The proteome of human iris - Defining the proteome of human iris, ciliary body, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid

ABSTRACT: The iris is a fine structure that controls the amount of light that enters the eye. Iris diseases that result in visual disability and blindness include iritis, primary angle closure glaucoma, and pigment dispersion syndrome. A detailed investigation of the proteome of the normal human iris may provide a foundation for new investigations into the iris biology and pathophysiology. We conducted an in-depth proteomic analysis of five normal irides. Proteins were fractionated using SDS-PAGE. After in-gel digestion, peptides were analyzed using LC-MS/MS on an Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer. We identified 3,000 non-redundant proteins in the human iris, including 26 unambiguous protein isoforms. The proteins identified in the iris included numerous proteins involved in smooth muscle motility, melanosome development, extracellular matrix, and selenoproteins involved in redox signaling. The MS proteome database of the human iris may serve as a valuable resource for future investigations of the eye in health and disease.

The iris is a fine structure that controls the amount of light that enters the eye. The ciliary body controls the shape of the lens and produces aqueous humor. The retinal pigment epithelium and choroid (RPE/choroid) are essential in supporting the retina and absorbing light energy that enters the eye. Proteins were extracted from iris, ciliary body, and RPE/choroid tissues of eyes from five individuals and fractionated using SDS-PAGE. After in-gel digestion, peptides were analyzed using LC-MS/M ...[more]

Project description:Ocular pigment epithelium (PE) cells promote the generation of T regulators (PE-induced Treg cells). Moreover, T cells exposed to PE acquire the capacity to suppress the activation of bystander T cells via TGFbeta. Membrane-bound TGFbeta on iris PE cells interacts with TGFbeta receptors on T cells, leading to the conversion of T cells to CD8(+) Treg cells via a cell contact-dependent mechanism. Conversely, soluble forms of TGFbeta produced by retinal PE cells can convert CD4(+) T cells into Treg cells in a manner that is independent of cell contact. In this study, we looked at the expression of immunoregulatory factors (TGFbeta, thrombospondins, CD59, IL-1 receptor antagonist, etc.) in PE cells as identified via an oligonucleotide microarray. Several thrombospondin-binding molecules were detected, and thus we focused subsequent analyses on thrombospondins. Via the conversion of latent TGFbeta to an active form that appears to be mediated by thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1), cultured iris PE and retinal PE cells induce a PE-induced Treg cell fate. After conversion, both ocular PE and PE-induced Treg cells express TSP-1. Regulatory T cell generation was amplified when the T cells also expressed TSP-1. In addition, PE-induced Treg cells significantly suppressed activation of bystander T cells via TSP-1. These results strongly suggest that the ability of ocular PE and PE-induced Treg cells to suppress bystander T cells depends on their capacity to produce TSP-1. Thus, intraocular TSP-1 produced by both ocular parenchymal cells and regulatory T cells is essential for immune regulation in the eye. Experiment Overall Design: Comparison of gene expression pattern in Mouse Primary Cultured Cell Lines (RPE, IPE, CBPE). Experiment Overall Design: Adult (6- to 8-week-old) C57BL/6 purchased from CLEA Japan Inc. (Tokyo, Japan) were used as donors ocular pigment epithelium (PE). To cultivate iris PE (IPE) and ciliary body PE (CBPE), iris and ciliary body tissues in the eyes were dissected out, and then incubated in 1 mg/ml Dispase and 0.05 mg/ml DNase I (both from Boehringer-Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany) for 1 hr. To cultivate retinal PE (RPE) Eyes were cut into two parts along a circumferential line posterior to the ciliary process, creating a ciliary body-deficient posterior eyecup. The eyecup was then incubated in 0.2% trypsin (Biowhitaker) for 1 hr. These tissues were triturated to make a single cell suspension, and then re-suspended in the medium.
