Short term optical defocus perturbs normal developmental shifts in retina/RPE protein abundance

ABSTRACT: Myopia (short-sightedness) affects approximately 1.4 billion people worldwide, many of whom will become blind from secondary ophthalmic conditions. The pathophysiology of myopia has been investigated by rearing young animals with monocular negative lenses or occluders that stimulate excessive ocular growth. Although a wide range of gene and protein expression changes have been identified in these myopia models, how these expression responses vary across different ocular growth conditions (including normal ocular development and hyperopia induced by positive lenses) remains poorly understood. Accordingly, this study has examined the trajectory of protein pathway expression shifts during normal development, and lens-induced myopia and hyperopia, in the widely used chick model.

<h4>Background</h4>Myopia (short-sightedness) affects approximately 1.4 billion people worldwide, and prevalence is increasing. Animal models induced by defocusing lenses show striking similarity with human myopia in terms of morphology and the implicated genetic pathways. Less is known about proteome changes in animals. Thus, the present study aimed to improve understanding of protein pathway responses to lens defocus, with an emphasis on relating expression changes to no lens control developme ...[more]

Microarray analysis of changes in gene expression within the amacrine cell layer of chicks following optical defocus

Project description:Ocular growth is regulated locally by signals produced in the retina that ultimately act on the growth of the scleral tissue. Consequently, a number of studies have investigated changes in retinal gene expression during manipulation of ocular growth in an attempt to elucidate the biochemical pathways underlying eye growth. However, due to the highly heterogenous nature of the retina, important changes in gene expression can be masked. Therefore, this study has investigated changes in gene expression specifically within the retinal amacrine cell layer, the most likely generator of growth signals, during manipulations of ocular growth. Chicks were monocularly treated with either -7D (n=3, growth stimulant) or +7D (n=3, growth suppressant) lenses for 24hrs, with untreated age-matched chicks serving as a control (n=3). Total RNA from the amacrine cell layer was isolated from laser-capture microdissected (Zeiss, Bernried, Germany) 10Âµm thick sections. Labeled cRNA was prepared from three separate samples per condition and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Chicken Genome arrays.

Ocular disease mechanisms elucidated by genetics of human fetal retinal pigment epithelium gene expression

Project description:The eye is an intricate organ with limited representation in large-scale functional genomics datasets. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) serves vital roles in ocular development and retinal homeostasis. We interrogated the genetics of gene expression of cultured human fetal RPE (fRPE) cells under two metabolic conditions. Genes with disproportionately high fRPE expression are enriched for genes related to inherited ocular diseases. Variants near these fRPE-selective genes explain a larger fraction of risk for both age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and myopia than variants near genes enriched in 53 non-ocular human tissues. Increased mitochondrial oxidation of glutamine by fRPE promoted expression of lipid synthesis genes implicated in AMD. Expression and splice quantitative trait loci (e/sQTLs) analyses revealed shared and metabolic condition-specific loci of each type and several eQTLs not previously described in any tissue. Fine mapping of fRPE e/sQTLs across AMD and myopia genome-wide association data suggests new candidate genes, and mechanisms by which the same common variant of RDH5 contributes to both increased AMD risk and decreased myopia risk. Our study highlights the unique transcriptomic characteristics of fRPE and provides a resource to connect e/sQTLs in a critical ocular cell type to monogenic and complex eye disorders.

Large-scale microRNA expression profiling identifies retinal miRNA-mRNA signaling pathways underlying form-deprivation myopia in mice

Project description:Development of myopia is associated with large-scale changes in ocular tissue gene expression. Although differential expression of coding genes underlying development of myopia has been a subject of intense investigation, the role of non-coding genes such as microRNAs in the development of myopia is largely unknown. In this study, we explored myopia-associated miRNA expression profiles in the retina and sclera of C57Bl/6J mice with experimentally induced myopia using microarray technology. We found a total of 53 differentially expressed miRNAs in the retina and no differences in miRNA expression in the sclera of C57BL/6J mice after 10 days of visual form deprivation, which induced -6.93 ± 2.44 D (p < 0.000001, n = 12) of myopia. We also identified their putative mRNA targets among mRNAs found to be differentially expressed in myopic retina and potential signaling pathways involved in the development of form-deprivation myopia using miRNA-mRNA interaction network analysis. Analysis of myopia-associated signaling pathways revealed that myopic response to visual form deprivation in the retina is regulated by a small number of highly integrated signaling pathways. Our findings highlight substantial involvement of miRNAs in the regulation of refractive eye development, and in the development of myopia through the retinal gene regulation.

Evaluation of MicroRNA Expression Profiles for Form-Deprivation Myopia in Mouse

Project description:The study aim was to determine microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles of ocular tissues in form-deprivation induced myopia (FDM) mice. Form-deprivation myopia was induced in C57BL/6Jmice over the right eye; the contralateral left eyes were used as controls. Whole genome microRNA expression profiles in myopic whole eye, retina, and sclera were determined using the Agilent mouse miRNA microarray. The normalized microarray data were performed ANOVA test to identify differences in miRNA expression between myopic and control eyes. The differential expression for selected miRNAs was validated by quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR).

