Region-resolved multi-omics of the mouse eye.

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, the hierarchical molecular network in region-wide resolution, indicating the division of labor and crosstalk among different eye regions, is not yet comprehensively illuminated. Here, we present an atlas of region-resolved proteome and lipidome of mouse eye. Multiphoton microscopy-guided laser microdissection combined with in-depth label-free proteomics identifies 13,536 proteins across various mouse eye regions. Further integrative analysis of spectral imaging, label-free proteome, and imaging mass spectrometry of the lipidome and phosphoproteome reveals distinctive molecular features, including proteins and lipids of various anatomical mouse eye regions. These deposited datasets and our open proteome server integrating all information provide a valuable resource for future functional and mechanistic studies of mouse eye and ocular disease.
