Project description:A miRNA PCR array comprising 84 miRNAs was used to analyze the AH (glaucoma, n=3; control, n=3) and LC samples (glaucoma, n=3; control, n=4). Expression levels of 19 and 3 miRNAs were significantly upregulated in the AH and LC samples of the glaucoma group, respectively (p < 0.05).

Project description:To better understand the molecular changes in the aqueous humor (AH) content with glaucoma, we analyzed the microRNA (miRNA) profiles of AH samples from patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) and Exfoliation Glaucoma (XFG) compared to non-glaucoma controls.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators in cellular processes and have been showed to be involved in the occurrence and development of various neurodegenerative diseases including glaucoma. The aim of this study is to reveal disease-related extracellular lncRNAs and message RNAs (mRNAs) in aqueous humor (AH) of individual primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients, to determine the potential biomarkers for POAG diagnosis

Project description:Introduction: The optical elements of the eye – cornea, lens, and vitreous humor – are avascular tissues, and their nutrition and waste removal are provided by aqueous humor (AH). The AH production occurs through the active secretion and the passive diffusion/ultrafiltration of blood plasma. The comparison of the metabolomic profiles of aqueous humor (AH) and plasma is important for understanding of the mechanisms of biochemical processes and metabolite transport taking place in vivo in ocular tissues. Objectives: The work is aimed at the determination of concentrations of a wide range of most abundant metabolites in the human AH, the comparison of the metabolomic profiles of AH and serum, and the analysis of the post-mortem metabolomic changes in these two biological fluids. Methods: The quantitative metabolomic profiling was carried out with the use of two independent methods – high-frequency 1H NMR spectroscopy and HPLC with high-resolution ESI-MS detection (LC-MS). Results: The concentrations of 71 most abundant metabolites in blood serum and AH from living patients and human cadavers have been measured. It has been found that the level of ascorbate in AH is by two orders of magnitude higher than that in serum; the levels of other metabolites are either similar to that in serum, or differ from that by a factor of 2-5. The post-mortem metabolomic composition of both serum and AH undergoes rapid and strong changes. Conclusion: The differences between the metabolomic profiles of AH and serum for majority of metabolites can be attributed to the metabolic activity of the ocular tissues leading to the lack or excess of some metabolites, while the high concentration of ascorbate in AH demonstrates the activity of ascorbate-specific pumps at the blood-aqueous border. The post-mortem metabolomic changes are caused by the disruption of the major biochemical cycles and cell lysis. These changes should be taken into account in the analysis of disease-induced changes in post-mortem samples of the ocular tissues.

Project description:Background: Recent therapeutic advances have greatly improved the eye preservation rate in patients affected by retinoblastoma (RB), however local tumor control remains more difficult in the presence of resistant and/or relapsing retinal or vitreous disease. Thus, the identification of new biomarkers is crucial to design more effective treatment approaches. Recently, technological advances have allowed to safely recover aqueous humor (AH) from patients affected by RB undergoing local treatment. Methods: in order to identify specific proteins associated to active vitreous seeding, we have performed proteomic analysis of AH samples derived from patients affected by RB in different disease stages. Fifty-five AH samples were firstly included in this study. A new widened cohort was then used to validate the proteins identified in the previous discovery set. Results: a total of 808 and 630 proteins were identified in the two analysis, respectively. Five proteins resulted more expressed in the active vitreous seeding group: C19orf57, Girdin, SRFBP, GULP-1 and DCD. These proteins are involved in cytoskeleton regulation, tumor proliferation and growth, invasion and migration of cancer cells. Conclusion: reliable prognostic biomarkers are needed to guide RB management. Proteomic analysis of AH provide a unique opportunity to identify tumor associated biomarkers in patients with RB.

Project description:INTRODUCTION: Cornea is the outermost part of the eye supplied mostly by aqueous humor (AH). Therefore, the comparison of the metabolomic compositions of AH and cornea may help to determine which compounds are produced inside the cornea, and which penetrate into cornea from AH for intra-corneal consumption. Keratoconus (KC) is the most common form of the cornea dystrophy, and the analysis of KC corneas can unravel the metabolomic changes occurring in AH and cornea of KC patients. </br> OBJECTIVES: The work is aimed at the determination of concentrations of a wide range of metabolites in the human cornea and AH, the comparison of the metabolomic profiles of cornea and AH, and the comparison of the metabolomic compositions of samples taken from KC patients and normal donors (post-mortem). </br> METHODS: The quantitative metabolomic profiling was carried out with the use of two independent methods—high-frequency 1H NMR spectroscopy and HPLC with high-resolution ESI-MS detection. </br> RESULTS: The concentrations of 71 most abundant metabolites in cornea and AH from keratoconus patients and from human cadavers have been measured. It is found that the concentrations of purines and organic acids in cornea are significantly higher than in AH. The KC corneas are characterized by the enhanced levels of acetate and citrate, and also by low values of GSH/GSSG ratios. </br> CONCLUSION: A significant difference in the metabolomic compositions of the human AH and cornea has been revealed. The concentrations of glucose and some amino acids in cornea are significantly lower than in AH, indicating their fast consumption inside the cornea. The high levels of organic acids, purines and GSH in cornea should be attributed to their production in the cornea. The enhanced levels of acetate and citrate as well as the low values of GSH/GSSG ratios in KC corneas are the indicators of the oxidative stress. </br>

Project description:Aqueous humor (AH) is the fluid in the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye that contains proteins regulating ocular homeostasis. Analysis of aqueous humor proteome is challenging mainly due to low sample volume and protein concentration.
