Project description:The microRNA profiles in the vitreous of proliferative vitreoretinal disease (PVD) such as proliferative diabetic retinopathy with fibrovascular membrane and macular hole (MH) patients were studied by RT-PCR. From each individual in the two cohorts: the PVD (n=3) and MH patients (n=3), vitreous specimens were collected and microRNAs were extracted for miRNA profiles analysis.

Project description:Despite great advancements in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) therapy over the last decades, one third of treated patients continue to lose vision. Vitreous macrophages called hyalocytes have been implied in the pathogenesis of vitreoretinal proliferative disease previously but little is known about their role in PDR. In this study, we address molecular and cellular alterations of the PDR vitreous, in order to assess the potential contribution of hyalocytes to PDR development. A total of 55 patients were included in this study encompassing RNA-Sequencing analysis of vitreous hyalocytes from PDR and control patients, multiplex immunoassay and ELISA analysis of undiluted vitreous samples and isolation and immunohistochemical staining of cultured porcine hyalocytes. Our transcriptional analysis revealed an enhanced inflammatory signature of hyalocytes contributing to the cytokine pool within the PDR vitreous by expressing, among others, interleukin-6. The data further indicate an expression shift, involving angiopoietin-2, in PDR hyalocytes converting them to a proangiogenic cellular component, which may mediate formation of retinal neovascularization, hallmark of PDR. Finally, our data suggest a role of vitreous macrophages in erythrophagocytosis and, thereby, removal of vitreous hemorrhage, a severe complication of PDR. Immunomodulation of hyalocytes may thus prove an essential novel therapeutical approach in diabetic vitreoretinal disease.

Project description:Vitreoretinal lymphoma is a rare subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma considered a variant of primary central nervous system lymphoma. Its diagnosis requires examination of vitreous fluid, but cytologic differentiation from uveitis remains difficult. Due to its rarity and difficulty in obtaining diagnostic material, little is known about the genetic profile of the disease.

Project description:Here, we performed molecular pathology analysis of the vitreous proteomes collected from 127 patients with RRD using SWATH-mass spectrometry. For comparison, samples of neurodegenerative vitreoretinal interface eyes (MH, Pucker) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy eyes with tractional-retinal detachment (PDR-TRD) were used as a control.

Project description:PURPOSE: To investigate the circulatory microRNA (miRNA) profiles of aqueous, vitreous, and plasma in order to identify biomarkers in aqueous humor or plasma that are reflecting changes in vitreous of patients with diabetes. METHODS: Aqueous, vitreous and plasma samples were collected from a total of 27 patients - 11 controls (macular pucker or macular hole patients) and 16 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing vitreoretinal surgery: DM-Type I with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) (DMI-PDR), DM Type II with PDR (DMII-PDR) and DM Type II with nonproliferative DR (DMII-NPDR). MiRNAs were isolated using Qiagen microRNeasy kit, quantified on BioAnalyzer, labeled with FlashTag kit, and profiled on Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 3.0 microarrays. Data analysis was done using Expression Console (EC), Transcriptome Analysis Console (TAC), and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software. RESULTS: Our comparison of circulatory miRNA population of aqueous and vitreous humor and plasma showed that out of total of 847 human miRNA probes on the Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 3.0 we found common miRNAs for both aqueous and vitreous samples, as well as larger number of unique miRNA, dependent on the DM type and presence of retinopathy. Most of the dysregulated miRNAs in aqueous and vitreous of DM patients were upregulated, while in plasma, most of the DM-specific miRNAs were downregulated. Dysregulation of miRNAs in aqueous generally do not appear to be a good representative of the miRNA abundance in vitreous, or plasma, although we did identify a few candidates for common biomarkers: let-7b, miR-320b, miR-762 and miR-4488. Additionally, each of the DR subtypes showed a set of miRNA that is uniquely dysregulated in each fluid, for example in aqueous samples for DMII-NPDR it was miR-455-3p, for DMII-PDR was miR-296, and for DMI-PDR it was miR-3202. Pathway analysis identified TGF-beta and VEGF pathways as the common targets for miRNAs dysregulated in DR aqueous and vitreous. CONCLUSIONS: The comparative profiling of circulatory miRNAs in aqueous, vitreous, and plasma showed that a small number of circulatory miRNAs displayed differential presence in controls vs. diabetic retinopathy. A pattern is emerging of sets of miRNA that are common or uniquely dysregulated in the blood plasma or ocular fluids of DR subtypes, offering promise for the use of ocular fluids and plasma for identifying diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Project description:We have sequenced miRNA libraries from human embryonic, neural and foetal mesenchymal stem cells. We report that the majority of miRNA genes encode mature isomers that vary in size by one or more bases at the 3’ and/or 5’ end of the miRNA. Northern blotting for individual miRNAs showed that the proportions of isomiRs expressed by a single miRNA gene often differ between cell and tissue types. IsomiRs were readily co-immunoprecipitated with Argonaute proteins in vivo and were active in luciferase assays, indicating that they are functional. Bioinformatics analysis predicts substantial differences in targeting between miRNAs with minor 5’ differences and in support of this we report that a 5’ isomiR-9-1 gained the ability to inhibit the expression of DNMT3B and NCAM2 but lost the ability to inhibit CDH1 in vitro. This result was confirmed by the use of isomiR-specific sponges. Our analysis of the miRGator database indicates that a small percentage of human miRNA genes express isomiRs as the dominant transcript in certain cell types and analysis of miRBase shows that 5’ isomiRs have replaced canonical miRNAs many times during evolution. This strongly indicates that isomiRs are of functional importance and have contributed to the evolution of miRNA genes

Project description:Analysis of ex vivo isolated lymphatic endothelial cells from the dermis of patients to define type 2 diabetes-induced changes. Results preveal aberrant dermal lymphangiogenesis and provide insight into its role in the pathogenesis of persistent skin inflammation in type 2 diabetes. The ex vivo dLEC transcriptome reveals a dramatic influence of the T2D environment on multiple molecular and cellular processes, mirroring the phenotypic changes seen in T2D affected skin. The positively and negatively correlated dLEC transcripts directly cohere to prolonged inflammatory periods and reduced infectious resistance of patients´ skin. Further, lymphatic vessels might be involved in tissue remodeling processes during T2D induced skin alterations associated with impaired wound healing and altered dermal architecture. Hence, dermal lymphatic vessels might be directly associated with T2D disease promotion. Global gene expression profile of normal dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (ndLECs) compared to dermal lymphatic endothelial cells derived from type 2 diabetic patients (dLECs).Quadruplicate biological samples were analyzed from human lymphatic endothelial cells (4 x diabetic; 4 x non-diabetic). subsets: 1 disease state set (dLECs), 1 control set (ndLECs)
