Purpose of Paper

The purpose of this paper was to compare methods for proteome characterization and determine the feasibility of quantification using Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) in aqueous humor specimens.

Conclusion of Paper

A total of 198 protein groups were identified using three different methods of inducing dissociation. 58 of these protein groups were identified by all three methods and 36 were identified by two of three methods. iTRAQ labeling showed that 88% of proteins were expressed similarly between specimens.

Studies

  1. Study Purpose

    The purpose of this study was to compare the proteomes of aqueous humor identified using three strategies for dissociation. Aqueous humor specimens from patients undergoing cataracts surgery were stored with protease inhibitor at 4 degrees C, for less than 4 h, prior to centrifugation and storage of the supernatant at -80 degrees C.

    Summary of Findings:

    While 156 protein groups were identified by one-dimensional gel collision-induced dissociation (1D-G-CID), 117 and 77 protein groups were identified by two-dimensional shotgun collision-induced dissociation (2D-SG-CID) and two-dimensional shotgun high-energy collision-induced dissociation (2D-SG-HCD), respectively. Of the 198 total protein groups identified, 58 were identified by all three methods, and 36 protein groups were identified by two of three methods. iTRAQ labeling of 2D-SG-HCD specimens showed that 88% of proteins were expressed similarly (<2 fold difference) between specimens.
