Project description:Retinal degenerative diseases are some of the leading causes of blindness with few treatments. Various cell-based therapies have aimed to slow the progression of vision loss by preserving light-sensing photoreceptor cells. A subretinal injection of human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) into the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rat model of retinal degeneration has aided in photoreceptor survival, though the mechanisms are mainly unknown. Identifying the retinal proteomic changes that occur following hNPC treatment will lead to better understanding of neuroprotection. To mimic the retinal environment following hNPC injection, a co-culture system of retinas and hNPCs was developed. Less cell death occurred in RCS retinal tissue co-cultured with hNPCs than in retinas cultured alone, suggesting that hNPCs provide retinal protection in vitro. Comparison of ex vivo and in vivo retinas identified NRF2-mediated oxidative response signaling as an hNPC-induced pathway. This is the first study to compare proteomic changes following treatment with hNPCs in both an ex vivo and in vivo environment, further allowing the use of ex vivo modeling for mechanisms of retinal preservation. Elucidation of the protein changes in the retina following hNPC treatment may lead to the discovery of mechanisms of photoreceptor survival and its therapeutic for clinical applications.

Project description:Photoreceptor disorders are collectively known as retinal degeneration (RD), and include retinitis pigmentosa (RP), cone-rod dystrophy and age related macular degeneration (AMD). These disorders are largely genetic in origin; individual mutations in any one of >200 genes cause RD, making mutation specific therapies prohibitively expensive. A better treatment plan, particularly for late stage disease, may involve stem cell transplants into the photoreceptor or ganglion cell layers of the retina. Stem cells from young mouse retinas can be transplanted, and can form photoreceptors in adult retinas. These cells can be grown in tissue culture, but can no longer form photoreceptors. We have used microarrays to investigate differences in gene expression between cultured retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) that have lost photoreceptor potential, postnatal day 1 (pn1) retinas and the postnatal day 5 (pn5) retinas that contain transplantable photoreceptors. We have also compared FACS sorted Rho-eGFP expressing rod photoreceptors from pn5 retinas with Rho-eGFP negative cells from the same retinas. We have identified over 300 genes upregulated in rod photoreceptor development in multiple comparisons, 37 of which have been previously identified as causative of retinal disease when mutated. It is anticipated that this research should bring us closer to growing photoreceptors in culture and therefore better treatments for RD. This dataset is also a resource for those seeking to identify novel retinopathy genes in RD patients. We extracted whole retinas from postnatal day 1 (Pn1) and postnatal day 5 (Pn5) mice, and compared them with cultured RPCs derived from pn5 retinas, using Affymetrix mouse 430A_2 arrays. We also extracted cells from Rho-eGFP Pn5 retinas and FACS sorted them. GFP+ve cells represent immature rod photoreceptors, as they express the Rho-eGFP fusion protein, which is only expressed in rods. GFP-ve cells represent all other retinal neurons. These samples were amplified and compared using Affymetrix mouse 430A_2arrays, by Source Biosciences GMBH, Berlin, Germany. Results from immature rods were then compared with those from other retinal neurons, while results from whole Pn5 retinas were compared with Pn1 retinas (which don't yet express rod specific genes), and RPCs, which are glial precursors. RPCs were also compared with Pn1 retinas. Genes which showed changed expression profiles in at least 3/4 of comparisons were prioritised for further investigation.

Project description:retinal ganglion cells die after optic nerve injury, either crush or transection. The molecular causesunderlying this degeneration are largely unkwon; the purpose of this job is to find which (if any) gene regulation triggers RGC death with the final goal of design neuroprotective protocols Experiment Overall Design: 3 groups: naive, IONT (intraorbital nerve transection) IONC (intraorbital nerve crush). IONT and IONC lesioned animals were kept the appropriate times postlesion (12h,. 24h, 48h, 3d, 7d, and 15d). For each time point 8-12 animals were used. RNA from 4 animals was pooled and extracted to hybridaze 1 array replica. All replicas were pooled biological replicas: 5 for naive RNA (each replica 4 retinas, therefore 5 independent RNA extractions were done with a total of 20 retinas), IONT: 12h 3 replicas, 24h 2 replicas, 48h 3replicas, 3d 2 replicas, 7d 3 replicas, 15d 2 replicas. IONC: 3 replicas per time point: 12h, 24h, 48h, 3d and 7d)

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of 3D-retinas differentiated from mouse iPS cells comparing vehicle control- with 4-OHT-treated. 4-OHT is an inverse agonist of estrogen-related receptor beta (ERRβ), a rod-enriched transcription factor responsible for maintenance of rod photoreceptor cells and the treatment induces photoreceptor specific cell death in the 3D-retinas. Goal was to understand the mechanism of 4-OHT-induced degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the 3D-retinas. 4-OHT-induced gene expression in the 3D-retinas was measured at DD 26 when the photoreceptor cells were degenerated. Two-condition experiment, vehicle control- vs. 5 µM 4-OHT-treated 3D-retinas. Biological replicates: each sample has 24 3D-retinas and 1 replicate.

Project description:In order to gain insight into epithelial morphogenesis and the influence of culture geometry on gene expression patterns, Madin Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells where grown in 2-dimensional (2D) culture or 3-dimensional (3D) culture . MDCK cells cultured in 2D were plated atop a pre-solidified type I collagen gel. Cells cultured under these conditions grew as flat monolayer sheets. In 3D culture, cells are embedded within type I collagen gel. Cells grown under these conditions form large spherical cysts with hollow central lumens. We anticipate, therefore, that these results provide insight into the mechanisms that regulate epithelial cystogenesis.

The 2D MDCK cells were treated as the control condition and there gene expression patterns were compared to those of 3D grown cells, which served as the experimental condition.

Project description:Vision depends on the functional interplay between the photoreceptor cells of the neural retina and the supporting cells of the underlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Many genes involved in inherited retinal diseases (IRD) display highly specific spatiotemporal expression within these interconnected retinal components through the local recruitment of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) in 3D nuclear space. To understand the role of differential chromatin architecture in establishing tissue-specific expression patterns at IRD loci in the human neural retina and the RPE, we mapped genome-wide chromatin interactions by applying in situ Hi-C and H3K4me3 HiChIP to human adult post-mortem donor retinas. A comparative 3D genome analysis between neural retina and RPE revealed that almost 60% of known IRD genes were marked by differential cis-regulatory interactions or 3D genome structure. Furthermore, we zoomed in on tissue-specific chromatin interactions at the ABCA4 locus, which is implicated in the most common autosomal recessive IRD. We constructed high-resolution ABCA4 interaction profiles using UMI-4C, which, upon integration with bulk and single-cell epigenomic datasets and in vivo enhancer assays in zebrafish, revealed tissue-specific CREs for ABCA4. In summary, through extensive comparative 3D genome mapping, based on genome-wide (Hi-C), promoter-centric (HiChIP) and locus-specific (UMI-4C) assays of human neural retina and RPE, we have shown that gene regulation at key IRD loci is likely mediated by tissue-specific chromatin interactions. These findings do not only provide insight into tissue-specific regulatory landscapes at retinal disease loci, but also delineate the search space for genomic variation underlying unsolved IRD.
