Comprehensive proteomic profiling of aqueous humor in idiopathic uveitis and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome

ABSTRACT: In this study, 44 AH samples were subjected to a quantitative analysis using SWATH, and 557 proteins were identified in each sample according to a well-established library of 634 proteins. Proteomic profiles in AH of IU and VKH groups were significantly different from normal controls, whereas relatively minor inter-group variation was observed. Differential analysis revealed a shared pattern of extracellular matrix disruption in IU and VKH groups and, more importantly, downregulation of retinal cellular proteins highlighting the value of AH as a medium for ocular disease research. Enrichment analysis showed a typical inflammatory state in the protein composition of AH in IU and VKH groups compared to normal controls, where innate immunity played an important role, as indicated by the activation of the complement cascade and the overexpression of innate immune cell markers. Subsequently, an efficient and robust machine learning algorithm, XGBoost, was used to develop a model for classifying IU, VKH, and normal controls. The top three ranked proteins in the importance list, TF, ENPP2, and FUCA1, were found to represent a promising biomarker panel.

Insights into myopic choroidal neovascularization based on quantitative proteomics analysis of the aqueous humor

Project description:Previous studies on the biomarkers of pathologic myopia choroidal neovascularization (pmCNV) development merely detected limited types of proteins and provide a meagre illustration of the underlying pathways. Hence, an intact picture of molecular changes in the aqueous humor (AH) of pmCNV patients is lacking. Here, to explore the potential mechanisms and biomarkers of pmCNV, we analyzed the correlation between atrophic (A) lesions and neovascular (N) lesions in a myopic cohort based on the ATN grading system for myopic maculopathy (MM). In a quantitative proteomics test of AH profile of our patients, a significant correlation was found between A and N lesions (R = 0.5753, P < 0.0001). Accordingly, groups were divided into patients without MM, patients with myopic atrophic maculopathy (MAM), and patients with pmCNV (N2a lesion). In proteomics analysis, the existence of GFAP and complement-associated molecules in AH samples of the 3 groups also supported that MAM and pmCNV shared similar characteristics. Analyses of the differentially expressed proteins between the pmCNV group and two controls were performed. We identified several potential biomarkers for pmCNV, including FCN3, GFAP, EGFR, SFRP3, PPP2R1A, SLIT2, and CD248. Taken together, our study provides new insights for further research on pmCNV development.

Integrated analysis of transcriptome and proteome of the human cornea and aqueous humor reveal novel biomarkers for corneal endothelial cell dysfunction

Project description:Previous studies have reported that elevated protein levels in the aqueous humor (AH) are associated with corneal endothelial cell dysfunction (CECD), but the detailed underlying mechanism as well as specific biomarkers for CECD remain elusive. In the present study, we aimed to identify protein markers in AH directly associated with changes in Corneal endothelial cells (CECs), as AH can be easily obtained for analysis. We carried out an in-depth proteomic analysis of patient-derived AH as well as transcriptomic analysis of CECs from the same patients with bullous keratopathy (BK) resulting from CECD. We first determined differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) from CECs and AH in CECD, respectively. By combining transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, 13 shared upregulated markers were observed between DEGs and DEPs. Through data integration with individual analysis via data-independent acquisition, three upregulated transcripts and proteins were identified, namely metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 (TIMP1), Fc fragment of IgG binding protein (FCGBP), and angiopoietin-related protein 7 (ANGPTL7). Furthermore, we confirmed AH biomarkers for CECD using individual proteome verification and immunoassay validation. Conclusively, our findings may provide valuable insights into the disease process and identify biofluid markers for the assessment of CEC function during BK development.

Protein profile of purified plasma and aqueous humor-derived extracellular vesicles from patients with ocular toxoplasmosis

Project description:To characterize extracellular vesicles proteins cargo from the aqueous humor and plasma of patients with ocular toxoplasmosis. Methods: Aqueous humor (AH) and plasma were collected from 6 patients with active ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) and 6 cataract patients (CAT). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) were isolated, and western blotting and mass spectrometry were performed for protein analysis. Results: All plasma samples from OT and CAT patients were positive for tetraspanins CD63 and TSG101 markers. However, only the AH from OT patients were positive for CD63. A total of 67 new proteins not previously reported in EVs were found in the AH and plasma from OT and CAT groups. Among these, 10 and 7 proteins were found only in the samples from CAT and OT groups, respectively. In general, these proteins were involved in immune system activation, retina homeostasis, factors related to infections and retina-associated disease. Conclusion: The distinct protein signatures between OT and CAT patients may be helpful in the differential diagnosis of OT. However, more studies are needed to better understand the role of these proteins in the pathogenesis of OT.

