Project description:<p>Proper spatial differentiation of retinal cell types is necessary for normal human vision. Many retinal diseases, such as Best disease and male germ cell associated kinase (MAK)-associated retinitis pigmentosa, preferentially affect distinct topographic regions of the retina. While much is known about the distribution of cell types in the retina, the distribution of molecular components across the posterior pole of the eye has not been well-studied. To investigate regional difference in molecular composition of ocular tissues, we assessed differential gene expression across the temporal, macular, and nasal retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/choroid of human eyes using RNA-Seq. RNA from temporal, macular, and nasal retina and RPE/choroid from four human donor eyes was extracted, poly-A selected, fragmented, and sequenced as 100 bp read pairs. Digital read files were mapped to the human genome and analyzed for differential expression using the Tuxedo software suite. Retina and RPE/choroid samples were clearly distinguishable at the transcriptome level. Numerous transcription factors were differentially expressed between regions of the retina and RPE/choroid. Photoreceptor-specific genes were enriched in the peripheral samples, while ganglion cell and amacrine cell genes were enriched in the macula. Within the RPE/choroid, RPE-specific genes were upregulated at the periphery while endothelium associated genes were upregulated in the macula. Consistent with previous studies, BEST1 expression was lower in macular than extramacular regions. The MAK gene was expressed at lower levels in macula than in extramacular regions, but did not exhibit a significant difference between nasal and temporal retina. The regional molecular distinction is greatest between macula and periphery and decreases between different peripheral regions within a tissue. Datasets such as these can be used to prioritize candidate genes for possible involvement in retinal diseases with regional phenotypes. </p> <p>Reprinted from <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=25446321">Whitmore, S.S., Wagner, A.H., DeLuca, A.P., Drack, A.V., Stone, E.M., Tucker, B.A., Zeng, S., Braun, T.A., Mullins, R.F., Scheetz, T.E., 2014.

Project description:Müller cells are the primary glia of the neural retina and play crucial roles in maintaining the structural and functional homeostasis of the retina. Müller cells also possess certain levels of retinal regeneration capacity, especially in lower vertebrates. In this study, we deep sequenced the transcriptomes and methylomes of mouse Müller cells and early retinal progenitor cells (RPCs), as well as Müller cells from injured retinas and aged retinas, which will help to reveal molecular mechanisms governing Müller cells development, physiological functions and regeneration activities.

Project description:Microarray analysis on total retinal RNA from 15 day old Sirt6 wild-type (WT) and knock-out (KO) mice. The retina is one of the major energy consuming tissues within the body. In this context, synaptic transmission between light-excited rod photoreceptors and downstream ON-bipolar neurons is a highly demanding energy consuming process. Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), a NAD-dependent deacylase, plays a key role in regulating glucose metabolism. In this study, we demonstrate that SIRT6 is highly expressed in the retina, controlling levels of histone H3K9 and H3K56 acetylation. Notably, despite apparent normal histology, SIRT6 deficiency caused major retinal transmission defects concomitant to changes in expression of glycolytic genes and glutamate receptors, as well as elevated levels of apoptosis in inner retina cells. Our results identify SIRT6 as a critical modulator of retinal function, likely through its effects on chromatin.

Project description:Bhlhe23 is a transcription factor that is required for the maturation and survival of retinal rod bipolar cells in mice. In the Bhlhe23-/- retina, rod bipolar cells are born in normal numbers, then die by apoptosis from postnatal day 8. We identified genes that were likely to be important to rod bipolar cell development and survival by identifying genes that were significantly differentially expressed in the transcriptome of the Bhlhe23-/- mouse retina compared with wild type retina at postnatal day 7. just before the onset of rob bipolar cell death.

