Project description:To characterize the heterogeneity and cell clusters of postnatal lens epithelial cellsLens epithelial cells exhibit an intrinsic heterogeneity of different cell clusters in regulating lens homeostasis and lens growth. Upregulated Aqp1 in Cx50KO lens epithelial cells suggests that both connexin 50 and AQP1 likely play important roles in regulating water homeostasis in lens epithelial cells. (LECs) and to investigate the downstream targets of connexin 50 (Cx50) in the regulation of lens homeostasis and lens growth. To determine differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the connexin 50 knockout (Cx50KO) lens epithelial cells that shed light on novel mechanism underlying the cataract and small size of the Cx50KO lenses.

Project description: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.

Project description:Clinical observations suggest increased size of lens in highly myopic subjects compared with emmetropic subjects. The layer of anterior lens epithelial cell membrane, being the most metabolically active part of the lens, can be easily acquired during standard lens surgery and is an ideal sample to study the gene expression difference between lens of different populations. In this study, to investigate the possible molecular mechanisms underlying different features of lens between highly myopic and emmetropic subjects, gene expression profiling of lens epithelia of corresponding population was conducted.

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.

Project description:As an ageing population trend, age-related cataracts (ARC) continue to be the primary cause of reversible severe vision impairment and blindness worldwide, with an increasing incidence. The primary disease mechanism of ARC formation is metabolic abnormalities and oxidative stress mainly caused by increasing age. Additionally, ultraviolet B exposure, systematic disease factors (diabetes and hypertension), and lifestyle factors (smoking, drinking, and malnutrition) are the risk factors for ARC formation. Although surgical removal of the onset lens and replacement of the intraocular lens is currently the only effective treatment method with a high success rate and a high-cost fee, cataracts have so far lacked effective therapeutic drugs leading to a heavy burden on the patient's family and society. Therefore, we performed transcriptomic analysis of human lens and ARC to investigate the possible pathogenesis of lens opacification in ageing people.
