Expression profiling of wildtype mouse cornea in development, adult, and aging

ABSTRACT: While the mouse cornea has been well characterized morphologically, the transcriptional changes have not been described in detail. To characterize the genes, pathways, and transcriptional regulators involved in mouse cornea development and aging, we isolated whole cornea from wildtype CB6 mice at several developmental timepoints and every 6 months in the adult. Corneal epithelium and stroma were isolated at one timepoint to provide insights into the genes that are unique to each tissue.

To characterize the genes, pathways, and transcriptional regulators involved in mouse cornea development and aging, we isolated whole cornea from wildtype CB6 mice at several developmental timepoints and every 6 months in the adult. Corneal epithelium and stroma were isolated at one timepoint to provide insights into the genes that are unique to each tissue. Total RNA was purified from whole mouse cornea at 12 time points over the life of the mouse and from corneal epithelium and stroma at a single timepoint.

Genome-Wide Binding of Ehf in mouse corneal epithelium

Project description:The cornea, composed of epithelium, stroma and endothelium, protects the anterior compartment of the eye from damage and allows transmission of light into the eye. While well described morphologically, no studies have investigated the global gene expression changes in the cornea throughout the mouseM-bM-^@M-^Ys life. We characterized the global gene expression profile of mouse cornea from early development through aging, and compared to gene expression in other epithelial tissue, to identify cornea enriched genes, pathways, and transcriptional regulators. We identified Ehf, an ets family transcription factor, as being highly selectively expressed in the corneal epithelium compared to the stroma, and highly expressed in cornea compared to other epithelial tissues. siRNA experiments and Ehf ChIP-Seq on mouse corneal epithelium confirm the role of this factor in promoting epithelial identity and cell differentiation, and suggest it carries out these functions through interactions with other cornea epithelial differentiation factors including Klf4. Whole eye globes were dissected from wild type CB6 mice. Corneal epithelium was isolated by digestion in 50% EMEM/dispase II with 50 mM sorbitol for two hours at 37M-BM-0C. ChIP was performed with an Ehf antibody, and was sequenced with an input control.

Single cell RNA-seq of human cornea organoids identifies cell fates of a developing immature cornea

Project description:The cornea is a protective and refractive barrier in the eye crucial for vision. Understanding the human cornea in health, disease and cell-based treatments can be greatly advanced with cornea organoids developed in culture from induced pluripotent stem cells. While a limited number of studies have investigated the single-cell transcriptomic composition of the human cornea, its organoids have not been examined similarly. Here we elucidated the transcriptomic cell fate map of 4-month-old human cornea organoids and human donor corneas. The organoids harbor cell clusters that resemble cells of the corneal epithelium, stroma and endothelium with sub-populations that capture signatures of early developmental states. Unlike the adult cornea where the largest cell population is stromal, the organoids contain large proportions of epithelial and endothelial-like cells. These corneal organoids offer a three-dimensional model to study corneal diseases and integrated responses of different cell types.

Project description:The cornea, composed of epithelium, stroma and endothelium, protects the anterior compartment of the eye from damage and allows transmission of light into the eye. While well described morphologically, no studies have investigated the global gene expression changes in the cornea throughout the mouse’s life.

RNA seq analysis of the mouse pNC and Cornea transcriptome

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to provide a detailed transcriptome expression profile of the mouse cornea and evaluate changes in gene expression during mouse corneal development. Methods: RNA-sequencing is used to profile the mouse transcriptome in the pNC isolated at E10.5 and corneas isolated at E14.5 and E16.5. Samples generated in triplicate for sequencing by Illumina Hiseq 4000. Clean reads are mapped to reference gene and GRCm38 by Bowtie2 and HISAT. Spatiotemporal expression patterns of select genes were validaed by in situ hybrdization. Results: Analysis of the whole transcriptome profile between pNC and embryonic corneas identified 3815 unique differentially expressed genes. Pathway analysis revealed enrichment of differentially expressed genes involved in signal transduction (RA, TGFβ, and Wnt pathways) and transcriptional regulation. Conclusions: Our study for the first time, identifies differential gene expression across progressive stages of mouse corneal development and provides a comprehensive transcriptomic profile of the developing cornea. This serves as a valuable resource for the identification of novel regulatory networks crucial for the advancement of studies in congential defects, stem cell therapy, bioengineering, and adult corneal diseases.

Differential microRNA expressions during development of mouse cornea

Project description:Expression of microRNAs (miRNA) was examined in the wild type mouse cornea at postnatal day 9 (PN9) before stratification of the corneal epithelium and at 6 weeks of age when the epithelium is fully stratified. Using Sanger miRBase Version 10.0, we analysed 568 miRNAs across 4 biological replicates of the developing (PN9) and mature (6-week-old) mouse cornea.

Mus musculus cornea experiment

Project description:PURPOSE: To provide a detailed gene expression profile of the normal postnatal mouse cornea. METHODS: Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) was performed on postnatal day (PN)9 and adult mouse (6 week) total corneas. The expression of selected genes was analyzed by in situ hybridization. RESULTS: A total of 64,272 PN9 and 62,206 adult tags were sequenced. Mouse corneal transcriptomes are composed of at least 19,544 and 18,509 unique mRNAs, respectively. One third of the unique tags were expressed at both stages, whereas a third was identified exclusively in PN9 or adult corneas. Three hundred thirty-four PN9 and 339 adult tags were enriched more than fivefold over other published nonocular libraries. Abundant transcripts were associated with metabolic functions, redox activities, and barrier integrity. Three members of the Ly-6/uPAR family whose functions are unknown in the cornea constitute more than 1% of the total mRNA. Aquaporin 5, epithelial membrane protein and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) omega-1, and GST alpha-4 mRNAs were preferentially expressed in distinct corneal epithelial layers, providing new markers for stratification. More than 200 tags were differentially expressed, of which 25 mediate transcription. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to providing a detailed profile of expressed genes in the PN9 and mature mouse cornea, the present SAGE data demonstrate dynamic changes in gene expression after eye opening and provide new probes for exploring corneal epithelial cell stratification, development, and function and for exploring the intricate relationship between programmed and environmentally induced gene expression in the cornea.
