Infection by Leptospira interrogans has been causally associated with human and equine uveitis. Studies in our laboratories have demonstrated that leptospiral lipoprotein LruA and LruB are expressed in the eyes of uveitic horses, and that antibodies ...

Chronic environmental temperature affects protein expression in the eye of adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) [PDF]
Vision in vertebrates is mediated by the eye, a complex organ with developmental and functional similarities to the central nervous system. Eye proteomics has emerged as a powerful tool for investigating ocular function and disease mechanisms, including ...

Glycation of nail proteins: from basic biochemical findings to a representative marker for diabetic glycation-associated target organ damage. [PDF]
Although assessment of glycated nail proteins may be a useful marker for monitoring of diabetes, their nature and formation are still poorly understood. Besides a detailed anatomical analysis of keratin glycation, the usefulness of glycated nail protein ...

Keeping an eye on SOXC proteins [PDF]
The formation of a mature, functional eye requires a complex series of cell proliferation, migration, induction among different germinal layers, and cell differentiation. These processes are regulated by extracellular cues such as the Wnt/BMP/Hh/Fgf signaling pathways, as well as cell intrinsic transcription factors that specify cell fate.

The use of in-strip digestion for fast proteomic analysis on tear fluid from dry eye patients. [PDF]
Tear is an accessible fluid for exploring biomarkers of dry eye disease. This study describes a fast proteomic method by LC-Q-orbitrap-MS analysis with in-strip digestion and investigates the tear proteome of dry eye patients. Schirmer's strips were used

Profiling tear proteomes of patients with unilateral relapsed Behcet’s disease-associated uveitis using data-independent acquisition proteomics [PDF]
Purpose To explore whether unilateral relapse of Bechet’s disease-associated uveitis (BDU) causes differences in the tear proteome between the diseased and the contralateral quiescent eye and potential tear biomarkers for uveitis recurrence and disease ...

Region-resolved multi-omics of the mouse eye
Summary: The eye is a complex organ consisting of multiple compartments with unique and specialized properties, and small disturbances in one eye region can result in impaired vision and blindness. Although there have been advancements in ocular research,

Metallothioneins, a Part of the Retinal Endogenous Protective System in Various Ocular Diseases
Metallothioneins are the metal-rich proteins that play important roles in metal homeostasis and detoxification. Moreover, these proteins protect cells against oxidative stress, inhibit proapoptotic mechanisms and enhance cell differentiation and survival.

The multi-functional eyes absent proteins [PDF]
The Eyes Absent (EYA) proteins are the only known instance of a single polypeptide housing the following three separable biochemical activities: tyrosine phosphatase, threonine phosphatase, and transactivation. This uniquely positions the EYAs to participate in both transcriptional regulation and signal transduction pathways.
