✦ Synopsis

The nuclear matrix (NM) proteins of six tissue cultured lens epithelial cell lines and one embryonic rabbit epidermal cell line were analyzed to determine possible tissue and species specificity of these proteins. The NM proteins were isolated by the modified Penman technique. The tissue cultured cells were pulsed with [ 35 S] methionine and nuclear matrix proteins were fractionated by two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. The 2-D gels were dried and autoradiographed. The relative abundance of spot patterns of nuclear matrix proteins of different cells were compared. The data from these experiments revealed that all the examined cell lines have distinct spot patterns, however, all of NM profile showed a spot pattern in the 45 kDa region with acidic pH. Some of these spots cross-reacted with anti-vimentin antibodies, whereas a prominent protein spot in this region did not cross react with either vimentin or actin antibodies. The observed variations in the NM protein patterns of lens epithelial cells may reflect tissue and species specificity and also a role in the regulatory properties of these nuclear proteins in the eye tissue development.

This study examines matrix and nonmatrix nuclear proteins of the rabbit lens epithelial cells. The nuclear matrix proteins were isolated by modified Penman technique, which requires presence of detergents and nucleases, whereas nonmatrix nuclear proteins were obtained by high salt extraction.

## Abstract Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is a known risk factor for cataract, but the molecular mechanisms involved have not been elucidated. We hypothesized that exposure to UVR would modulate the activation of nuclear factor kappa‐B (NF‐κB) within the human lens epithelium, since NF‐κB
