Genetic Background-Dependent Role of Egr1 for Eyelid Development

ABSTRACT: EGR1 is an early growth response zinc finger transcription factor with broad actions, including in differentiation, mitogenesis, tumor suppression, and neuronal plasticity. Here we demonstrate that Egr1-/- C57BL/6-background mice have normal eyelid development, but back-crossing to BALB/c background for 4-5 generations resulted in defective eyelid development by embryonic day E15.5, at which time EGR1 was expressed in eyelids of WT mice. Defective eyelid formation correlated with profound ocular anomalies evident by post-natal days 1-4, including severe cryptophthalmos, microphthalmia or anophthalmia, retinal dysplasia, keratitis, corneal neovascularization, cataracts, and calcification. The BALB/c albino phenotype-associated Tyrc tyrosinase mutation appeared to contribute to the phenotype, as crossing the independent Tyrc-2J allele to Egr1-/- C57BL/6 mice also produced ocular abnormalities, albeit less severe than those in Egr1-/- BALB/c mice. Thus, EGR1 in a genetic background-dependent manner plays a critical role in mammalian eyelid development and closure, with subsequent impact on ocular integrity.

Deciphering Gene Expression Program of MAP3K1 in Mouse Eyelid Morphogenesis

Project description:Embryonic eyelid closure is a critical step of mammalian ocular surface development involving the forward movement and ultimate fusion of the upper and lower eyelids. Although its underlying mechanism of action is not fully understood, a functional mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP3K1) is essentially required for eyelid closure. We used microarray to characterize the central role that MAP3K1 plays in embryonic eyelid closure. We used Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) to obtain highly enriched eyelid leading edge and inner eyelid cells from E15.5 wild type and MAP3K1-deficient fetuses and analyze genome-wide expression profiles.

Comparative transcriptome profiles of Lindian chicken eyelids identify melanin genes controlling eyelid pigmentation

Project description:During the long history of chicken domestication, eyelid color, like skin color and shank color, has been one of the unique physical traits of Chinese indigenous chickens that influence consumer behavior. In China, the Lindian chicken, which has colored feathers, is renowned for the appetizing flavor of its meat and eggs, and its eyelid colors varies from deep to light shades, including black, gray, red, and light yellow. To identify the genes controlling eyelid pigmentation, the expression profiles of black and light-yellow eyelids of Lindian chickens were analyzed with transcriptome sequencing. We detected 13,466 genes expressed in the eyelids, among which 14 were differentially expressed. A KEGG pathway analysis showed that tyrosine metabolism and melanogenesis genes were significantly enriched among these DEGs (corrected P < 0.05). Therefore, we infer that melanin metabolism is one of main factors affecting Lindian chicken eyelid pigmentation. In summary, we have identified the melanin genes responsible for eyelid pigmentation of the Lindian chicken, and also provide a valuable resource for the future study of the physical traits of chickens.

Transcriptomic analysis after transfection in murine genetically modified stem cells overexpressing the RAX gene (CCE-Rx cells) of either a siRNA against SOX2 or a scramble siRNA

Project description:SOX2 is the main gene involved in anophthalmia. In order to identify genes regulated by SOX2 transcription factors (genes that could be good candidates to also be involved in ocular development), we studied transcriptomic profiles of murine genetically modified stem cells overexpressing the RAX gene (CCE-Rx cells) after transfection by a siRNA against SOX2 or a scramble siRNA.

ChIP-seq after immunoprecipitation with either IgG or SOX2 antibodies in murine genetically modified stem cells overexpressing the RAX gene (CCE-Rx cells)

Project description:In order to identify target genes of the SOX2 transcription factor, we tried to identify SOX2 binding site in murine genetically modified stem cells overexpressing the RAX gene (CCE-Rx cells) by ChIP-seq. SOX2 gene mutations are involved in anophthalmia and our hypothesis was that target genes of SOX2 transcription factor may also be candidate to be involved in ocular development.

Genetic background variation impacts microglial heterogeneity and disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis model mice

Project description:Recent single-cell analyses have revealed the complexity of microglial heterogeneity in brain development, aging, and neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Disease-associated microglia (DAMs) have been identified in ALS mice model, but their role in ALS pathology remains unclear. The effect of genetic background variations on microglial heterogeneity and functions remains unknown. Herein, we established and analyzed two mice models of ALS with distinct genetic backgrounds of C57BL/6 and BALB/c. We observed that the change in genetic background from C57BL/6 to BALB/c affected microglial heterogeneity and ALS pathology and its progression, likely due to the defective induction of neurotrophic factor-secreting DAMs and impaired microglial survival. Single-cell analyses of ALS mice revealed new markers for each microglial subtype and a possible association between microglial heterogeneity and systemic immune environments. Thus, we highlighted the role of microglia in ALS pathology and importance of genetic background variations in modulating microglial functions.
