Proteomics approach as a research tool has gained popularity in a growing number of basic and clinical researches. However, proteomic research has yet to gain significant momentum in eye research. Hence, we decided to build a retinal proteome database using postnatal retinal tissue from chick, a commonly used animal model in eye research. Employing 2-D gels with the coverage of 3-10 pH gradients, we were able to resolve hundreds of proteins from young chick retinae. Among them, 155 high abundant proteins were identified by Peptide Mass Fingerprinting (PMF) after the Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). These proteins were then classified according to their functions. Making use of the retinal database, we were able to identify several differentially expressed proteins that might be involved in early retinal development by comparing the 2-DE maps of chick retinal tissues (3, 10, and 20 days after hatching). With the current proteomics approach, we not only documented the most abundant soluble proteins in the chick retinal tissue, but also demonstrated the dynamic protein expression changes during early ocular development. This represents one of the first steps in building a complete protein database in chick retinae which is applicable to the study of eye diseases from a few selected protein candidates to the whole proteome. Proteomic technology may provide a high throughput platform for advancing eye research in the feasible future.

1. Introduction Proteomics leads to a fundamental paradigm shift in research in the post-genomic era. The advances in the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) coupled with the mass spectrometry (MS) technology have been the driving force which revolutionizes the study of proteins into a high-throughput and accurate endeavor. The ability to profile many proteins has allowed global changes in protein expression to be studied at one setting. 2-DE/MS technology has been widely applied in * Authors for correspondence.

identifying novel markers and complex protein pathways to develop new molecular-based therapies, for example, the search for novel targets for cancer therapy,1-4 Alzheimer’s disease study,5,6 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome disease (SARS) study,7 and so on. However, its application on eye research is yet to be popularized. The retina is part of the central nervous system (CNS), and it is a complex and important component of the vertebrate’s visual system. The retina in most vertebrates is composed of three layers of nerve cell bodies and two layers of synapses. It is a visible neural extension of the brain which consists of a complex neural network and different cellular microcircuits (information on the basic anatomy of the eye can be obtained from, for example, http://thalamus.wustl.edu/course/ eyeret.html). The retina has long been one of the classic models for embryological and neuronal researches. Topics such as the organizations and the signaling pathways involving precise interconnections through photoreceptors, bipolar to ganglion cells and laterally between amacrine and horizontal cells, have been the prime interest of many vision researchers.

research articles to its importance for vision, the retina was found to be involved in the control of eye growth in many animal species, including chick (Gallus gallus). Chick has long been one of the classical models for the studies of many biological systems,8-10 and its role in the studies of visual functions such as in myopia research11-14 is becoming more prominent. Interestingly, matching between the retina and the image plane (or emmetropization) during postnatal development is found to be fairly independent of signals from the higher order, that is, the brain. Therefore, it is believed that postnatal eye growth is regulated by retinal local processing of visual information. In fact, there is growing evidence to support a major role for the retina in modulating eye growth, although a credible theory on the exact mechanism remains elusive. Retinal development is known as a multiple step process which involves a dramatic increase of complexity and differentiation of many cell types. These events are mostly regulated at the transcriptional level. Studies focusing on the regulatory mechanisms within the retina have been the subject of intense investigation for more than a decade. There was an early report on cultured embryonic chick retina by the 2-DE approach.15 However, only one protein (glutamine synthetase) was studied due to the technological limitations in the gel-based protein separation plus a lack of MS-based protein identification. Today, information on the post-hatching avian retinal growth at the protein level is still very limited. Therefore, we propose to study the retinal growth with a proteomic approach. The present work aims to build the first proteome database for the chick retina. This information may provide a platform for studying or comparing the differential protein expression in the normal ocular growth in chicks and other animal species.