Quantitative metabolomic analysis of changes in the lens and aqueous humor under development of age-related nuclear cataract

Project description:INTRODUCTION: Metabolites are essential for the proper functioning of the eye lens, they either enter the lens from the aqueous humor (AH), or are synthesized in the lens epithelium. Antioxidants, osmolytes and UV filters are especially important for the lens protection, and their lack may cause the development of ophthalmic diseases.OBJECTIVES: Comparison of the metabolomic compositions of lenses and AH taken from cataract patients with that taken from human cadavers without cataract can shed light onto molecular mechanisms underlying onset of age-related nuclear cataract.METHODS: Combined use of 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and high performance liquid chromatography with optical and high-resolution mass spectrometric detection for the identification and quantification of metabolites in the lens and AH extracts.RESULTS: The concentrations of 86 metabolites were determined for four groups of samples, including lenses and AH from cataract patients and from human cadavers. In cataractous lens the most abundant metabolites are (in descending order): myo-inositol, lactate, acetate, glutamate, glutathione; in AH-lactate, glucose, glutamine, alanine, valine. The concentrations of the majority of metabolites in normal post-mortem samples of both lens and AH are higher than that in samples from the cataract patients.CONCLUSIONS: Comparison of metabolite concentrations in lens and corresponding AH reveal that the most important for the lens protection metabolites are synthesized in the lens epithelial cells. The reduced levels of antioxidants, UV filters, and osmolytes were found in the cataractous lenses what cannot be explained by post-mortem changes in normal lens; that indicates that the age-related nuclear cataract development may originate from the dysfunction of the lens epithelial cells.

Proteomics of aqueous humor for biomarkers discovery in retinoblastoma

Project description:Background: Recent therapeutic advances have greatly improved the eye preservation rate in patients affected by retinoblastoma (RB), however local tumor control remains more difficult in the presence of resistant and/or relapsing retinal or vitreous disease. Thus, the identification of new biomarkers is crucial to design more effective treatment approaches. Recently, technological advances have allowed to safely recover aqueous humor (AH) from patients affected by RB undergoing local treatment. Methods: in order to identify specific proteins associated to active vitreous seeding, we have performed proteomic analysis of AH samples derived from patients affected by RB in different disease stages. Fifty-five AH samples were firstly included in this study. A new widened cohort was then used to validate the proteins identified in the previous discovery set. Results: a total of 808 and 630 proteins were identified in the two analysis, respectively. Five proteins resulted more expressed in the active vitreous seeding group: C19orf57, Girdin, SRFBP, GULP-1 and DCD. These proteins are involved in cytoskeleton regulation, tumor proliferation and growth, invasion and migration of cancer cells. Conclusion: reliable prognostic biomarkers are needed to guide RB management. Proteomic analysis of AH provide a unique opportunity to identify tumor associated biomarkers in patients with RB.

Quantitative metabolomic analysis of the human cornea and aqueous humor

Project description:INTRODUCTION: Cornea is the outermost part of the eye supplied mostly by aqueous humor (AH). Therefore, the comparison of the metabolomic compositions of AH and cornea may help to determine which compounds are produced inside the cornea, and which penetrate into cornea from AH for intra-corneal consumption. Keratoconus (KC) is the most common form of the cornea dystrophy, and the analysis of KC corneas can unravel the metabolomic changes occurring in AH and cornea of KC patients. OBJECTIVES: The work is aimed at the determination of concentrations of a wide range of metabolites in the human cornea and AH, the comparison of the metabolomic profiles of cornea and AH, and the comparison of the metabolomic compositions of samples taken from KC patients and normal donors (post-mortem). METHODS: The quantitative metabolomic profiling was carried out with the use of two independent methods—high-frequency 1H NMR spectroscopy and HPLC with high-resolution ESI-MS detection. RESULTS: The concentrations of 71 most abundant metabolites in cornea and AH from keratoconus patients and from human cadavers have been measured. It is found that the concentrations of purines and organic acids in cornea are significantly higher than in AH. The KC corneas are characterized by the enhanced levels of acetate and citrate, and also by low values of GSH/GSSG ratios. CONCLUSION: A significant difference in the metabolomic compositions of the human AH and cornea has been revealed. The concentrations of glucose and some amino acids in cornea are significantly lower than in AH, indicating their fast consumption inside the cornea. The high levels of organic acids, purines and GSH in cornea should be attributed to their production in the cornea. The enhanced levels of acetate and citrate as well as the low values of GSH/GSSG ratios in KC corneas are the indicators of the oxidative stress.

Transcriptome and proteome analysis of the human corneal endothelium and aqueous humor reveal endothelial cell dysfunction markers

Project description:Background: The underlying mechanism as well as diagnostic molecular biomarkers for corneal endothelial cell dysfunction (CECD) remain elusive. This study aimed to elucidate molecular mechanism of CECD via proteomic and transcriptomic approaches and identify novel biomarkers in aqueous humor (AH) directly associated with changes in CECs. Methods: We carried out an in-depth proteomic analysis of patient-derived AH as well as transcriptomic analysis of CECs from the same patients with bullous keratopathy (BK) resulting from CECD. Selected candidate proteins were further verified by individual data-independent acquisition and immunoassay using further AH samples from CECD patients. Findings: Using integrated multi-omics analysis, systematic alterations of proteins in AH and mRNA in CECs were mainly associated with the immune mechanism during BK development. Through individual proteomic verification via DIA analysis, three AH proteins were determined as potential predictive markers including TIMP1, FCGBP, and ANGPTL7. Finally, we confirmed these biomarkers using immunoassay in individual AH samples of CECD. Interpretation: Our multi-omics analysis may provide valuable insights into the disease-specific process as well as possibility of biofluid biomarkers in CECD. Further investigation with large scale is required to determine whether AH biomarkers are useful as liquid biopsy targets for the assessment of CEC function
