Project description:Genome-wide approach to identify the cell-autonomous role of Brg1 in lens fiber cell terminal differentiation. To examine roles of Brg1 in mouse lens development, a dnBrg1 transgenic construct was expressed using the lens-specific alphaA-crystallin promoter in postmitotic lens fiber cells. Morphological studies revealed abnormal lens fiber cell differentiation in transgenic lenses resulting in cataract. Electron microscopic studies showed abnormal lens suture formation and incomplete karyolysis (denucleation) of lens fiber cells. To identify genes regulated by Brg1, RNA expression profiling was performed in E15.5 embryonic wild type and dnBrg1 transgenic lenses. In addition, comparisons between differentially expressed genes in dnBrg1 transgenic, Pax6 heterozygous, and Hsf4 homozygous lenses identified multiple genes co-regulated by Brg1, Hsf4 and Pax6. Among them DNase IIbeta, a key enzyme required for lens fiber cell denucleation, was found downregulated in each of the Pax6, Brg1 and Hsf4 model systems. Lens-specific deletion of Brg1 using conditional gene targeting demonstrated that Brg1 was required for lens fiber cell differentiation and indirectly for retinal development but was not essential for lens lineage formation.

Project description:We performed ATAC-seq for microdissected lens epithelium and fiber from E14.5 and P0.5 mouse lenses.Through investigating dynamics of chromatin changes during mouse lens fiber and epithelium differentiation, we identified spatial-temporal differential accessible regions and the enriched known and novel motifs. We also discovered some novel and known enhancers for the transcription factors and structural genes that are important in lens development. Additionally, a cross examination of Pax6 ChIP-seq with ATAC-seq data revealed novel Pax6 binding mechanisms.

Project description:Epithelial cells and differentiated fiber cells represent distinct compartments in the ocular lens. While previous studies have revealed proteins that are preferentially expressed in epithelial vs. fiber cells, a comprehensive proteomics library comparing the molecular composition of epithelial vs. fiber cells is essential for understanding lens formation, function, disease and regenerative potential, and for efficient differentiation of pluripotent stem cells for modeling of lens development and pathology in vitro. To compare protein composition between the lens epithelium and fibers, we employed tandem mass spectrometry (2DLC/ MS) analysis of micro-dissected mouse P0.5 lenses. Functional classifications of the top 525 identified proteins into gene ontology categories by molecular process and subcellular localization, were adapted for lens. Expression levels of both epithelial and fiber proteomes were compared with their temporal and spatial mRNA levels using E14.5, E16.5, E18.5, and P0.5 RNA-Seq data sets. During this developmental time window, multiple complex biosynthetic and catabolic processes generate the molecular and structural foundation for lens transparency. As expected, crystallins showed a high correlation between their mRNA and protein levels. Comprehensive data analysis confirmed and/or predicted roles for transcription factors (TFs), RNA-binding proteins, translational apparatus including ribosomal heterogeneity and initiation factors, microtubules, cytoskeletal and membrane proteins in lens formation and maturation. Our data highlighted many proteins with unknown function in the lens that were preferentially enriched in epithelium or fibers, setting the stage for future studies to further dissect the roles of these proteins in fiber cell differentiation vs. epithelial cell maintenance. In conclusion, the present proteomic datasets established reference mouse lens epithelium and fiber cell proteomes, provided quantitative analyses of protein and RNA-Seq data, and probed the major proteome remodeling required to form the mature lens fiber cells.

Project description:Cellular differentiation is marked by temporally and spatially coordinated gene expression regulated at multiple levels within the nucleus. Sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor CTCF EDIT. Topologically associated domains (TADs). Using Hi-C, we investigated changes in chromatin organization between newborn (P0.5) mouse lens fiber and epithelium and compared them to embryonic stem (ES) cells. Compartments A and B. Using ChIP-seq, we determined localization of CTCF in both lens tissues Formation of lens-specific TADs is demonstrated via comparative studies of chromatin at Pax6, Prox1, Gata3, Hsf4, and crystallin loci (to be updated) between lens and ES cell nuclei. Our study has generated the first data on nuclear organization in lens epithelium and lens fibers and directly compared these data with ES cells.

