Project description:The cornea, the transparent outermost layer of the eye, possesses exceptional wound healing capabilities essential for vision preservation. The complexity of the corneal microenvironment is central to its rapid healing; however, the molecular mechanisms orchestrating this process remain poorly defined, limiting therapeutic advancements. Here, we elucidate the extensive remodeling of the corneal molecular landscape following physical injury. Multi-omics analyses—including transcriptomic, epitranscriptomic, and proteomic profiling—uncover significant induction of epithelial cell plasticity driving wound closure. Moreover, lacrimal gland ablation further suppresses Pax6 expression, highlighting its regulatory role. Our multi-omic approach uniquely reveals bilateral remodeling of the molecular environment, a phenomenon constrained by an intact tear film. Collectively, our findings identify novel molecular factors critical to corneal healing, significantly advancing the understanding of epithelial plasticity. These insights will facilitate the translation of cell plasticity research into innovative strategies for tissue and organ regeneration.

Project description:Hyperglycemia leads to functional decline of various corneal cells, which induces corneal diseases. However, cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying how hyperglycemia affects the corneal epithelium have not been determined. Here, by undertaking single-cell transcriptomics of corneal epithelial cells obtained from healthy and diabetic non-human primates, we identified cell type-specific transcriptional alterations and shared changes across cell types, such as upregulation of FOXO3. Targeted depletion of FOXO3 in human corneal epithelial cells regulated metabolic remodeling by inhibiting glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Furthermore, FOXO3 can not only sense reactive oxygen species (ROS) in corneal epithelial cells and scavenge ROS, but also mediate the proliferation and migration of corneal epithelial cells, demonstrating FOXO3 as a guardian factor in maintaining primate corneal epithelial homeostasis. Our study provides novel insight into the role of FOXO3 in metabolic remodeling and maintenance of ROS homeostasis in corneal epithelium at single-cell level, laying a foundation for decoding the molecular mechanism of the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic eye disease.

Project description:Corneal organoids are useful tools for disease modeling and tissue transplantation however they have not yet been well studied during maturation. We characterized human iPSC derived corneal organoids at 1, 2, 3 and 4 months of development using single-cell RNA sequencing to determine the cellular heterogeneity at each stage. We found pluripotent cell clusters committed to epithelial cell lineage at 1 month early corneal epithelial, endothelial and stromal cells markers at 2 months, keratocytes as the largest cell population at 3 months, and a large epithelial cell population at 4 months. We compared organoid to fetal corneal development at different stages and found that 4 month organoids closely resemble the corneal cellular complexity of the fetal (16 post conception week) and adult cornea. Using RNA velocity pseudotime trajectory analysis, we found that eye field primordial cells and limbal stem cells appear to give rise to corneal epithelial cells during development.

Project description:Corneal injuries remain a major cause of consultation in the ophthalmology clinics worldwide. Repair of corneal wounds is a complex mechanism that involves cell death, migration, proliferation, differentiation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. In the present study, we used a tissue-engineered, two-layers (epithelium and stroma) human cornea as a biomaterial to study both the cellular and molecular mechanisms of wound healing. Gene profiling on microarrays revealed important alterations in the pattern of genes expressed by tissue-engineered corneas in response to wound healing. Expression of many MMPs-encoding genes was shown by microarray and qPCR analyses to increase in the migrating epithelium of wounded corneas. Many of these enzymes were converted into their enzymatically active form as wound closure proceeded. In addition, expression of MMPs by human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) was affected both by the stromal fibroblasts and the collagen-enriched ECM they produce. Most of all, results from mass spectrometry analyses provided evidence that a fully stratified epithelium is required for proper synthesis and organization of the ECM on which the epithelial cells adhere. In conclusion, and because of the many characteristics it shares with the native cornea, this human two layers corneal substitute may prove particularly useful to decipher the mechanistic details of corneal wound healing. Primary cultures of human corneal epithelial cells cultivated on BSA (number of replicates: 7), Collagen type I (number of replicates: 2), Collagen type IV (number of replicates: 2), Fibronectin (number of replicates: 2), Tenascin C (number of replicates: 2) and Laminin (number of replicates: 2) matrix.

Project description:Maternal diabetes is a teratogen that can lead to neural tube closure defects in the offspring. We therefore sought to compare gene expression profiles at the site of neural tube closure between stage-matched embryos from normal dams, and embryos from diabetic dams. Neurulation-stage mouse embryos at 8.5 days of gestation were used to prepare neural tissue at the anterior aspect of neural tube closure site 1. Tissue was procured from the open neural tube immediately anterior of the closure site, and from the closed neural tube immediately posterior to the closure site by laser microdissection. For each sample, 10 sections were pooled, total RNA was extracted, and 7 ng of total RNA were used for expression profiling by Tag sequencing using an Applied Biosystems SolidSAGE kit for library construction, and an AB SOLiD 5500 XL instrument for sequencing. Sequence reads were mapped to RefSeq RNA, and count data per gene were obtained using a modified version of the Applied Biosystems SOLiDâ?¢ SAGEâ?¢ Analysis Software. diabetic dam - closed neural tube // diabetic dam - open neural tube // normal dam - closed neural tube // normal dam - open neural tube

Project description:Dr. Panjwani's laboratory is focusing on the mechanism by which galectins-3 and 7 mediate corneal epithelial cell migration. We are currently performing studies to: (i) identify and characterize the corneal epithelial cell surface and extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules which serve as counterreceptors of galectin-3 and -7, to establish whether the lectins modulate corneal epithelial cell migration by binding to well known integrins, growth factor receptors, and/or ECM molecules and (ii) determine whether galectin-3 mediates corneal epithelial cell migration indirectly by modulating the expression of key adhesion and/or signal transduction molecules by using small interfering RNA, cDNA microarrays and glycogene arrays. We have prepared three independent preparations of total RNA of corneal epithelial cells from WT mice (total six samples) for analysis of glycogene expression. Samples are Normal Cornea (Left eye) and Laser ablation + 16-18 hours healing (right eye)

Project description:MicroRNA profile comparison of the corneal endothelium of young and old mice: implications for senescence of the corneal endothelium We collected the corneal endothelia from 30 mice aged 10-13 weeks and the corneal endothelia from 30 mice aged 2 years. The samples were pooled into six groups (y1, y2, y3 and s1, s2, s3). Each group comprised corneal endothelia from ten mice, and these six groups were used for a genome-wide microRNA microarray study.

Project description:Human corneal endothelial cells (HCEC) form a monolayer by adhering tightly through their intercellular adhesion molecules. Located at the posterior corneal surface, they maintain corneal translucency by dehydrating the corneal stroma, mainly through the Na+- and K+-dependent ATPase (Na+/K+-ATPase). Because HCEC proliferative activity is low in vivo,we tried to activate proliferation of HCEC by inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors.We have here demonstrated microarray data of transduced human corneal endothelial cell lines. Affymetrix human U133 plus 2.0 array was used to transcriptionally profile to compare cultured human corneal endothelial cells and transduced human corneal endothelial cells.