Project description:Chronic ocular inflammation is associated with many retinal degenerative diseases that result in vision loss. The immune-privileged environment and complex organization of retinal tissue allow for the retina’s essential role in visual function processes, yet confound inquiries into cell-specific inflammatory effects that lead to retinal dysfunction and degeneration. Caveolin-1 (Cav1) is an integral membrane protein expressed in many retinal cell populations and has been implicated in retinal immune regulation. However, the direction (i.e., promotion or inhibition) in which Cav1 regulates inflammatory processes in the retina (as well as in other tissues) remains unclear. Previously, we showed that global-Cav1 depletion in the retina paradoxically resulted in reduced retinal inflammatory cytokine production with concurrent elevated retinal immune cell infiltration. We hypothesized that our previous results could be explained by cell-specific Cav1 functions in the retina. Here, we utilized our Chx10 (visual system homeobox 2)-Cre knockout model to deplete Cav1 specifically in the neural retinal (NR) compartment in order to clarify the role of neural retinal-specific Cav1 (NR-Cav1) in the retinal immune response to intravitreal LPS (lipopolysaccharide) challenge. Our data support that neural retinal-derived Cav1 promotes retinal tissue inflammation as Chx10-mediated Cav1 depletion was sufficient to suppress both retinal cytokine production and immune cell infiltration following inflammatory stimulation. Additionally, we identify Traf3 (tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor 3) as a highly expressed potential immune modulator in retinal tissue that is upregulated with NR-Cav1 depletion. Furthermore, this study highlights the importance for understanding the role of Cav1 (and other proteins) in cell-specific contexts.

Project description:The chicken embryo (Gallus gallus) is a classic model system for studying developmental biology. During chick development, embryonic day 8 (E8) retina are packed with multipotent neuronal precursors on the cusp of differentiation into all retinal cell types. By E18 the retina is nearly fully mature with all major retinal cell types differentiated and expressing cell type-specific genes. Whole retina were harvested from embryonic day 8 (E8), E16, and E18 developing chicken embryos. Whole cornea were also collected from E18 embryos as a reference tissue. Duplicates were obtained for each time point and total RNA was extracted from samples using a Qiagen AllPrep Mini Kit. To characterize differential gene expression in these tissues, Illumina stranded TrueSeq RNA-Seq libraries were prepared from total RNA and 125 PE sequencing reads were obtained. These data will be used to characterize retina-specific patters of gene expression as well as global changes in gene expression between critical developmental time points in the chicken retina.

Project description:Generation of three-dimensional (3D) organoids with optic cup like structures from pluripotent stem cells has created opportunities for investigating mammalian retinal development in vitro. However, retinal organoids in culture do not completely reflect the developmental state and in vivo architecture of the rod-dominant mouse retina. To assess rod photoreceptor differentiation in retinal organoids, we took advantage of Nrl-GFP mice that show rod-specific expression of GFP directed by the promoter of leucine zipper transcription factor NRL. Using embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells (ESCs and iPSCs, respectively) derived from the Nrl-GFP mouse, we were successful in establishing long-term retinal organoid cultures (up to day 35) using modified culture conditions (called High Efficiency Hypoxia Induced Generation of Photoreceptors in Retinal Organoids, or HIPRO). We demonstrate efficient differentiation of pluripotent stem cells to retinal structures, with over 70% of embryoid bodies forming optic vesicles at Day (D)7, >50% producing optic cups by D10, and a majority of these surviving until at least D35. The HIPRO organoids include distinct inner retina neurons in somewhat stratified architecture and mature Müller glia spanning the entire retina. Almost 70% of the cells in retinal organoids are rod photoreceptors that exhibit elongated cilia. Transcriptome profiles of GFP+ rod photoreceptors, purified from organoids at Day 25-35, demonstrate a high correlation to gene profiles of purified rods from mouse retina at postnatal day (P) 2 to 6, indicating their early state of differentiation. Our 3D retinal organoids thus closely mimic in vivo retinogenesis and provide an efficient in vitro model to investigate photoreceptor development and modeling disease pathology.
