Corneal proteome and differentially expressed corneal proteins in highly myopic chicks using a label-free SWATH-MS quantification approach.

ABSTRACT: Myopia, or short-sightedness, is a highly prevalent refractive disorder in which the eye's focal length is too short for its axial dimension in its relaxed state. High myopia is associated with increased risks of blinding ocular complications and abnormal eye shape. In addition to consistent findings on posterior segment anomalies in high myopia (e.g., scleral remodeling), more recent biometric and biomechanical data in myopic humans and animal models also indicate anterior segment anomalies (e.g., corneal biomechanical properties). Because the cornea is the anterior-most ocular tissue, providing essential refractive power and physiological stability, it is important to understand the biochemical signaling pathway during myopia development. This study first aimed to establish the entire chicken corneal proteome. Then, using the classical form deprivation paradigm to induce high myopia in chicks, state-of-the-art bioinformatics technologies were applied to identify eight differentially expressed proteins in the highly myopic cornea. These results provide strong foundation for future corneal research, especially those using chicken as an animal model for myopia development.

Project description:Targeted mass spectrometry by selected reaction monitoring (S/MRM) has proven to be a suitable technique for the consistent and reproducible quantification of proteins across multiple biological samples and a wide dynamic range. This performance profile is an important prerequisite for systems biology and biomedical research. However, the method is limited to the measurements of a few hundred peptides per LC-MS analysis. Recently, we introduced SWATH-MS, a combination of data independent acquisition and targeted data analysis that vastly extends the number of peptides/proteins quantified per sample, while maintaining the favorable performance profile of S/MRM. Here we applied the SWATH-MS technique to quantify changes over time in a large fraction of the proteome expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in response to osmotic stress. We sampled cell cultures in biological triplicates at six time points following the application of osmotic stress and acquired single injection data independent acquisition data sets on a high-resolution 5600 tripleTOF instrument operated in SWATH mode. Proteins were quantified by the targeted extraction and integration of transition signal groups from the SWATH-MS datasets for peptides that are proteotypic for specific yeast proteins. We consistently identified and quantified more than 15,000 peptides and 2500 proteins across the 18 samples. We demonstrate high reproducibility between technical and biological replicates across all time points and protein abundances. In addition, we show that the abundance of hundreds of proteins was significantly regulated upon osmotic shock, and pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the proteins reacting to osmotic shock are mainly involved in the carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. Overall, this study demonstrates the ability of SWATH-MS to efficiently generate reproducible, consistent, and quantitatively accurate measurements of a large fraction of a proteome across multiple samples.
