Project description:Purpose: Investigate the molecular determinants of retinal regeneration in adult vertebrates by analyzing the gene expression profiles of control and post-lesion retina of adult zebrafish, a system that regenerates following injury. Methods: Gene expression profiles of zebrafish retina and brain were determined with DNA microarray, RT-PCR, and real-time quantitative PCR analyses. Damaged retinas and their corresponding controls were analyzed 2-5 days post-lesion (acute injury condition) or 14 d post-lesion (cell regeneration condition). Results: Expected similarities and differences in the gene expression profile of zebrafish retina and brain were observed, confirming the applicability of the gene expression techniques. Mechanical lesion of retina triggered significant, time-dependent changes in retinal gene expression. The induced transcriptional changes were consistent with cellular phenomena known to occur, in a time-dependent manner, subsequent to retinal lesion, including cell cycle progression, axonal regeneration, and regenerative cytogenesis. Conclusions: The results indicate that retinal regeneration in adult zebrafish involves a complex set of induced, targeted changes in gene transcription, and suggest that these molecular changes underlie the ability of the adult vertebrate retina to regenerate. Keywords: time course; injury response; cellular correlation Control brain and retina (unlesioned); Control and lesioned retina (matched animals, at least n = 8 for each condition).

Project description:Proliferative cells isolated from the adult human peripheral retina only transiently upregulate key retinal markers upon induced differentiation. We used microarray to identify gene expression before and after differentiation to evaluate the in vitro retinal differentiation potential of the cells isolated from the adult human peripheral retina using the current cell culture and differentiation protocol.

Project description:Bhlhe23 is a transcription factor that is required for the maturation and survival of retinal rod bipolar cells in mice. In the adult Bhlhe23-/- retina, rod bipolar cells are almost completely absent. We identified genes that were likely to be important to rod bipolar cell maintenance and function by identifying genes that were significantly down-regulated in the transcriptome of adult Bhlhe23-/- mouse retina compared with wild type retina.

Project description:In the retina of adult teleosts, stem cells are sustained in two specialized niches: the ciliary marginal zone (CMZ) and the microenvironment surrounding adult Müller glia. Recently, Müller glia were identified as the regenerative stem cells in the teleost retina. Secreted signaling molecules that regulate neuronal regeneration in the retina are largely unknown. In a microarray screen to discover such factors, we identified midkine-b (mdkb). Midkine is a highly conserved heparin-binding growth factor with numerous biological functions. The zebrafish genome encodes two distinct midkine genes: mdka and mdkb. Here, we describe the cellular expression of mdka and mdkb during retinal development and the initial, proliferative phase of photoreceptor regeneration. The results show that in the embryonic and larval retina mdka and mdkb are expressed in stem cells, retinal progenitors and neurons in distinct patterns that suggest different functions for the two molecules. Following the selective death of photoreceptors in the adult, mdka and mdkb are co-expressed in horizontal cells and proliferating Müller glia and their neurogenic progeny. These data reveal that Mdka and Mdkb are signaling factors present in the retinal stem cell niches in both embryonic and mature retinas, and that their cellular expression is actively modulated during retinal development and regeneration. Experiment Overall Design: As a means to identify genes necessary for photoreceptor regeneration, we evaluated transcriptional in the retina of the zebrafish as photoreceptors are regenerated. Albino zebrafish were dark adapted, then half were exposed to bright constant light and half were returned to normal lighting. After 72hrs of light exposure, retinal RNA was isolated and analysis of gene expression was performed using Affymetriz zebrafish gene arrays.

