Chromatin remodeling enzyme Brg1 is required for mouse lens fiber cell terminal differentiation and their denucleation [lens tissue]

ABSTRACT: 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.

HSF4 microarray gene expression analysis in the newborn mouse lens.

Project description:Differential expression of HSF4 in null newborn mouse and wildtype lenses was examined to identify putative downstream targets of HSF4. To examine roles of Brg1 in mouse lens development, a dnBrg1 transgenic construct was expressed using the lens-specific aA-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.

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 IIb, 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.

Nuclear Organization of Lens Epithelium and Fiber Cells in Newborn Lens

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.

Transcription profiling of mouse lens from wild-type and transgenic strain ectopically expressing Foxe3

Project description:The vertebrate ocular lens consists of two basic cell types: the lens fibers, highly specialized cells that make up the bulk of the lens and are the basis for its unique optical characteristics, and the epithelial cells that cover the anterior hemisphere and acts as a stem cell population for progenitors of new fibers. The forkhead transcription factor FoxE3 is essential for maintenance, proliferation and survival of the epithelial cells, and silencing of the FoxE3 gene coincides with the cell cycle arrest that marks initiation of fiber cell differentiation. Here we have used transgenic ectopic expression of murine Foxe3 in fiber cells to investigate the consequences of persistent Foxe3 expression during fiber differentiation. Microarray transcript profiling showed that ectopic Foxe3 caused a general increase in mRNAs which are normally enriched in epithelial cells, consistent with an epithelialization of the transgenic fibers. Experiment Overall Design: Whole lenses from P2 animals were dissected and genotyped. 12 lenses from each genotype were used for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix arrays. Total of 3 replicates/genotype.

Conditional ablation of the Notch2 receptor in the ocular lens

Project description:Notch signaling is essential for proper lens development, however the specific requirements of individual Notch receptors has not been previously investigated. Here we report the lens phenotypes of Notch2 conditionally mutant mice, which exhibited severe microphthalmia, reduced pupillary openings, disrupted fiber cell morphology, eventual loss of the anterior epithelium, fiber cell dysgenesis, and cataracts. Notch2 mutants also had a persistent lens stalk phenotype at E11.5, and aberrant DNA synthesis in the fiber cell compartment by E14.5. Gene expression analyses showed elevated levels of the cell cycle regulators Cdkn1a (p21Cip1), Ccnd2 (CyclinD2) and Trp63 (p63) that negatively regulates Wnt signaling. Although removal of Notch2 phenocopied the increased proportion of fiber cells of Rbpj and Jag1 conditional mutant lenses, Notch2 is not required for AEL proliferation, suggesting that a different receptor regulates this process. Instead, we found that the Notch2 normally blocks progenitor cell death. Overall, we conclude that Notch2-mediated signaling regulates lens morphogenesis, apoptosis, cell cycle withdrawal, and secondary fiber cell differentiation. We have compared gene expression of ocular lenses of mice that are lens specific conditional mutants of Notch2 gene to that of littermate controls that had no ablation of Notch2 gene in the lens. Two lenses of each of the three conditional mutants and controls were pooled together and total RNA was harvested from embryonic day 19.5 (E19.5) lenses. Gene expression changes caused by absence of Notch2 gene in the lens were analyzed.
