Retinal gene expression in chicks during imposed myopic defocus

ABSTRACT: The retina plays an important regulatory role in ocular growth. To screen for new retinal candidate genes that could be involved in the inhibition of ocular growth, we used chick microarrays to analyze the changes in retinal mRNA expression after myopic defocus was imposed by positive lens-wear. Chicks were raised under a 12h-light/12h-dark cycle (light-onset: 8:00 am and light-offset: 8:00 pm) with unrestricted access to water and food. On the day prior to the experiment, velcro rings were glued to the feathers around the eye under diethylether anaesthesia. Four male white leghorn chicks, aged 9 days, wore +6.9D spectacle lenses over both eyes for 24 hours. Four untreated age-matched male chicks from the same batch served as controls. After decapitation of the chicks, the eyes were enucleated and the retina was prepared. The retinae from both eyes of each chick were pooled for RNA isolation. Keywords: gene expression comparison

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.

Microarray analysis of changes in gene expression within the amacrine cell layer of chicks following optical defocus

Project description:Ocular growth is regulated locally by signals produced in the retina that ultimately act on the growth of the scleral tissue. Consequently, a number of studies have investigated changes in retinal gene expression during manipulation of ocular growth in an attempt to elucidate the biochemical pathways underlying eye growth. However, due to the highly heterogenous nature of the retina, important changes in gene expression can be masked. Therefore, this study has investigated changes in gene expression specifically within the retinal amacrine cell layer, the most likely generator of growth signals, during manipulations of ocular growth. Chicks were monocularly treated with either -7D (n=3, growth stimulant) or +7D (n=3, growth suppressant) lenses for 24hrs, with untreated age-matched chicks serving as a control (n=3). Total RNA from the amacrine cell layer was isolated from laser-capture microdissected (Zeiss, Bernried, Germany) 10Âµm thick sections. Labeled cRNA was prepared from three separate samples per condition and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Chicken Genome arrays.

Transcription profiling of chicken with experimentally induced myopia

Project description:One-day old white Leghorn chicks were housed in brooders with a 12 hr light:dark cycle, using General Electric chroma 50 fluorescent lighting with irradiance of approximately 50Î¼W/cm2 at chick eye level. They received Purina Chick Chow food and water ad libitum. At one week of age and at the onset of the light phase, the chicks were anesthetized with inhalation ether, and a unilateral translucent white plastic goggle was glued to the periorbital feathers to induce ipsilateral form-deprivation myopia, alternating between the left or right eye. After either 6 hrs (n=8) or 3 days (n=8) of goggle wear, the chicks were killed by decapitation. The enucleated eyes were opened at the equator, and the retina/RPE was dissected together from both the goggled and control eyes. The tissues were individually frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen until processed Experiment Overall Design: Six biological replicates used for each: 3 day control retina, 3 day experimental, 6 hour control retina, and 6 hour experimental.

Daily Patterns of Retinal and Choroidal Gene Expression and Circadian Biology in Myopia Pathogenesis

Project description:We investigated diurnal changes in gene expression in the retina and choroid at the onset of experimental myopia. We induced visual form deprivation myopia in young chicks, and isolated retinal and choroidal tissues separately in form- deprived and contralateral control eyes every 4 hours over a single 24-hour period.
