Résumé
Considering absence of invasiveness and side effects, tears emerge as a particularly attractive fluid for biomarker discovery and therefore for daily clinical use. However, to date this fluid remains poorly studied in healthy condition. Here, we present an updated in-depth characterisation of the human healthy tear protein composition using proteomics approach. Both eyes of 8 healthy controls (4 men and 4 women, average age: 38 ± 18) were collected using the Schirmer's strip method. After liquid digestion and off-gel electrophoresis fractionation, three independent proteomics analyses were performed on a LTQ-Orbitrap Velos Pro. Globally, 1351 proteins were identified with 2 unique peptides and 1% FDR. Gene ontology analyses showed up that 39% of the tear proteins were enzymes, with high numbers of dehydrogenases, phosphatases, kinases and ligases. Immunoglobulins, serpins and 14-3-3 domains proteins also emerged as the main tear protein families. The glycolysis and the coagulation and complement cascades, which were already shown in tears as involved in ocular and systemic diseases, were highlighted performing pathway analyses. Our study therefore complements the existing data on healthy tears proteome. Nevertheless, extensive studies for deeply and definitively characterise this promising fluid are required in the near future in order to be able to routinely use this fluid in clinics. A better understanding of its protein content will probably open new avenues in the biomarker discovery and clinical practice in the near future.
