TGFβ signaling in retinal tissue repair [Danio Rerio]

ABSTRACT: In mammals, retinal damage is followed by Müller glia cell activation and proliferation. While retinal gliosis persists in adult mammals after an insult or disease, some vertebrates, including zebrafish, have the capacity to regenerate. We believe we are the first group to show that gliosis is a fibrotic-like process in mammals’ eyes caused by differential activation of canonical and non-canonical TGFβ signaling pathways.

Linking YAP to Müller glia quiescence exit in the degenerative retina

Project description:Contrasting with fish or amphibian, retinal regeneration from Müller glial cells is largely limited in mammals. In our quest towards the identification of molecular cues that may boost their stemness potential, we investigated the involvement of the Hippo pathway effector YAP, which we previously found to be upregulated in Müller cells following retinal injury. We report that conditional Yap deletion in Müller cells prevents the upregulation of cell cycle genes that normally accompanies reactive gliosis upon photoreceptor cell death. This occurs as a consequence of defective EGFR signaling. Consistent with a function of YAP in triggering Müller glia cell cycle re-entry, we further show that in Xenopus, a species endowed with efficient regenerative capacity, YAP is required for their injury-dependent proliferative response. Finally, and noteworthy, we reveal that YAP overactivation in mouse Müller cells is sufficient to induce their reprogramming into highly proliferative cells. Overall, we unravel a pivotal role for YAP in tuning Müller cell response to injury and highlight a novel YAP-EGFR axis by which Müller cells exit their quiescence state, a critical step towards regeneration.

Characterization of the chromatin accessibility profile of Plagl1+/-pat retina

Project description:Retinal damage triggers reactive gliosis in Müller glia across vertebrate species, but only in regenerative animals, such as teleost fish, do Müller glia initiate repair; proliferating and undergoing neurogenesis to replace lost cells. We found that Plagl1, a maternally imprinted gene, is dynamically regulated in reactive Müller glia post-insult, with transcript levels transiently increasing before stably declining. To study Plagl1 retinal function, we examined Plagl1+/-pat null mutants postnatally, revealing defects in retinal architecture, visual signal processing and a reactive gliotic phenotype. Plagl1+/-pat Müller glia proliferate ectopically and give rise to inner retinal neurons and photoreceptors. Transcriptomic and ATAC-seq profiles revealed similarities between Plagl1+/-pat retinas and neurodegenerative and injury models, including an upregulation of pro-gliogenic and pro-proliferative pathways, such as Notch, not observed in wild-type retinas Plagl1 is thus an essential component of the transcriptional regulatory networks that retain mammalian Müller glia in quiescence.

The Rax homeoprotein in Müller glial cells is required for homeostasis maintenance of the postnatal mouse retina

Project description:To address the function of Rax in differentiated Müller glial cells, we generated Rax tamoxifen-induced conditional knock-out (Rax iCKO) mice, where Rax can be depleted in mTFP-labeled Müller glial cells upon tamoxifen treatment, by crossing Raxflox/flox mice with Rlbp1-CreERT2 mice and found histological characteristic of reactive gliosis and an enhanced gliosis of Müller glial cells in the Rax iCKO retina under normal and stress conditions, respectively. RNA sequencing using isolated Müller glial cells from the Rax iCKO retina by fluorescence-activated cell sorting demonstrated that reduced expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (Socs3), whose depletion leads to reactive gliosis in Müller glial cells. Reporter gene assays showed that Rax directly transactivates Socs3 and we observed decreased expression of Socs3 in Müller glial cells of the Rax iCKO retina by immunostaining. Taken together, these results suggest that the Rax homeoprotein suppresses reactive gliosis in Müller glial cells by transactivating Socs3 in vivo. Our results may shed light on the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying Müller glial cell homeostasis.
