Project description:Congenital cataract is one of the leading causes of blindness in children worldwide. About one third of congenital cataracts are caused by genetic defects. Previous studies have identified LSS as a causal gene for congenital cataracts. However, its roles in lens development remains largely unknown. Here, we performed RNA-seq on the lens of WT and Lss mutant (heterozygous and homozygous )at E14.5, identified that cholesterol synthesis signaling pathways were significantly downregulated. Overall, our study points out that LSS functions as a critical determinant of lens development, which will contribute to better understand LSS defects in cataractogenesis and develop therapies for cataract.

Project description:Although majority of the genes linked to pediatric cataract exhibit lens fiber cell-enriched expression, our understanding of gene regulation in these cells is limited to function of just eight transcription factors and largely in the context of crystallins. Here, we identify small Maf transcription factors MafG and MafK as regulators of several non-crystallin human cataract genes in fiber cells and establish their significance to cataract. We applied a bioinformatics tool for cataract gene discovery iSyTE to identify MafG and its co-regulators in the lens, and generated various null-allelic combinations of MafG:MafK mouse mutants for phenotypic and molecular analysis. By age 4-months, MafG-/-:MafK+/- mutants exhibit lens defects that progressively develop into cataract. High-resolution phenotypic characterization of MafG-/-:MafK+/- lens reveals severe defects in fiber cells, while microarrays-based expression profiling identifies 97 differentially regulated genes (DRGs). Integrative analysis of MafG-/-:MafK+/- lens-DRGs with 1) binding-motifs and genomic targets of small Mafs and their regulatory partners, 2) iSyTE lens-expression data, and 3) interactions between DRGs in the String database, unravels a detailed small Maf regulatory network in the lens, several nodes of which are linked to human cataract. This analysis prioritizes 36 highly promising candidates from the original 97 DRGs. Significantly, 8/36 (22%) DRGs are associated with cataracts in human (GSTO1, MGST1, SC4MOL, UCHL1) or mouse (Aldh3a1, Crygf, Hspb1, Pcbd1), suggesting a multifactorial etiology that includes elevation of oxidative stress. These data identify MafG and MafK as new cataract-associated candidates and define their function in regulating largely non-crystallin genes linked to mouse and human cataract.

Project description:Early changes in the transcriptome associated with lens wounding in an ex vivo post-cataract surgery chicken model. Here we report the changes in the transcriptome that occur 1hr vs. time 0 post-cataract surgery wounding. Our data provide a molecular framework for understanding the early gene changes associated with the injury response of the lens.

Project description:Genetic variations in ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EPHA2) have been associated with inherited and age-related forms of cataract in humans. Here we have characterized the eye lens phenotype and transcript profile of germline Epha2 knock-in mutant mice homozygous for either a missense variant associated with age-related cataract in humans (Epha2-Q722) or a novel insertion-deletion mutation (Epha2-indel722) that were both located within the tyrosine-kinase domain of EPHA2. Whole-mount confocal imaging of clear lenses from Epha2-indel722 mice on a fluorescent reporter background revealed misalignment of epithelial-to-fiber cell meridional-rows at the lens equator and severe disturbance of Y-suture formation at the lens poles, whereas, Epha2-Q722 lenses displayed mild disturbance of posterior sutures. Immunofluorescent labeling showed that EPHA2 was mostly localized to lens fiber cell membranes with some sub-membrane localization observed in Epha2-Q722 lenses and diffuse membrane and perinuclear localization in Epha2-indel722 lenses. Immunoprecipitation/blotting studies indicated that EPHA2 formed strong complexes with Src kinase but not with catenin beta 1 or cadherin 2 and was mostly serine phosphorylated in the lens. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed differential expression of several cytoskeleton-associated genes in Epha2-mutant and Epha2-null lenses including strong downregulation of Lgsn and Clic5. Collectively, our data suggest that mutations within the tyrosine-kinase domain of EPHA2 result in lens cell patterning defects and dysregulated expression of several cytoskeletal proteins.

Project description:The Shumiya cataract rat (SCR) is a model for hereditary cataract. Two-third of these rats develop lens opacity within 10-11-weeks. Onset of cataract is attributed to the synergetic effect of lanosterol synthase (Lss) and farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase 1 (Fdft1) mutant alleles that lead to cholesterol deficiency in the lenses, which in turn adversely affects lens biology including the growth and differentiation of lens epithelial cells (LECs). Nevertheless, the molecular events and changes in gene expression associated with the onset of lens opacity in SCR is poorly understood. Our study aimed to identify the gene expression patterns during cataract formation in SCRs, which may be responsible for cataractogenesis in SCR.

Project description:Purpose: Phosphoinositide kinase, FYVE-type zinc finger containing (PIKFYVE) is a newly identified pathogenic gene involved in cataract. This study aimed to investigate the nature and mechanism of vacuoles related to PIKFYVE. Methods: We generated Pikfyve phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase domain-deficient ( pikfyveΔ8) zebrafish using CRISPR/Cas9-directed gene editing. The pikfyveΔ8 homozygous and wild-type zebrafish were subjected to transcriptomic analyses. Results: Transcriptomic analyses revealed 8694 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Conclusion: Our study represents the first detalis transcriptomic analysis of pikfyve disruption zebrafish.