Project description:Purpose: The aim of this study was to give a comprehensive overview on spatial distribution of gene expression in the adult mouse retina and integrate this information into existing retinal gene expression databases. Methods: Total RNA was collected by laser capture microdissection from the ganglion cell layer, inner nuclear layer, photoreceptors and the retinal pigmented epithelium of adult mice and was analyzed by oligonucleotide microarrays. The results were validated by quantitative real time PCR and in situ hybridization. Results: The applied method resulted in good separation of cells of different retinal layers. The spatial distribution of gene expression was determined on a global scale in the retina and the RPE. Our results show good correlation with previously reported retinal gene expression and describe genes not yet characterized in the context of the retina. Conclusions: The complexity of the vertebrate retina makes it necessary to determine not only temporal but spatial distributions of gene expression .Our work expands the already significant but still incomplete knowledge of retinal gene expression and hopefully facilitates functional characterization of key factors of retinal development and maintenance. Laser capture microdissected regions of the adult mouse neuronal retina and retinal pigmented epithelium were subjected to microarray analysis. 5 conditions were investigated: ganglion cell layer (GCL, 3 biological replicates), innner nuclear layer (INL, 3 biological replicates), photoreceptor layer from Blk6 (PR-WT, 3 biological replicates) and NrlKO animals (PR-Nrl, 2 biological replicates) and retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE, 1 biological replicate). All samples are co-hybridized with a reference sample (retina). 2 or 3 technical replicates were used for each biological sample. technical replicate - labeled-extract: GC1-1, GC1-2, GC1-3 technical replicate - labeled-extract: GC2-1, GC2-2, GC2-3 technical replicate - labeled-extract: GCpool-1, GCpool-2, GCpool-3 technical replicate - labeled-extract: INL1-1, INL1-2, INL1-3 technical replicate - labeled-extract: INL2-1, INL2-2, INL2-3 technical replicate - labeled-extract: INLpool-1, INLpool-2, INLpool-3 technical replicate - labeled-extract: PR-Nrl1-1, PR-Nrl1-2 technical replicate - labeled-extract: PR-Nrl2-1, PR-Nrl2-2, PR-Nrl2-3 technical replicate - labeled-extract: PR-WT1-1, PR-WT1-2, PR-WT1-3 technical replicate - labeled-extract: PR-WT2-1, PR-WT2-2, PR-WT2-3 technical replicate - labeled-extract: PR-WTpool-1, PR-WTpool-2, PR-WTpool-3 technical replicate - labeled-extract: RPE-1, RPE-2, RPE-3

Project description:Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an irreversible and inherited retinopathy. RPGR mutations are the most common causes of this disease. It remains challenging to decipher the mechanism of RPGR mutation because of the lack of appropriate study models. The substitution of patient-specific diseased retina without ethical restrictions is desired and iPSC-derived 3D retina is the best choice. In our experiment, we generated iPSCs from one RP patient with 2-bp frameshift mutation in the exon14 of RPGR gene, which were differentiated into retinal organoids. Also we generated iPSCs from a normal control and differentiated those control-iPSCs into healthy retinal organoids. Samples of patient- and control-retinal organoids at W0, W7, W13 (two replicates), W18 (two replicates) and W22 (two replicates for patient) were collected for RNA-seq. Corrected-iPSC were derived from CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene correction. Then we collected the corrected-iPSC derived retinal organoids at W0, W7, W13 (two replicates), W18 (two replicates) and W22 (two replicates) for RNA-seq. Through the RNA-seq data, we demonstrate that patient-specific iPSC-dervied 3D retinae can recapitulate disease progress of Retinitis Pigmentosa through presenting defects in photoreceptors' gene profile. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene correction can rescue photoreceptor gene profile. Those transcriptome are consistent with the phenotype and function.

Project description:A small dose of the anti-HIV drug efavirenz (EFV) was previously discovered to activate CYP46A1, a cholesterol-eliminating enzyme in the brain, and mitigate some of the manifestation of Alzheimer’s disease in 5XFAD mice(a mouse model foe Alzheimers disease. Herein, we investigated the retina of these animals, which were found to have genetically determined retinal vascular lesions associated with deposits within the retinal pigment epithelium and sub retinal space.. Thus gain an unbiased insight into the processes in the retina that could be to affected by efavirenz treatment, the proteomic approach was used to compare the retinas of efavirenz -treated and control 5XFAD mice.
