Project description:Rabbits have been widely used for studying ocular physiology and pathology due to their relatively large eye size and similar structures with human eyes. Various rabbit ocular disease models, such as dry eye, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma, have been established. Despite the growing application of proteomics in vision research using rabbit ocular models, there is no spectral assay library for rabbit eye proteome publicly available. Here, we generated spectral assay libraries for rabbit eye compartments, including conjunctiva, cornea, iris, retina, sclera, vitreous humor, and tears using fractionated samples and ion mobility separation enabling deep proteome coverage. The rabbit eye spectral assay library includes 9,830 protein groups and 113,593 peptides. We present the data as a freely available community resource for proteomic studies in the vision field.

Project description:Ethanol is a well-known teratogen. While this teratogenic potential is well-characterized clinically, the mechanisms through which ethanol exposure results in developmental defects remain unclear. Here we use the zebrafish model to elucidate eye-specific mechanisms that may underlie ethanol-mediated microphthalmia (reduced eye size), using time-series microarray analysis of gene expression of eye tissues of embryos exposed to 1.5% ethanol vs. untreated embryos. We identified 62 genes differentially expressed in ethanol-treated as compared to control zebrafish eyes from all sampling times over the period of retinal neurogenesis (24-48 hours post-fertilization). Application of the EDGE (extraction of differential gene expression) algorithm identified over 3000 genes differentially expressed over developmental time in ethanol-treated embryo eyes as compared to untreated embryo eyes. These lists included several genes indicating a mis-regulated cellular stress response (heat shock response) due to ethanol exposure. Combined treatment with sub-threshold levels of ethanol and a morpholino (MO) targeting heat shock factor 1 (hsf-1) mRNA resulted in a microphthalmic phenotype, suggesting convergent molecular pathways. Manipulation of the heat shock response by thermal preconditioning partially prevented ethanol-mediated microphthalmia while maintaining Hsf-1 expression. Together these data are consistent with roles for reduced Hsf-1 in mediating microphthalmic effects of embryonic ethanol exposure in zebrafish. time series, 9 samples, no replicates

Project description:Nocte is an RNA binding protein but its functions in Drosophila eye development is unknown. We found that knockdown of nocte by RNAi in Drosophila eyes leads to small and rough eye phenotypes. We detected nocte's functions at mRNA levels by doing RNA-seq with purified polyA mRNA. We detected nocte's functions in mRNA translation by doing Ribo-seq and total RNA-seq to calculate the translation efficiencies.

Project description:eyeless (ey) is one of the most critical transcription factors for initiating the entire eye development in Drosophila. However, the molecular mechanisms through which Ey regulates target genes and pathways have not been characterized at the genomic level. Using ChIP-Seq, we generated an endogenous Ey binding profile in Drosophila developing eyes. These data sets will serve as a valuable resource for future studies on Ey and eye development.

Project description:Coding and non-coding mutations in DNA contribute significantly to phenotypic variability during evolution. However, less is known about the role of epigenetics in this process. Although previous studies have identified eye development genes associated with the loss of eyes phenotype in the Pachón blind cave morph of the Mexican tetra Astyanax mexicanus1-6, no inactivating mutations have been found in any of these genes2,3,7-10. Here we show that excess DNA methylation-based epigenetic silencing promotes eye degeneration in blind cave Astyanax mexicanus. By performing parallel analyses in Astyanax mexicanus cave and surface morphs and in the zebrafish Danio rerio, we have discovered that DNA methylation mediates eye-specific gene repression and globally regulates early eye development. The most significantly hypermethylated and down-regulated genes in the cave morph are also linked to human eye disorders, suggesting the function of these genes is conserved across the vertebrates. Our results show that changes in DNA methylation-based gene repression can serve as an important molecular mechanism generating phenotypic diversity during development and evolution.

Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in response to expression of either mutant (C96Y) or wild-type human proinsulin and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes. Results provides insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying a form of neonatal diabetes. Drosophila eye imaginal discs were selected at the wandering stage of 3rd instar larval development for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a ciliopathy characterized by retinal dystrophy, intellectual disability, polydactyly, obesity and renal anomalies. In photoreceptors (PR), light sensation occurs in outer segments (OSs), which are specialized primary cilia. BBS1, the major BBS gene, is part of a protein complex called “BBSome”, which is involved in intracellular protein transport. However, the precise function of BBS1/BBSome in controlling trafficking of ciliary proteins in PRs remains unclear. We generated a bbs1 knock out zebrafish mutant to investigate the role of Bbs1 and the BBSome in vivo. To detect global changes in the eye proteome and to verify the knock-out of Bbs1, we conducted a whole eyes proteomic investigation.

Project description:Within a mutatgenesis screen, we identified the new recessive mouse mutant KTA48 with a kinky tail, white spots on coat and with small eyes. Aim of the actual study was the molecular characterization of the mutant and the functional consequences of the mutation. We mapped the mutation to mouse chromosome 12 within a critical interval of 2.4 Mb between the markers D12Mit171 and D12Mit270; sequence analysis of Pxdn revealed a T->A mutation at position 3816 (T3816A) resulting in a premature stop codon (Cys1272X) in teh perosidasin domain. Histological analysis revealed variable, but severe defects in teh eye including all major ocular tissues (cornea, lens and retina). These findings demonstrate severe clinical findings of a recessive mutation affecting peroxidasin. Total RNA obtained from homozygote embryos E12.5 and wildtype embryos E12.5, each sample include 4 eyes of two embryos
