Among them, the physiological functions of gonadotropins are gradually being uncovered. However, the mechanisms by which GnRH regulates FSH synthesis and secretion still need to be more extensively and deeply explored. With the gradual completion of the human genome project, proteomes have become extremely important in the fields of human disease and biological process research. To explore the changes of protein and protein phosphorylation modifications in the adenohypophysis after GnRH stimulation, proteomics and phosphoproteomics analyses of rat adenohypophysis after GnRH treatment were performed by using TMT markers, HPLC classification, LC\/MS, and bioinformatics analysis in this study. A total of 6762 proteins and 15,379 phosphorylation sites contained quantitative information. Twenty-eight upregulated proteins and fifty-three downregulated proteins were obtained in the rat adenohypophysis after GnRH treatment. The 323 upregulated phosphorylation sites and 677 downregulated phosphorylation sites found in the phosphoproteomics implied that a large number of phosphorylation modifications were regulated by GnRH and were involved in FSH synthesis and secretion. These data constitute a protein\u2013protein phosphorylation map in the regulatory mechanism of \u201cGnRH-FSH,\u201d which provides a basis for future studies on the complex molecular mechanisms of FSH synthesis and secretion. The results will be helpful for understanding the role of GnRH in the development and reproduction regulated by the pituitary proteome in mammals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24043339","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,8]],"date-time":"2023-02-08T03:01:45Z","timestamp":1675825305000},"page":"3339","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Integrative Proteomics and Phosphoproteomics Analysis of the Rat Adenohypophysis after GnRH Treatment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Tian","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Animals, College of Animal Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hao-Qi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Animals, College of Animal Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3490-0755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bao","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Animals, College of Animal Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guo-Kun","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Animals, College of Animal Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi-Ran","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Animals, College of Animal Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pei-Sen","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Animals, College of Animal Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen-Yin","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Animals, College of Animal Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3996-2509","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fei","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Animals, College of Animal Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Animals, College of Animal Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen-Zhi","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Animals, College of Animal Sciences, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Wang, H.-Q., Zhang, W.-D., Yuan, B., and Zhang, J.-B.