2. Materials and Methods 2.1. Animal and Tissue Preparations. The care and use of the animals in these experiments were in accordance with the ARVO resolution on the Use of Animals in Research and in compliance with university guidelines set forth by the Animal Subjects Research Ethnic Subcommittee (ASEC). Newly hatched white leghorn chicks were kept in temperature-controlled brooders on a 12/12 h light/dark cycle and fed food and water ad libitum. Refractive error changes after hatching and before dissection were measured using a streak retinoscope. The resultant equivalent sphere (S.E. ) spherical power + 1/2 cylindrical power) was calculated based on the two powers along the vertical and horizontal meridians. Chicks were sacrificed by a CO2 overdose, and the eyes were enucleated promptly within 5 min. After removing the extraocular tissues, the eyes were hemisected near to the equator. The anterior segment and vitreous were discarded. The retinal layer was carefully peeled off from the posterior hemisphere, and visible retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells attached were either isolated from the retinal tissue or blotted away using Kimwipes (Kimberly Clark Corp.). Tissues were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and then stored at -80 °C before further analysis. No sample was stored for more than 12 months. Unless otherwise stated, chemicals of the highest purity available were used. Reagents for 2-DE and silver staining were purchased either from Bio-Rad or Amersham Biosciences (China). Chemicals used for MALDI-TOF MS were either from Sigma-Aldrich or Bruker Daltonics (Germany). A frozen retinal sample was homogenized in a liquid nitrogen-cooled Teflon freezer mill (Mikrodismembrator; Braun Biotech, Germany) with 300-500 µL of lysis buffer containing 772

7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 40 mM Tris, 0.2% (w/v) Biolyte, 1% (w/v) DTT, 2% (w/v) CHAPS, 1% (v/v) ASB14 (Calbiochem) and 1% (v/v) Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (cat. no. P8340, SigmaAldrich) for a total of 5 min at the highest speed. The sample was collected, vortexed briefly, and then centrifuged at 16.1 × 1000 G force for 20 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was collected, and the pellet was discarded. To perform reagent compatible protein quantification, the amount of soluble protein recovered was measured by a 2-D Quant Kit (Amersham Biosciences, China) 2.2. 2-D Gel Electrophoresis. 2.2.1. Development of Chick Retinal Proteome Database. For a quicker process of proteome database development, a robotic platform was first employed to investigate the most abundant protein spots on a colloidal coomassie blue-stained 2-D gel. As the protein recovery for MALDI-TOF MS using the robotic system is not as good as the manual processing due to intrinsic limitations of the system, a number of silver-stained 2-D gels were later prepared for manual in-gel tryptic digestion on those spots which failed to be identified in the robotic PMF run. As refractive errors in chicks were relatively stabilized and the hyperopic variability was largely reduced 1 week after hatching, 7-day-old chicks were selected for building the 2-D retinal proteome database. Soluble retinal proteins extracted from the young chicks (50 or 300 µg) were added to 300 µL of rehydration buffer containing 7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 0.2% (w/v) Biolyte, 1% (w/v) DTT, 2% (w/v) CHAPS, and 1% (v/v) ASB14 with a trace amount of bromophenol blue. Isoelectric focusing (IEF) was performed using linear IPG strips (17 cm long) with pH gradients of 3-6, 5-8, and 3-10. They were actively rehydrated at 50 V in PROTEAN IEF Cell (Bio-Rad) under constant temperature (20 °C) for 16 h to enhance protein uptake. Subsequently, the protein samples were focused for a total of 42 000 V/h using a linear voltage ramp: 100 V for 2 h, 500 V for 1 h, 100 V for 1 h, 4000 V for 2 h, and finally 8000 V for 6 h. Following IEF, the IPG strips were incubated in the equilibration buffer (6 M urea, 30% glycerol, 50 mM Tris, and 2% SDS) containing 2% DTT for 15 min and then 2.5% iodoacetamide for an additional 15 min. The focused IPG strips were rinsed briefly with Milli-Q H2O and sealed with 0.5% agarose on the top of a 1 mm thick, 25 cm × 20 cm SDS-PAGE gel. Separation of the proteins in the second dimension was achieved by using 12% continuous gels in the Dodeca tank (BioRad) and running at a constant 200 V until completion. 2.2.2. Investigation on Retinal Protein Expressions during Ocular Development. For comparative age-matched animals being used in our myopia study, normal chicks with similar body weight in each well-separated time point of 3-day old (PN3), 10-day old (PN10), and 20-day old (PN20) after hatching were used to study the differential protein expression involving eye development. It was also reported that the eye growth during this experimental period was almost linear.16 The retinal proteins were extracted as described before. Equal portions of protein from each chick (20 µg each) were pooled (total ) 20 µg × 3 ) 60 µg) for each of the 3 time points. 2-DE separations were carried out as described previously using 17 cm IPG strips of pI ranges from pH 3-10. Furthermore, to better visualize protein spots, we repeated the differential protein expression study on the PN3 and PN20 samples using narrow 11 cm IPG strips of pH 5-8. A total of 36 000 V/h was used in the shorter IPG strips. To minimize experimental variations, all samples to be compared were processed and run in the 2-DE systems

