Project description:We identified lncRNA expression profiles in vitreous samples between proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients and idiopathic macular hole (IMH) patients, and between PDR patients who had received preoperative anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy and PDR patients who had received surgery alone. There had been the systemic expression differences in vitreous at the microarray level from PDR patients and IMH patients, and from PDR patients after anti-VEGF treatment and untreated PDR patients.

Project description:The development of diabetic retinopathy is well characterized on a histological level. Early vascular alterations involve the loss of pericytes. Earlier mechanisms leading to the phenotype of diabetic retinopathy, which involves the complete neurovascular unit, are not yet fully understood. The gene expression data presented here is derived from microarrays and gives further insights into early genetic regulation in incipient diabetic retinopathy.

Project description:Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is a vision-threatening disorder characterized by the formation of cicatricial fibrovascular membranes leading to traction retinal detachment. Despite the recent advance in the treatment of PDR such as vitreoretinal surgery with use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drug as an adjunct, it still remains vision-threatening disease. In order to identify genes associated with the pathogenesis of PDR, we performed gene expression analyses in fibrovascular membrane in patients with PDR using DNA microarray technology.

Project description:Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is the advanced stage of diabetic retinopathy (DR), coupling with irregular neovascularization, and is the leading cause of blindness in working-age people; but the molecular mechanism of vascular differentiation in PDR remains poorly characterized. In our study, we obtained the transcriptome profile of neovascular proliferative membrane specimens from patients with PDR via high-throughput sequencing and advanced bioinformatics. Marker genes of neovascularization were validated and distinct gene expression patterns were formed of PDR compared with normal retina. We also discovered gene sets that were co-expressed with vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), including transcription factors (TFs) that dysregulate VEGFA. In particular, ETS transcription factors family could negatively regulate VEGFA. We also detected a set of genes related to PDR was dramatically changed from pre-mRNA to mature mRNA. In summary, our study firstly presented the profile of neovascular proliferative membrane and identified new marker genes and key regulators of VEGFA, which could contribute the molecular therapy of PDR in the future.

Project description:Endothelial cells (EC) play essential roles in retinal vascular homeostasis. This study aimed to characterize retinal EC heterogeneity and functional diversity using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Systematic analysis of cellular compositions and cell-cell interaction networks identified a unique EC cluster with high inflammatory gene expression in the diabetic retina; sphingolipid metabolism in this cluster is a prominent aspect correlated with changes in retinal function. Among the sphingolipid-related genes, alkaline ceramidase 2 (ACER2) showed the most significant increase. We collected plasma and vitreous samples from patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and PDR for mass spectrometry analysis. Metabolomic profiling revealed that the ceramide levels were significantly elevated in NPDR and further increased in PDR compared with control patients. In vitro analyses showed that the ACER2 overexpression retarded endothelial barrier breakdown induced by ceramide, while silencing of ACER2 further disrupted the injury. Moreover, intravitreal injection of the recombinant ACER2 adeno-associated virus rescued diabetes-induced vessel leakiness, inflammatory response, and neurovascular disease in diabetic mouse models. Together, this study revealed a new diabetes-specific retinal EC population and a negative feedback regulation pathway that reduces ceramide content and endothelial dysfunction by upregulating ACER2 expression. These findings provide insights into cell-type targeted interventions for diabetic retinopathy.

Project description:Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disorder of the developing retina of preterm infants. ROP can lead to blindness due to abnormal angiogenesis that is the result of suspended vascular development and vaso-obliteration leading to severe retinal stress and hypoxia. We tested the hypothesis that a combined treatment with two human progenitor populations, the CD34+ cells, bone marrow-derived, and the endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) synergistically protected the developing retinal vasculature in a murine model of ROP, the oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR)., CD34+ cells alone, ECFCs alone, or a combination thereof were injected intravitreally at either P5 or P12 and pups were euthanized at P17. Retinas from OIR mice injected with ECFCs or the combined treatment revealed formation of the deep vascular plexus (DVP) while still in hyperoxia, with normal appearing connections between the superficial vascular plexus (SVP) and the DVP. The combination therapy prevented aberrant retinal neovascularization and was more effective anatomically and functionally at rescuing the ischemia phenotype than either cell type alone. The beneficial effect of the cell combination was the result of their ability to orchestrate an acceleration of vascular development and more rapid ensheathment of pericytes on the developing vessels.

Project description:Pericytes confer vascular stability in the retina, and the loss of pericytes can cause the blood-retina barrier breakdown seen in diabetic retinopathy. To identify endothelial-specific genes expressed in pericyte-deprived retinal vessels, we purified genetically labeled endothelial cells from Tie2-GFP transgenic mice treated with neutralizing antibody against PDGFRb (APB5) and performed gene expression profiling using DNA microarray. To find out endothelial-specific genes associated with the loss of pericyte coverage, the comparison of microarray data was carried out between retinal endothelial cells (data from GSE27238) and APB5-treated retinal endothelial cells.

Despite the recent advance in the treatment of PDR such as vitreoretinal surgery with use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drug as an adjunct, it still remains vision-threatening disease. In order to identify genes associated with the pathogenesis of PDR, we performed gene expression analyses in fibrovascular membrane in patients with PDR using DNA microarray technology. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Kyushu University Hospital and Fukuoka University Chikushi Hospital, and the surgical specimens were handled in accordance with the ethical standards of the 1989 Declaration of Helsinki. All patients gave informed consent before inclusion in the study. Fibrovascular membranes (FVMs) were surgically dissected from the retinal surface with horizontal scissors of patients with PDR undergoing pars plana vitrectomy. These specimens were classified into active and inactive according to the clinical findings of neovascularization (NV) in the FVMs.Total RNA were extracted from the FVMs. RNA from human retina was obtained from Clontech (Palo Alto, CA).

Project description:Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major complication of diabetes mellitus causing significant vision loss. Despite the success of anti-VEGF therapy as an effective therapy, many DR patients do not respond well to the treatment, emphasizing the involvement of other molecular players. To unveil these, we performed deep vitreous proteome profiling of patients with proliferative DR and extracted aberrated protein networks. This revealed impairment in ectodomain shedding of several transmembrane proteins playing critical roles in neurodegeneration and angiogenesis, that pointed to defects in their regulating sheddases, particularly ADAM10, which emerged as the predominant sheddase. We confirmed that ADAM10 protease activity was reduced in ocular disease models and established that activation of ADAM10 can suppress endothelial cell activation and angiogenesis. Furthermore, we identified impaired ADAM10-AXL axis as a retinal angiogenic driver. Taken together, we demonstrate restoration of aberrant ectodomain shedding as an effective strategy for treating DR and propose ADAM10 as an attractive novel target.

Project description:Different inbred strains of rats differ in their susceptibility to OIR, an animal model of human retinopathy of prematurity. We examined gene expression profiles in Fischer 344 (F344, resistant to OIR) and Sprague Dawley (SD, susceptible to OIR) rats at the early time point of day 3 to identifying gene pathways related to the underlying genetic cause of phenotypic differences between strains.
