Unveiling the Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Diabetic Retinopathy with Human Retinal Organoids

ABSTRACT: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision impairment worldwide, driven by chronic hyperglycaemia and its complex metabolic consequences. While animal models have been widely used to study DR, they often fail to replicate human retinal physiology. To address this limitation, we utilized human retinal organoids as a model to investigate hyperglycaemia-induced changes, focusing on late-stage organoids (D150+28), where we performed next-generation sequencing (NGS). Transcriptomic analysis revealed significant disruptions in photoreceptor maturation, with a marked downregulation of genes associated with phototransduction and sensory perception. Oxidative stress-related pathways were upregulated, suggesting an enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) response. While photoreceptors were particularly vulnerable to hyperglycaemia, other retinal cell types, including bipolar cells, ganglion cells, and Müller glia, exhibited greater resilience. Additionally, glial activation, evidenced by increased expression of astrocyte markers (CD44, GFAP, TGFBR2), suggested a reactive gliosis response.

Extracellular vesicles of human diabetic retinopathy retinal tissue and urine of diabetic retinopathy patients analyzed using mass spectrometry

Project description:Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a potentially blinding retinal disorder which develops through the pathogenesis of diabetes. Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) provide a novel biomarker for pre-symptomatic disease diagnosis and prognosis. Proteomic analysis was performed on explanted DR retinal tissue, DR retinal EVs and DR urinary EVs. DR samples were compared to normal retinal tissue, retinal EVs and urinary EVs, respectively

[E-MEXP-3786] IGF-I-induced chronic gliosis and retinal stress lead to neurodegeneration in an animal model of retinopathy

Project description:Transcription profiling by array of mouse male retinas to investigate IGF-I-induced chronic gliosis and retinal stress IGF-I exert multiple effects in different retinal cell populations in both physiological and pathological conditions. Transgenic mice overexpressing IGF-I in the retina showed impaired electroretinographic responses at 6-7 months of age that worsen with age. This retinal neuronal dysfunction was correlated with the loss of rod photoreceptors, bipolar, ganglion and amacrines cells. Neuronal alterations were preceded by the overexpression of retinal stress markers, acute phase proteins and gliosis-related genes. IGF-I overexpression leads to chronic gliosis and microgliosis in TgIGF-I retinas, with mild oxidative stress, impaired recycling of glutamate and defective potassium buffering. These impaired supportive functions can contribute to neurodegeneration in TgIGF-I retinas, together with the increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, potential mediators of neuronal death. 3 transgenic and 3 wild type biological replicates examined.

scRNAseq comparison of iPSC-derived retinal organoids from Control and LCA7 patients

Project description:To comprehensively capture changes in retinal transcriptome for the LCA7 organoids compared to control, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) using the 10X Genomics platform. Retinal organoids at D150 of differentiation were dissociated for scRNAseq analysis. scRNAseq data revealed significant dysregulation of specific photoreceptor genes between control and LCA7 organoids, as well as mutation-specific differences in various genes, including CRX, RCVRN, ARR3, and AIPL1.

Brillouin Microscopic Assessment of Retinal Stiffness During Reactive Müller Gliosis

Project description:Increased retinal stiffness can indicate reactive gliosis, fibrosis, or ECM remodeling – all hallmarks of early retinal damage due to diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. Here, we demonstrate that Brillouin microscopy can detect increased stiffness within the damaged mouse retina coincident with reactive Müller gliosis.

In-depth transcriptomic analyses investigating molecular mechanisms underlying diabetic retinopathy (smallRNA)

Project description:Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is among the major global causes for vision loss. With the rise in diabetes prevalence, an increase in DR incidence is expected. Current understanding of both the molecular etiology and pathways involved in the initiation and progression of DR is limited. Here we analyzed mRNA and miRNA expression profiles of 80 human post-mortem retinal samples from 80 patients diagnosed with various stages of DR. We found differentially expressed transcripts to be predominantly associated with late stage DR and pathways such as hippo and gap junction signaling. A multivariate regression model identified transcripts with progressive changes throughout disease stages, which in turn displayed significant overlap with sphingolipid and cGMP−PKG signaling. Combined analysis of miRNA and mRNA expression further uncovered disease-relevant miRNA/mRNA associations as potential mechanisms of post-transcriptional regulation. Finally, integrating human retinal single cell RNA-Sequencing data revealed a continuous loss of retinal ganglion cells, and Müller cell mediated changes in histidine and β-alanine signaling. Our findings offer an unprecedented insight into the development of DR and provide potential avenues for future therapeutic intervention.

Single-cell RNA Sequencing of rats in early diabetic retinopathy

Project description:In diabetic retinopathy (DR), a blinding disease, retinal microglia-induced inflammatory responses precede microangiopathy. However, the binary concept of microglial M1/M2 polarization paradigms during inflammatory activation has been debated. In this study, we confirmed microglia had the most significant changes in early DR using single-cell RNA sequencing. Besides, at cellular level three new microglial subtypes were defined, including two M1 types (Egr2+ M1 and Egr2- M1) and one M2 type. We also revealed the anatomical locations, different activation orders, mutual activation regulation mechanisms and dynamic changes in polarization phenotypes between these subtypes. Furthermore, we constructed an inflammatory network involving microglia, blood-derived macrophages and other retinal nonneuronal cells. The targeted study of new disease-specific microglial subtypes can shorten the time for drug screening and clinical application, which provided insight for the early control and reversal of DR.
