OBJECTIVE To study the role of lens proteomics using two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry in order to exploring novel effective ways for cataract prevention and therapy. METHODS The proteins of the three-month-year old rabbit lens were separated using immobilized pH gradients 2-DE. Image analysis was carried out using Image Master 2D Elite 3.01 software package. Most of the crystallines was identified by matrix assisted laser adsorption/ionization-time of-flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). RESULTS The maps of 2-DE showed that lens proteins were in the section of pH 5 - 9 and the relative molecular weight was 14,000 - 94,000, while relative molecular weight of more abundant crystalline was localized at 14,000 - 40,000. About 180 protein spots were detected with the similar PI, molecular weight and quantity of each spot could be acquired by image analysis software. Sixteen crystallines were identified using MALDI-TOF-MS. CONCLUSIONS Proteomic analysis of lens can be accomplished and the proteins can be well separated and analyzed using 2-DE and mass spectrometry. This technique offers a new avenue for analyses of lens proteins and to assess their differential expression in cataract, and may thus provide a novel approach to cataract prevention and therapy.

D003459 Crystallins A heterogeneous family of water-soluble structural proteins found in cells of the vertebrate lens. The presence of these proteins accounts for the transparency of the lens. The family is composed of four major groups, alpha, beta, gamma, and delta, and several minor groups, which are classed on the basis of size, charge, immunological properties, and vertebrate source. Alpha, beta, and delta crystallins occur in avian and reptilian lenses, while alpha, beta, and gamma crystallins occur in all other lenses.

D019032 Spectrometry, Mass, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization A mass spectrometric technique that is used for the analysis of large biomolecules. Analyte molecules are embedded in an excess matrix of small organic molecules that show a high resonant absorption at the laser wavelength used. The matrix absorbs the laser energy, thus inducing a soft disintegration of the sample-matrix mixture into free (gas phase) matrix and analyte molecules and molecular ions. In general, only molecular ions of the analyte molecules are produced, and almost no fragmentation occurs. This makes the method well suited for molecular weight determinations and mixture analysis.