at the same time (17 cm IPGs were run together in parallel, while paired 11 cm IPGs were run side by side on a single gel). 2.3. Protein Visualization and Image Analysis. Proteins profiles in differential expression study were routinely visualized with silver stain performed according to the MS compatible silver staining method,17 except that overnight methanol and acetic acid fixation were adopted and sodium acetate was omitted in our protocol according to our previous optimization result. When colloidal coomassie blue stain was used for the robotic protein identification test, 2-D gels were soaked in 0.0025% (w/v) hot (∼90 °C) R350 (cat. no. 17-0518-01, Amersham Biosciences, China) solution in 10% acetic acid for 10 min and then destained with 10% acetic acid overnight. Stained gels were scanned as uncompressed “TIFF” images at 300 dpi (pixels per inch) resolutions with a flatbed scanner “ScanMaker 4600” from Microtek (Taiwan). The gel images were then exported directly to the ImageMaster 2D Platinum software ver.5 (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Sweden) for protein spots detection, quantification, and annotation. 2.4. Protein Identification. 2.4.1. Manual Processing. Protein spots were excised manually from the 2-D gels before they were washed with milli-Q water and 50 mM NH4HCO3/ACN (1:1, v/v) for 15 min respectively, and then washed with ACN. In the reduction-alkylation steps that followed, the gel plugs were first incubated at 56 °C in 10 mM DTT/25 mM NH4HCO3 for 45 min and further incubated in dark at room temperature in 55 mM iodoacetamide/25 mM NH4HCO3 for another 45 min. After removal of the solution, ACN was used to wash the gel plugs before drying in a vacuum SpeedVac. Finally, the gel plugs were incubated in 10 ng/µL sequencing grade trypsin (Promega) in 25 mM NH4HCO3 at 37 °C overnight. Peptide extraction was performed with ACN/0.1% TFA (1:1 v/v) under sonication for three cycles. The collected “supernatant” was concentrated to 3-5 µL in a vacuum centrifuge. The sample (0.5 µL) was mixed with 2 µL of HCCA stock matrix solution [1 mg HCCA/500 µL ACN and then mixed with 0.2% TFA (1:1, v/v)]. They were allowed to air-dry on an AnchorChip (400 or 600 µm spot size) (Bruker Daltonics, Germany), a prestructured MALDI sample support which was proven to enhance the sensitivity of detection.18,19 Mass spectra were acquired using a Bruker Autoflex MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer under the positive ion reflectron mode. The time-of-flight was measured using the following parameters: 19 kV Ion source 1 (reflector), 16.55 kV Ion source 2 (reflector detector), 1400 V detector gain voltage offset, 5 Hz laser frequency, 80 ns plused ion extraction. Nonlinear external calibration was done with a calibrant mixture containing angiotensin II (m/z 1046.5418), angiotensin I (m/z 1296.6848), substance P (m/z 1347.7354), bombesin (m/z 1619.8223), ACTH (fragment 1-17, m/z 2093.0862), and ACTH (fragment 18-39, m/z 2465.1983). The spectra were further calibrated internally against the autoproteolytic trypsin fragments of m/z 842.509 and m/z 2211.104. The resulting peak lists from 800 to 3000 m/z for all samples were generated by the FlexAnalysis 2.0 software (Bruker Daltonik, Germany) and searched against the Swiss-Prot and NCBInr sequence databases via the Mascot search engine online (http://www. matrixscience.com) or through the m/z software, Biotools 2.0 (Bruker Daltonik, Germany) after removing all known contaminant peaks. For database entry, we restricted the taxonomy to Metazoa (animals) and allowed a maximum of 1 missed cleavage. The protonated molecule ion “MH+” and “Monoisotopic” were defined for the peak mass data input. The potential chemical modifications of a peptide such as the alkylation of

