A transparent PVA-based polymer sunscreen protects retinal tissue from ultraviolet damage

ABSTRACT: Ultraviolet (UV) light causes many eye diseases. Wearing sunglasses blocks <50% UV light from entering eyes. Skin sunscreens are banned for eye use due to irritation and safety concerns. Few sunscreens can be used in the eye to block UV light without compromising the eye functions. Herein, we modified poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), the active ingredient in commercial artificial tears, using naturally extracted aldehydes through Hantzsch’s reaction and obtained a PVA-syringaldehyde derivative that has a high sun protection factor (SPF 80), excellent UV resistance (>99%) and high transparency (84%) at 1 wt% in water, and a long half-life with little acute irritation and long-term safety when applied to female mouse eyes. Zebrafish protected by this polymer maintained healthy eye tissues and vision-guided behaviors after UV exposure. Polymer treatment on mice eyes effectively protected the retina from UV-induced damage, suggesting its potential as an eye sunscreen.

Pomacea canaliculata eye: a new system to study full camera-type eye regeneration [regeneration time-course]

Project description:Eyes are complex, delicate sensory organs that can be irreversibly damaged by disease or aging. Finding solutions to repair eyes has been difficult because no animal model has been available to study the complete regeneration of a camera-type eye. To study camera-type eye regeneration we can study partial or limited regeneration in vertebrates or complete regeneration of different types of eyes with simpler structure in animals with higher regenerative potential. I discovered an invertebrate organism, the freshwater apple snail Pomacea canaliculata, with camera-type eyes, yet capable of full regeneration after complete amputation. After cellular and molecular study of P. canaliculata eye and their regeneration dynamic, we developed tools to edit genes and test their functions. We found that, like in humans, eye development in these animals is controlled by the expression of the gene pax6. It is now possible to unravel the genetic basis of camera-type eye regeneration, which may provide new opportunities for therapeutic interventions. This work represents the foundation to use P. canaliculata as a valuable research system in the field of regeneration, not only to bring more knowledge about complex organs regeneration, but also to shed light, for the first time, on the process of complete camera-type eye regeneration.

Transcription profiling of chicken retinal gene expression during imposed myopic defocus

Project description:The retina plays an important regulatory role in ocular growth. To screen for new retinal candidate genes that could be involved in the inhibition of ocular growth, we used chick microarrays to analyze the changes in retinal mRNA expression after myopic defocus was imposed by positive lens-wear. Chicks were raised under a 12h-light/12h-dark cycle (light-onset: 8:00 am and light-offset: 8:00 pm) with unrestricted access to water and food. On the day prior to the experiment, velcro rings were glued to the feathers around the eye under diethylether anaesthesia. Four male white leghorn chicks, aged 9 days, wore +6.9D spectacle lenses over both eyes for 24 hours. Four untreated age-matched male chicks from the same batch served as controls. After decapitation of the chicks, the eyes were enucleated and the retina was prepared. The retinae from both eyes of each chick were pooled for RNA isolation. Experiment Overall Design: Four samples each: Retina of both eyes of +6.9 diopter lens-treated chicks (plus_lens), Retina of both eyes of untreated control chicks (control)

Chick myopia

Project description:One-day old white Leghorn chicks were housed in brooders with a 12 hr light:dark cycle, using General Electric chroma 50 fluorescent lighting with irradiance of approximately 50μW/cm2 at chick eye level. They received Purina Chick Chow food and water ad libitum. At one week of age and at the onset of the light phase, the chicks were anesthetized with inhalation ether, and a unilateral translucent white plastic goggle was glued to the periorbital feathers to induce ipsilateral form-deprivation myopia, alternating between the left or right eye. After either 6 hrs (n=8) or 3 days (n=8) of goggle wear, the chicks were killed by decapitation. The enucleated eyes were opened at the equator, and the retina/RPE was dissected together from both the goggled and control eyes. The tissues were individually frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen until processed Keywords: Gene expression

Transcription profiling of chicken with experimentally induced myopia

Project description:One-day old white Leghorn chicks were housed in brooders with a 12 hr light:dark cycle, using General Electric chroma 50 fluorescent lighting with irradiance of approximately 50Î¼W/cm2 at chick eye level. They received Purina Chick Chow food and water ad libitum. At one week of age and at the onset of the light phase, the chicks were anesthetized with inhalation ether, and a unilateral translucent white plastic goggle was glued to the periorbital feathers to induce ipsilateral form-deprivation myopia, alternating between the left or right eye. After either 6 hrs (n=8) or 3 days (n=8) of goggle wear, the chicks were killed by decapitation. The enucleated eyes were opened at the equator, and the retina/RPE was dissected together from both the goggled and control eyes. The tissues were individually frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen until processed Experiment Overall Design: Six biological replicates used for each: 3 day control retina, 3 day experimental, 6 hour control retina, and 6 hour experimental.

Effects of eye opening on gene expression in the superficial layers of the rat superior colliculus

Project description:We performed RNA-seq on six samples of P20 Sprague Dawley rat superior colliculus, three control rats that underwent eye opening at P14 until P20 and three deprived rats which had their eyes glued closed from P14 until P20. Each sample was created from two pooled colliculi. RNA-seq of the superior colliculus with and without long term light deprivation.

RNA-sequencing uncovers transcriptomic changes in retinal tissues after vitreous substitution with a thermogelling polymer

Project description:We developed a thermogelling polymer with intrinsic anti-scarring properties on retinal cells in-vitro. To study its mechanism of action in-vivo, this thermogelling polymer was injected into the rabbit eye as a vitreous substitute and the retinal tissues were harvested for RNA-sequencing to understand transcriptomic changes induced by the polymer.