Dehydroalanine and Dehydrobutyrine in Aging and Cataractous Lenses

Project description:Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been associated with aging and age-related diseases. PTMs are particularly impactful in long-lived proteins, such as those found in the ocular lens, because they accumulate with age. Two post-translational modifications that lead to protein-protein crosslinks in aged and cataractous lenses are dehydroalanine (DHA) and dehydrobutyrine (DHB); formed from cysteine/serine and threonine residues, respectively. The purpose of this study was to quantitate DHA and DHB in human lens proteins as a function of age and cataract status. Human lenses of various ages were divided into five donor groups: transparent lenses (18–22-year-old, 48–64-year-old, and 70–93-year-old) and cataractous human lenses of two age groups (48–64-year-old lenses, and 70–93-year-old lenses) and were subjected to proteomic analysis. Relative DHA and DHB peptide levels were quantified and compared to their non-modified peptide counterparts. For most lens proteins containing DHA or DHB, higher amounts of DHA- and DHB-modified peptides were detected in aged and cataractous lenses. DHA-containing peptides were classified into three groups based on abundance changes with age and cataract: those that (1) increased only in age-related nuclear cataract (ARNC), (2) increased in aged and cataractous lenses, and (3) decreased in aged lenses and ARNC. There was no indication that DHA or DHB levels were dependent on lens region. In most donor groups, proteins with DHA and DHB were more likely to be found among urea-insoluble proteins rather than among water- or urea-soluble proteins. DHA and DHB formation may induce structural effects that make proteins less soluble in water that leads to age-related protein insolubility and possibly aggregation and light scattering.

Genome-wide analysis of retinal transcriptome reveals common genetic network underlying perception of contrast and optical defocus detection

Project description:Refractive eye development is regulated by optical defocus in a process of emmetropization. Excessive exposure to negative optical defocus often leads to the development of myopia. However, it is still largely unknown how optical defocus is detected by the retina. Here, we used genome-wide RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) to conduct analysis of the retinal genetic networks underlying contrast perception and refractive eye development. We report that the genetic network subserving contrast perception plays an important role in optical defocus detection and emmetropization. Our results demonstrate an interaction between contrast perception, the retinal circadian clock pathway and the signaling pathway underlying optical defocus detection. We also observe that the relative majority of genes causing human myopia are involved in the processing of optical defocus. Together, our results support the hypothesis that optical defocus is perceived by the retina using contrast as a proxy and provide new insights into molecular signaling underlying refractive eye development.

The indispensable role of autophagy in lens morphogenesis

Project description:FYVE and coiled-coil domain containing 1 (FYCO1) is expressed ubiquitously and is required for microtubule-dependent, plus-end-directed transport of autophagic vesicles. We previously reported loss of function mutations in FYCO1 responsible for cataractogenesis with no other ocular and/or extra-ocular phenotype. Here, we show that Fyco1-/- lenses recapitulated the cataract phenotype and exhibited diminished autophagy, consistent with a critical role of Fyco1 and autophagy in lens morphogenesis. Transcriptome coupled with proteome and metabolome profiling identified many differentially expressed, autophagy-related, genes, proteins, and lipids, respectively in Fyco1-/- lenses. Flow cytometry of FYCO1 (c.2206C>T) knock-in (KI) human lens epithelial (HLE) cell line confirmed reduced amounts of membrane-bound LC3B-II and autophagic vesicles resulting from the loss of FYCO1. Transmission electron microscopy showed persistent organelle mass in Fyco1-/-lenses and FYCO1 KI lens-like organoid structures, which were further confirmed through western blot analysis. In summary, our data show that the absence of FYCO1 causes diminished autophagy, delayed organelle degradation, and cataractogenesis. These data support the model of FYCO1 supplementing basal autophagy in the lens to meet the physiological necessity of high autophagy levels required during lens fiber cell differentiation and lack thereof results in delayed organelle removal.

Whole Genome Association Twin Study of Myopia and Glaucoma Risk Factors

Project description:<p>Myopia and glaucoma are highly prevalent ophthalmic disorders worldwide and contribute significantly to ocular morbidity. There is substantial evidence that genetic factors play a significant role in the development of non-syndromic myopia and glaucoma. We propose to perform mapping studies for well-characterized twin populations in the United Kingdom and Australia in order to ultimately identify implicated genes for these disorders and related ocular parameters. This will provide a fundamental molecular understanding of how these disorders develop, and may lead to directed physiologic (i.e. pharmacologic, gene therapy) interventions.</p> <p>Our aim is to dissect the genetic basis of the eye disorders myopia and glaucoma. Instead of limited analyses of the trait/disease in a dichotomous manner, we are using continuous phenotypes of measures of refraction and intermediate phenotypes of glaucoma to analyze quantitative traits in unselected population samples of volunteer twins. Achievement of this goal requires cooperative efforts and large sample sizes. Thus, we have created an international collaboration of large complementary studies.</p>