a cysteine [Carbamidomethyl (C)] and the oxidation of a methionine residue [Oxidation (M)] were also considered in the search. For all mass lists, the peptide tolerance/error was at most 100 ppm and no restriction was applied for both the protein isoelectric point and molecular weight. 2.4.2. Processing Using the Robotic System. Protein spots identification of coomassie-stained gels were subjected to automatic processing using a robotic PROTEINEER Line (Bruker Daltonics, Germany). In brief, images of 2-D gels were first scanned, and the spots subjected for protein identification were located and assigned on screen as a picking list in the protein spot picking station. Relevant gel spots were then excised automatically by a robotic picker (PROTEINEER SP) into a 384well microtiter plate. Proteolytic peptide fragments of transferred protein spots were generated by a programmed protocol in the temperature-controlled PROTEINEER DP Digest&Prep station where the washing, in-gel digestion, and incubation steps were sequentially performed. The protein samples and calibrants were subsequently spotted and dried on an Anchor target plate (600 µm spot size) using the “thin-layer affinity preparation” approach.20 Automatic MALDI-TOF peptide acquisition was carried out in the Autoflex MS based on a realtime Fuzzy logic feedback control engine according to a predefined optimized protocol. Acquired peak lists were used as inputs for onsite intranet database search. The searching criteria were similar to that in the manual search except e150 ppm peptide tolerance/error was allowed. Protein identification was evaluated based on the predefined matching criteria similar to that of the manual search. A second phase of manual exam was carried out afterward to ensure that there was no missed laser hit due to any irregular matrix formation or system misalignment.

3. Results and Discussion 3.1. Development of Chick Retinal Proteome Database. The construction of a 2-D map is commonly the first step to allow a systematic study of a particular tissue in the proteomic approach. Master electronic gels (created using imaging software, Adobe Photoshop) of coomassie-stained 2-D chick retinal profiles covering a pH range from 3 to 10 are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. A total of 350 distinct protein spots were detected and most of them (∼71%) fell in the pH 5-8 range. Out of the 160 higher abundant spots picked within this range, 105 (66%) proteins could be identified by the robotic system as a significant match. For those unmatched spots, 32 of them (20%) failed with no peptide spectra generated after MALDITOF MS. This problem could be the result of insufficient trypsin in-gel digestion, uneven on-chip analyte/matrix mixture formation, or simply due to an insufficient amount of sample for identification. These unidentified proteins were trypsindigested again manually using gel plugs from coomassie- or silver-stained gels. All successful protein identifications after MALDI-TOF MS were annotated to the master gels. A total result of 155 retinal proteins identified are listed in Table 1 with their associated information and cross references in the protein sequencing databases. As expected, the average-matched amino acid sequence coverage was found to be higher for protein using gel plugs from coomassie-stained gel (∼36%) when 774

compared to that using silver-stained gel plugs (∼27%). There were 38 spots (∼25%) found with more than one unique significant match in the NCBI database (The National Center for Biotechnology Information search systems). Yet, those “parallel” matches were found either belonging to the multiple species of the same protein or fell into the same family of a particular group of protein. The major difficulty in automatic PMF identification using the robotic system was the large peptide m/z error encountered in using external spectra calibration alone. We found a significant improvement in the database match with the second phase exam by assigning the trypsin autoproteolytic fragments as internal calibration. The remaining identifications for those unmatched protein either require a database search later for more complete sequence libraries or the use of de novo microsequencing approaches such as ESI-MS/MS or PSD-MALDI-TOF. Success of protein identification using the proteomics approach relies heavily on the availability of the genomic data. Chicken has long been the primary model for embryology and development. In response to the growing need for a complete chicken genome, which was accelerated by the recent outbreaks of avian flu, a large-scale sequencing of the chicken genome finally began by a consortium of scientists in early 2003. With the help of whole genome shotgun approach, it was noted that the available genome data for chicken had rapidly