Project description:The mammalian lens consists of an aged core of quiescent cells enveloped by a layers of mature fully elongated and younger, continuously elongating and transcriptionaly active cells. In the present study, we compared global gene expression profiles in elongating and mature, non-elongating fiber cells. The microarray-based comparison of gene expression profiles was performed using Agilent 22K Mouse Oligo microarrays with two rounds of RNA amplification from samples obtained by laser capture microdissection (LCM) of paraffin-embedded lens sections. Lenses were removed and immediately fixed using 4% paraformaldehide or methanol-based UMFIX reagent (Sakura Finetek USA, Inc.). To map the exact location of both elongating and maturing fibers on the lens slices, lenses were vibratome-sliced (Vibratome 1000, St. Louis, MO) as described previously and the GFP expression pattern was captured by confocal microscopy. For RNA extraction lens tissue was sliced into 5 micron-thick paraffin sections and microdissected using LCM (Leica Microsystems, Bannockburn, IL). The mid-saggital slices were used both for syncytium border measurements and for LCM. Control measurement (data not shown) confirmed that similar rates of shrinkage in paraformaldehyde- and UMFIX-fixed samples did not affect precision of LCM dissection. Fiber cell samples were dissected out of 5 micron-thick slices. In one experiment we typically processed about 40 slices, which was sufficient to collect the minimum of 200 zone-specific cells pooled from P5 littermate lenses. This sample size provided a reliable representation of RNA species in experimental procedure originally designed and tested for just 1-10 cells. Localization of the syncytium border characterized by the abrupt change of GFP labeling pattern was captured by confocal microscopy as described previously. In brief, GFP fluorescence was visualized using LSM510 instrument (Carl Zeiss, NY) equipped with an argon/krypton laser at 488 nm excitation and a 515-565 nm band pass emission filter. Physical parameters of the zones containing young and maturing fibers were measured in fixed lens slices using the morhphometric software provided by Zeiss. Lenses were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde/PBS and sectioned with a vibratome. Cells from elongating and maturing fiber regions were dissected out using the Leica DMLA laser capture microscope, (Leica Microsystems, Bannockburn, IL). The cut-out pieces containing captured cells were put directly into tubes containing the lysis buffer supplied in the Absolutely RNA® nanoprep kit (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA). Total RNA from the microdissected tissue sections was extracted and purified using the Absolutely RNA nanoprep kit according to the manufacturer's protocol. Caps briefly placed onto the section without laser activation were used as negative controls. Samples from several age-matched lenses were pooled together to obtain differentiation-specific samples for microarray analysis. Target RNA amplification and labeling with Cy-3 or Cy-5 dyes from CyDye Post Labelling Reactive Dye Pack (Amersham, USA) was carried out in two rounds using the Amino Allyl MessageAmp� aRNA Kit (Ambion, USA) as specified by the manufacturer. Quality and size distribution of the targets were determined by the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, USA). The Amino Allyl MessageAmp aRNA Kit is configured to incorporate the modified nucleotide, 5-(3-aminoallyl)-UTP (aaUTP) into the aRNA during in vitro transcription. Once purified and fragmented, the dye labeled aRNA was used for microarray hybridization. Labeled amplified RNA was hybridized to the 22K Mouse Oligo microarrays (Agilent Technologies)) according to the manufacturer's instructions. After hybridization microarrays were washed and scanned using GenePix 4000A (Axon Instruments,Inc.).

Project description:SPARC is a matricellular glycoprotein involved in regulation of the extracellular matrix, growth factors, adhesion, and migration. SPARC-null mice have altered basement membranes and develop posterior sub-capsular cataracts with cell swelling and equatorial vacuoles. Exchange of fluid, nutrients, and waste products in the avascular lens is driven by a unique circulating ion current. Here we demonstrate that SPARC-null mouse lenses exhibit abnormal circulation of fluid, ion, and small molecules which leads to altered fluorescein distribution in vivo, loss of resting membrane polarization, and altered distribution of small molecules. Microarray analysis of SPARC-null lenses showed changes in gene expression of ion channels and receptors, matrix and adhesion genes, cytoskeleton, immune response genes, and cell signaling molecules. Our results demonstrate that the regulation of SPARC on cell-capsular matrix interactions can influence the circulation of fluid and ions in the lens, and the phenotype in the SPARC-null mouse lens is the result of multiple intersecting pathways. Experiment Overall Design: Lens epithelial cells from 7 lenses of littermate mice were isolated by laser capture microdissection. 3 wild-type lenses from 3 different mice and 4 knock-out lenses from 3 different mice were used as biological replicates.
