Gene expression profile of the developing human retinal pigment epithelium

ABSTRACT: The microarray technique was used to investigate gene expression level changes in human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) microdissected from fetal eyes (13 and 16 weeks of gestation) and adult eyes (40-60 years old). The gene expression analysis of human fetal RPE during development were performed and compared to human native RPE. Of the 45,033 probe sets on the microarray, 30,736 were detected. 3498 differentially expressed genes could be clustered into 8 patterns of expression that were statistically significant. Analyzing expression pattern of genes coding for key functions (pigment synthesis, visual cycle, phagocytosis, adherens and tight junction, transcellular transport) indicates human RPE achieved a high degree of maturity at early pregnancy. Compare to 154 signature genes of RPE, 148 candidate genes were identified in this studies including 53 down-regulated genes and 5 up-regulated genes. qRT2-PCR results showed similar expression trends with the microarray at three time points.These ﬁndings indicate human RPE has different expression pattern compared to other animals. A three chip study using total RNA pooled equally from three 13-week fetal eyes, two 16-week fetal eyes and two adult eyes for three time points (13, 16 week gestation and mature adult eye). Experiment was repeated in another group samples. This is a six chip study totally.

Transcription profiling of nouse pigmented epithial cells

Project description:Adult (6- to 8-week-old) C57BL/6 purchased from CLEA Japan Inc. (Tokyo, Japan) were used as donors ocular pigment epithelium (PE). To cultivate retinal PE (RPE) eyes were cut into two parts along a circumferential line posterior to the ciliary process, creating a ciliary body-deficient posterior eyecup. The eyecup was then incubated in 0.2% trypsin (Biowhitaker) for 1 hr. These tissues were triturated to make a single cell suspension, and then re-suspended in the medium. Experiment Overall Design: Comparison of gene expression pattern in Mouse Primary Cultured Cell Lines (RPE, RPE+IFNg).

Characterization of RPE subpopulation gene expression and cell surface protein composition using single cell sequencing

Project description:The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) has traditionally been considered a homogenous monolayer, however differences in morphology, gene expression and disease susceptibility of RPE cells in different retinal regions has recently been described. To further catalog RPE subpopulation diversity, we have isolated RPE cells from both donated adult human eyes and RPE derived from RPE stem cells (RPESC) to characterize transcriptomic and cell surface differences within the native and clinically relevant cultured RPE subpopulations using CITE-Seq.

Transcriptome Analysis and Molecular Signature of Human Retinal Pigment Epithelium

Project description:The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a polarized cell layer that is critical for photoreceptor function and survival. Itâs unique relationship to the photoreceptors and its specific physiology makes the RPE a critical determinant of human vision. Therefore we performed global expression profiling of native and cultured human fetal and adult RPE and determined a unique set of highly-expressed genes (called the âsignatureâ set) by comparing the observed RPE gene profiles to the Novartis expression database (SymAtlas: http://wombat.gnf.org/index.html) of 78 tissues. A comparative analysis of transcriptomes from human fetal and adult RPE, primary cultures and commonly-used cell lines was performed. Using selection criteria of at least 10-fold higher expression in each of three RPE preparations, we identified 154 RPE signature genes, which were validated by qRT-PCR analysis in RPE and in an independent set of 11 tissues.

Spontaneous generation of a novel fetal human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell line available for investigation on phagocytosis and morphogenesis

Project description:Purpose: Primary retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells have a limited capacity to re-establish epithelial morphology and to remain native RPE function in vitro, and all commercially available RPE cell lines have drawbacks of morphology or function; therefore, the establishment of new RPE cell lines with typical characteristics of RPE would be helpful in further understanding of their physiological and pathological mechanism. Here, we firstly report a new spontaneously generated RPE line, fhRPE-13A, from a 13-week aborted foetus. We aimed to investigate its availability as a RPE model. Methods:RNA-seq data were mapped to the human genome assembly hg19. Global transcriptional data were analyzed by Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) and differentially expressed genes(DEGs) to identify gene expression profiles. The morphology and molecular characteristics were examined by immunofluorescence, transmission electron micrographs, PCR and western blot. Photoreceptor outer segments (POS) phagocytosis assay and transepithelial resistance measurement (TER) were performed to assess phagocytic activity and barrier function, respectively. Results: The fhRPE-13A cells showed typical polygonal morphology and the normal biological processes of RPE, had ability of POS phagocytosis in vitro, and expressed TYR and TYRP1 significantly higher than that in ARPE-19 cells. Conclusions: The fetal human RPE line fhRPE-13A is a valuable system for researching phagocytosis function and morphogenesis of RPE in vitro.

Image defocus and altered retinal gene expression in chicks

Project description:Because refractive development is governed largely by the retina, we analyzed the retinal transcriptome in chicks wearing a spectacle lens, a well-established means to induce refractive errors, to identify gene expression alterations and to develop novel mechanistic hypotheses about refractive development. One-week-old white Leghorn chicks wore a unilateral spectacle lens of + or –15 diopters for 6 hours or 3 days (n=6 for each condition). With total RNA from the retina/retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), Affymetrix Chicken GeneChips were used to compare gene expression levels between lens-wearing and contralateral control eyes. Normalized microarray signal intensities were evaluated by an analysis of variance approach. Selected differentially expressed genes were validated by qPCR in biologically independent samples.

Retinal pigment epithelial cells suppress interleukin-17-producing T-helper 17 cells

Project description:T cells that encounter cultured ocular pigment epithelial cells in vitro are inhibited from undergoing T cell receptor-triggered activation. Because retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells are able to suppress T-cell activation, we studied whether RPE cells could suppress cytokine production by activated T helper (Th) cells. In this study we showed that primary cultured RPE cells greatly suppressed activation of bystander CD4+ T cells in vitro, especially the cytokine production by the target T helper cells (Th1 cells, Th2 cells, Th17 cells, but not Th3 cells). Cultured RPE cells and RPE-supernatants significantly suppressed IL-17 producing CD4+ T cells, and RPE cells fully suppressed polarized Th17 cell lines that induced by recombinant proteins, IL-6 and TGFb2. Moreover, RPE cells failed to suppress IL-17 producing T cells in the presence of rIL-6. In addition, Th17 cells exposed to RPE were suppressed via TGFb, which produce RPE cells. These results indicate that retinal PE cells have immunosuppressive capacity in order to inhibit Th17-type effector T cells. Thus, ocular resident cells play a role in establishing immune regulation in the eye. Retinal pigment epithelium suppresses Th17 cells

Expression data from human induced pluripotent stem cells derived retinal pigment epithelium (hiPSC-RPE)

Project description:We generated hiPSCs from patients fibloblast with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) using retrovirus and Sendai virus vectors, which we differentiated into hiPSC derived retinal pigment epithelium using two different methods (SDIA and SFEB methods). We investigated whether these hiPSC-RPE colonies, which were differentiated from various cell lines and methods, showed similar gene expression patterns to those of native RPE. We classified hiPSC-RPE, hiPSCs, and fibroblasts from RP patients, hRPE (commercially available human fetal RPE, Lonza) , ARPE19 (a human RPE cell line), and other human tissues from 54,675 probe sets using microarray data.
