“…A literature review revealed that 17 of the proteins that were differentially expressed under our experimental conditions are known to be expressed by and play a functional role in the eye (see Table 1 for expression patterns in various cell types). Those proteins are: HSPA8 (Al-Ubaidi et al 2008; Dean et al 1999), HSPD1 (Al-Ubaidi et al 2008; West et al 2001), ATP5B (Al-Ubaidi et al 2008; Lupien et al 2007; West et al 2001), PCNA (Fimbel et al 2007), RLBP1 (Saari 2000), GNB1 (Al-Ubaidi et al 2008; Lupien et al 2007; Whelan and McGinnis 1988), YWHAZ (Ivanov et al 2006) (West et al 2001), PSMA1 (Ferrington et al 2008), NDUFS3 (Huang et al 2004; Lupien et al 2007), WNT2 (Fokina and Frolova 2006), LYZ (Bonilha et al 2004; Tsai et al 2006), RBP1 (Saari 2000), FABP7 (Hauck et al 2003; Helle et al 2003), SOD1 (Diehn et al 2005; Huang et al 2004; Imamura et al 2006) (Lupien et al 2007), RHO (Hargrave 2001), CRKRS (http://www.dsi.univ-paris5.fr/genatlas/fiche.php?n=30221), GLUL (Moscona et al 1970), and GFAP (Lewis et al 1989). It is striking that Müller cells rather than photoreceptors express the vast majority of differentially expressed proteins, 14 of 17 and 6 of 17, respectively.…”
