone targets of KATs or KDACs, and for illustrating the molecular mechanism of lysine acetylation on chromosomal histones, and for improving the effectiveness of related drugs.</p></sec><sec id="s5"><title>5. Conclusion</title><p>As discussed above, protein lysine acetylation plays important roles in metabolism-rela- ted diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and fat metabolism disorders. However, it should be considering that acetylated status is a comprehensive result by acetyltransferases and deacetylases in a specific cell and even in organism, perhaps correlated with other epigenetic modifications, such as methylation, phosphorylation and so on. If we would like to conclude with predicting that lysine acetylation is associated with certain disease, the acetylated status of proteins in vivo should be detected through proteomic survey approaches and high-throughput mass spectrometry-based proteomics. In this way, it may lead us to new candidates for this reversible modification and more new acetylated proteins, and even more new regulatory mechanism for metabolism, which may be benefical to intervention and treatment for diseases related with lysine acetylation.</p></sec><sec id="s6"><title>6. Perspective</title><p>With the accumulating data in proteomics about lysine acetylation modification, more regulatory functions of lysine acetylation will be found, and the biological functions of acetylation might not limit to histones, cytoplasmic proteins and enzymes. Now, a major problem is whether there are links among the concentration of intracellular acetyl CoA, immune status of cells and chromatin, acetylated modes of metabolic enzymes. We hope to establish a model to determine that accumulation of intracellular acetyl CoA is subject to change following the change of cellular metabolism status, and to bypass different metabolic pathways, whether it simutaneously acts as a general control switch for acetylation status, the activities of metabolic enzymes and cellular immune status. By mass spectrometry analysis, inhibitors of KDACs or KATs induce different acetylated modes in different cell lines. So it should be to determine the effect of particular KDAC or KATs isomer on cell acetylation modes via massive protein combination experiments and single knockout experiments of KDAC or KATs isomers, and it should be considered these questions in design and development of new KDAC or KATs inhibitors or activators. According to the functional characteristics of KDAC or KATs inhibitors, drug design targeting specific tissues and organs may be even more beneficial, and reduce the adverse effect of miss target. Beyond that, it is very important to design and develop new, lower toxicity and selective KDAC or KATs regulatory molecules (inhibitors or activators), and they may be contributed in clinic for treatment of metabolism-related diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and so on.</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>This work was supported by the grant from doctoral scientific research fund (No. 318051).</p></sec><sec id="s8"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>Wang, Q.L., Guo, S.J. and Gao, Y.M.