grown from only 1 (complete mitochondrion) to 31 (chromosomes 1-28, 32, m, and z) in a year. As a result, a huge increase in the translated proteins was also provided in the database (about 8300 proteins found in early 2004 to more than 29 000 proteins accumulated in early 2005). Database statistics are being continuously updated online at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?id)9031. We observed a continuous improvement in the number of successful hits for our retinal protein identification in the past 24 months. Currently, only a few (∼ 5%) proteins in our protein list were identified based on homology with other species. In the functional aspect of the chick retinal proteome, we classified proteins identified into 10 groups according to their molecular functions based on the Gene Ontology at the AmiGO database (http://www.godatabase.org)21 as shown in Figure 3. Over 80% identified proteins fell into the grouping of three major molecular activities. These included “catalytic activity” (39%), “binding” (33%), and “transporter activity” (10%). Further classification for the subgroup of the major molecular

It is a cytoskeletal protein which is the major constituent microtubules and is found highly expressed in neuronal cells. An abundant calcium-binding protein in the eye. It is found expressed in retinal cone cells for phototransduction function. Both are calcium-binding proteins. They are homologous proteins which localized in many neurons of the CNS. It is expressed primarily in neural tissue, specifically in synapses around neurons, but not in glial cells. A retinal Muller glial-specific enzyme that amidates glutamate, a well-known retinal neurotransmitter, to glutamine. It is inducible only when Muller cells are closely associated with retina neurons. It is an essential glycolytic enzyme that catalyses the interconversion of 2-phosphoglycerate and phosphoenolpyruvate. There are 3 different tissue-specific isoenzymes (R, β, and γ) currently known. It catalyzes the reversible transfer of high energy phosphate from ATP to creatine, generating phosphocreatine and ADP. It plays a central role in energy transduction in the brain and retina. It is one of the ubiquitous glycolytic enzymes found in the brain for glycolysis. It is one of the cytosolic isozymes of carbonate dehydratase which is responsible for the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. It is found widespread in brain tissue.

in terms of their biological processes. Among the 100 annotated proteins according to the database (QuickGO database, http:// www.ebi.ac.uk/ego/), 30% was found to be involved in glycolysis or metabolism actions, while 20% was related to transport or signal transduction. These findings reflected the energetic property of retina as a highly differentiated neuroectodermal tissue to perform its task. In addition to common housekeeping proteins, such as heat shock proteins and the actin-related proteins, a number of high abundant retinal proteins that had been reported were readily observed in our retinal proteomic maps (Figure 1 and Figure 2). These included tubulin (spots 39, 40);22,23 visinin (spot 33);24 calretinin (spot 34), calmodulin (spot 146);25-27 β-synuclein (spot 145);28,29 glutamine synthetase (spot 61);30,31 enolase (spots 64, 65, 67, 70, 108);32 B-creatine kinase (spots 66, 71, 82, 109);33,34 aldolase C (spots 63, 84, 98),35 and carbonic anhydrase II (spots 58, 59),36 among others. A brief summary of these proteins is listed in Table 2. In the 2-DE profile, Enolase, B-creatine kinase and aldolase C showed several isoelectric variants. These suggested the existence of a number of physiological post-translational protein modifications such as protein phosphorylation where the most basic spot was the dominant one (not phosphorylated). For a better understanding of these physiological changes and to confirm the exact locations of such PTMs, further protein sequence study using LC-MS/MS will provide better hints. This study provided complement reference data to previous human RPE database37 as well as a more global profile than the previous available retinal photoreceptors38 and retinal Muller glia cells maps.39 In view of the common embryological origin between the retina and CNS, it is not surprising to see that the major retinal profile shared good similarity with that of the brain or cerebellum according to the published proteome databases.40-42 3.2.

