Project description:We have used surgical specimens to perform a differential analysis of the transcriptome of human retinal tissues following detachment. Data analysis reveals major involvement of the immune response in the disease and interindividual variation was monitored to unravel a second crucial aspect of the pathological process, the death of photoreceptor cells. In total 38 surgical specimens (samples) were analyzed, 19 represent biopsies from patients with retinal detachment (RD) and 19 represent contral samples without retinal detachment.

Project description:Retinal detachment is a major cause of blindness due to penetrating trauma and ocular inflammation, and is often observed in many patients following cataract extraction surgery. When the retinal photoreceptors detach from their epithelium, stress signals and apoptotic pathways are initiated that will lead to loss of vision, however accelerating the reattachment of these cells can prevent photoreceptor death and subsequent vision loss. To determine the genes involved in this process, we performed a microarray screen using a mouse model or retinal detachment in conjunction with a P2Y2 agonist previously demonstrated to hasten retinal reattachment. Experiment Overall Design: We conducted a microarray screen to identify genes involved in promoting faster resolution of retinal detachment. Subretinal detachment was induced in Balb/cJ mice by subretinal injection of 1 uL saline or delivery of 1 uL of 10uM INS37217/Saline to cause detachment and expedite the rate of recovery. We performed this study at three timepoints: 2 hrs post-injection to identify early response genes; 24 hrs post-detachment when the retina has reattached, but still grossly misfolded; and 7 days post-detachment when the misfolding has been resolved, but retinal function is merely 50% of wild-type function. We used each RNA pool (each containing >5 retinas) for GeneChip hybridization giving a total of 3 biological replicates for each treatment at each timepoint. For each GeneChip, we labeled 7 ug of total RNA according to the manufacturerâs specifications (Affymetrix Inc.).

Project description:Here, we performed molecular pathology analysis of the vitreous proteomes collected from 127 patients with RRD using SWATH-mass spectrometry. For comparison, samples of neurodegenerative vitreoretinal interface eyes (MH, Pucker) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy eyes with tractional-retinal detachment (PDR-TRD) were used as a control.

Project description:This study aims to utilize DIA-based proteomics technology to observe the effects of preoperative steroid interventions on the vitreous proteome in retinal detachment with choroidal detachment （RRDCD） patients. Gaining a deeper understanding of the changes in vitreous humor proteins following steroid-assisted therapy could offer valuable insights. Associating the proteomic profile of RRDCD with its clinical characteristics may provide new perspectives on the underlying mechanisms of the disease.

Project description:The vitreous humor can provide important information about physiological and pathophysiological processes within the eye, particularly concerning the retina. Despite the widespread prevalence of various vitreoretinal diseases, that can ultimately lead to blindness, there is not a clear understanding of many molecular processes underlying these conditions. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness among working-age adults in U.S. and developed world. It can result in macular edema and tractional retinal detachment (TRD). Hyperglycemia can induce damage to retinal cells and capillary closure, leading to retinal ischemia and elevated levels of nitric oxide (NO). This, in turn, increases the activity of protein kinase C and the levels of different growth factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These events can stimulate the development of new blood vessels from existing matured vessels, which are subsequently encompassed by glial cells and fibrous proliferation, potentially leading to TRD. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) is the separation of neuroretinal layers from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), induced by a break in the neuroretina that allows the influx of liquefied vitreous. In the detached retina outer layers become ischemic and photoreceptors undergo cell death mainly by apoptosis. Moreover, 3–4 days after retinal detachment, a peak of proliferation of non-neuronal cells, such as astrocytes, endothelial cells, pericytes, and microglia, can be observed. A possible complication of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), a condition defined by the growth and contraction of cellular membranes within the vitreous cavity. Fibroblast or fibrocyte cells have been detected in epiretinal membranes in PVR, and the origin of these cells is debated. Different authors have suggested that they could be transformed RPE cells or metaplastic vascular endothelial cells, glial cells, macrophages, or hyalocytes. Macular pucker is a condition defined by an epiretinal membrane described as a semi-translucent avascular membrane over the internal limiting membrane (ILM) on the surface of the retina. It can be idiopathic or secondary to various conditions, such as trauma, intraocular inflammation, etc. The initial event that can induce an idiopathic pucker is posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), which can cause dehiscence in the internal limiting membrane. Through this opening, microglial cells move to the preretinal surface, where they can interact with hyalocytes and laminocytes. Subsequent transdifferentiation to fibroblast-like cells leads to the development of an epiretinal membrane.

Project description:The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) maintains photoreceptor viability and function, completes the visual cycle, and forms the outer blood-retinal barrier (oBRB). Loss of RPE function gives rise to several monogenic retinal dystrophies and contributes to age-related macular degeneration. Retinal detachment (RD) causes separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying RPE, disrupting the functional and metabolic relationships between these layers. Although the retinal response to RD is highly studied, little is known about how the RPE responds to loss of this interaction. RNA sequencing (RNAseq) was used to compare normal and detached RPE in the C57BL6/J mouse. The naïve mouse RPE transcriptome was compared to previously published RPE signature gene lists and from the union of these 14 genes (Bmp4, Crim1, Degs1, Gja1, Itgav, Mfap3l, Pdpn, Ptgds, Rbp1, Rnf13, Rpe65, Slc4a2, Sulf1 and Ttr) representing a core signature gene set applicable across rodent and human RPE was derived. Gene ontology enrichment analysis (GOEA) of the mouse RPE transcriptome identified expected RPE features and functions, such as pigmentation, phagocytosis, lysosomal and proteasomal degradation of proteins, and barrier function. Differentially expressed genes (DEG) at 1 and 7 days post retinal detachment (dprd). were defined as mRNA with a significant (padj≤0.05) fold change (FC) of 0.67≥FC≥1.5 in detached versus naïve RPE. The RPE transcriptome exhibited dramatic changes at 1 dprd, with 2297 DEG identified. The KEGG pathways and biological process GO groups related to innate immune responses were significantly enriched. Lipocalin 2 (Lcn2) and several chemokines were upregulated, while numerous genes related to RPE functions, such as pigment synthesis, visual cycle, phagocytosis, andtight junctions were down regulated at 1 dprd. The response was largely transient, with only 18 significant DEG identified at 7 dprd, including upregulation of complement gene C4b. Validation studies confirmed RNAseq results. Thus, the RPE quickly down-regulates cell-specific functions and mounts an innate immune defense response following RD. Our data demonstrate that the RPE contributes to the inflammatory response to RD and may play a role in attraction of immune cells to the subretinal space and the opsonization of orphaned outer segments following RD.
