However, biomaterials for preventive sealing and healing of FMs are currently non-existing, which can be partly attributed to the current fragmentary knowledge of FM biology. Despite recent advances in proteomics analysis, a robust and comprehensive description of the amnion proteome is currently lacking. Here, by an optimized protein sample preparation and offline fractionation before liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis, we present a characterization of the healthy human term amnion proteome, which covers more than 40% of the previously reported transcripts in similar RNA sequencing datasets and, with more than 5000 identifications, greatly outnumbers previous reports. Together, beyond providing a basis for the study of compromised and preterm ruptured FMs, this comprehensive human amnion proteome is a stepping-stone for the development of novel healing-inducing biomaterials.