hyperopic (long-sighted) and they grow toward emmetropia (normal refractive status) during the early postnatal period. Our data showed that the mean refractive error (in equivalent sphere) of postnatal growth approached emmetropic from +1.88 ( 0.30 D at PN3 to +0.79 ( 0.28 D at PN20 (mean ( SEM where n)6 in each group). The above results agreed with the findings in previous studies of postnatal chick growth very well.45,46 Applying an equal amount of retinal protein extract from an individual chick (n)3 in each group), we also studied the protein profiles of the pooled retinae from PN3, PN10, and PN20 chicks using broad range pH 3-10 IPG strips and silver staining. The gel images from the left eyes were studied and shown in Figure 5A. Protein profiles among these 3 time-points were very similar to most of the proteins distributed within the pH 5-8 range. Using the gel analysis software, we detected over 500 (524 ( 31, mean ( SEM, n)3) distinct protein spots within that range. There were six spots (#D1, #D2, #U1, two spots in #U2, and #U3) found to be differentially expressed during the period investigated. The related gel image sections were enlarged and shown in Figure 5B. Similar differential protein changes were also found in the contralateral eyes, and the overall findings are summarized in Figure 5C based on the calculated “spot volume” of each specific spot [“spot volume” is the integration of optical density over the spot area where the value is calibrated against the gel background value adjacent to the spot]. To closely study the retinal protein profile within the central region of the gel where most of the protein spots were located, the pooled protein samples of PN3 and PN20 for both eyes were further separated using pH 5-8 IPG strips (Figure 6). Apart from the six differentially expressed spots detected previously, two more differentially expressed spots (#D3 and #U4) were found in the 2-D gels using this narrow pH range. Out of the 8 proteins, 6 of them could be successfully identified by MALDI-TOF MS, while very weak peptide signals could be detected in the other two spots. In Figure 5B,C, two spots showed down-regulation during the retinal growth

A total of 60 µg (20 µg from each individual, 3 chicks in each group) soluble proteins in each time point was separated on the IPG strips covering pH 3-10, followed by 12% SDS-PAGE. The gels were stained with MS-compatible silver nitrate solution (2-D gels for the left eye were shown as an example). Differentially expressed protein areas were shown in blocks. (B) Relevant gel sections in blocks were magnified, and the differentially expressed proteins were marked by arrows or circles.

process. #D1 (Apolipoprotein AI) showed a gradual decrease in protein amount. #D2 (not identified) showed a very rapid protein down-regulation, and it could not be detected at PN20. For the up-regulated proteins, four spots included #U1 (PREDICTED: similar to glyoxylase 1; glyoxalase 1), two spots at #U2 (both were identified as phosphoglycerate mutase type B subunit, PGM-B), and #U3 (destrin; actin depolymerizing factor, ADF) showed increasing protein amount with time. The #U1

spot (PREDICTED: similar to glyoxylase 1; glyoxalase 1) was undetectable at PN3 which might be due to the limited protein expression for this particular protein at an earlier retinal differentiation stage. To validate the result of the pool protein profiles, 2-D gels of the single chick of the pool were also generated to check for the differential protein expressions. This was done to ensure that the findings were in agreement in the 3 individual chicks in the same group (data not shown). Journal of Proteome Research • Vol. 5, No. 4, 2006 781

Figure 6. Enlarged panels showing the differential retinal protein expressions (in arrows or circles) during normal postnatal retinal growth in both eyes between PN3 and PN20. Two-dimensional gels were generated using narrower pH 5-8 IPG strips. Two down-regulated proteins (#D1 and #D2) and four up-regulated proteins (#U1, #U2a, #U2b, and #U3) were found similar to the findings in Figure 5. Three new and additional differentially expressed proteins (#D3, #U4, and arrows indicated in #U1) were found with narrow pH range (5-8).

When the narrow pH range wss used, the 6 differential expressions could be repeated again. In addition, we found an extra down-regulated spot #D3 (Fatty acid-binding protein, retina; R-FABP) as well as another up-regulated spot #U4 (not identified). Moreover, when the same region at #U1 (PREDICTED: similar to glyoxylase 1; glyoxalase 1) between gel separations using IPG strips pH 3-10 (Figure 5B) and pH 5-8 (Figure 6) was compared, an extra spot (arrows) which showed a shifting in location could only be resolved with narrow IPGs. All differential expressions detected here at least had a 2-fold difference in the calculated protein volume. With respect to the gel images, they clearly showed that a narrower “zoom-in” gel was more powerful in resolving the closely packed protein

spots in the 2-D gel analysis. The general documented functions for all identified proteins are listed in Table 3. Although a similar investigation using the proteomic approach was not yet available, we could find indirect evidence supporting our observations in some studies. Apolipoprotein AI (apo-AI) is a primary protein constituent of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). It was found that the HDL concentration in chick liver and skeletal muscle increased sharply around hatching and then decreased after 1 week of postnatal time.47,48 The Apo-AI mRNA level and its synthesis showed a similar trend.49,50 Apo-AI was also found to be developmentally regulated in the chick sciatic nerve, in parallel with the process of active myelination.51 R-FABP is the avian counterpart of murine brain FABP implicated in glial cell differentiation and neuronal cell migration. A study on chick mRNAs level also confirmed the elevation of FABPs in undifferentiated retina from embryonic day 3.5 and a subsequent decrease (50-100-fold) upon tissue maturation through day 7 to day 19. They suggested that the encoded protein/s may play an important role in the early retinal development.52,53 Localization of FABP during the early stages has also been described elsewhere.54 PGM-type B has not been well-characterized in chick tissue. Studies have shown PGM’s involvement in muscle differentiation in human muscle culture55 and rat facial development.56 It was shown to increase with age in cultured dermal fibroblasts.57 Therefore, PGM is likely to be important in the growth of retina. Glyoxalase I is not only vital in the earliest stages of embryogenesis, through maturation and development, but is also involved in aging and death.58 Although the developmental change of glyoxalase has not been previously found in the ocular system, its activity was increased in liver, spleen, and kidney of aging mice.59 Moreover, its role in the regulation of growth and differentiation in plant has been documented.60 Destrin is important for a variety of cellular processes involving actin remodeling.61 In the eye system, a close relationship between the mice destrin gene and the proliferation rate of the corneal epithelium has been found.62 ADF was believed to be the essential regulator necessary for neurite outgrowth, and its role in nervous system development was recently reviewed.63 We investigated the chick retinal protein changes in the first 3 weeks after hatching when ocular growth and development is the greatest. Matsumoto, H., et al. was one of the first groups to recognize the role of mass spectrometry in molecular biosciences using Drosophilia eye as an example.64 Cavusoglu, N., et al. had also applied the proteomic approach to analyze

A Chick Retinal Proteome Database

the degeneration of photoreceptors using a mouse model.65 With the proteomic approach, we have not only confirmed those known proteins involved in the chick growth but also reported new proteins that may play roles in the retinal growth. Additional knowledge of the gene products as well as their temporal change may shed light on the molecular mechanisms involved in the tissue maturation. One of the aims of developmental biology is to prevent disease developed with aging. Without a more thorough understanding of pathophysiology, it is difficult to treat degenerative diseases such as glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, and age-related macular degeneration.

4. Concluding Remarks While a conventional approach of in situ hybridization (reviewed in refs 66, 67) or immunocytochemistry (reviewed in ref 68) allows study at the single cell level, a massive expansion of the field of proteomics has recently offered the opportunity to assess the whole tissue extracts at the cellular and subcellular levels. Proteomics approach with 2-DE allows separation and comparison of the expression profiling of a complex protein mixture. The current study has profiled the overall protein population in retinal tissue using the proteomics approach. We have also studied the differential protein expressions which are believed to be involved in the retinal maturation or the emmetropization process in the early development of chick eyes. The recent completion of the chicken (Gallus gallus) genome sequence (first draft in March 2004; The National Human Genome Research Institute, http://www. nhgri.nih.gov/11510730) has definitely facilitated the 2-DEbased protein identification by MALDI-TOF MS. Our current dataset of retinal proteome may provide a foundation for global differential proteome analysis and comparison so that targeted studies on specific group of proteins could be undertaken. By the application of a similar approach, the proteomic investigations employing chick as a myopic model are recently being explored and presented in the conference of Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (E-Abstract 3144 and E-Abstract 3331).69,70 A number of the candidate proteins suggested at the preliminary finding could be matched to the current proteome database. The strength of applying “comparative proteomics” in eye research is apparent because of the presence of two bilaterally symmetrical sensory systems. Different manipulations of the two eyes of a single animal, with the same genetic make up, are possible. The same approach may not be applicable to many other cellular tissues. Therefore, the proteomics application in retina, as well as eye research, is set to provide novel and valuable information on both the normal physiology and disease processes of the eye.
