Project description:Mutations of the RNA-granule component TDRD7 (OMIM: 611258) cause pediatric cataract in humans. Here, we applied an integrated approach to elucidate the molecular pathology of cataract in Tdrd7 targeted-knockout (Tdrd7-/-) mice. Tdrd7-/- animals precipitously develop lens fiber cell abnormalities early in life, suggesting a global-level breakdown/mis-regulation of key cellular processes. High-throughput RNA-sequencing followed by iSyTE-integrated bioinformatics-based analysis identified the molecular chaperone and cytoskeletal-modulator, HSPB1 (HSP27), among the high-priority down-regulated candidates in Tdrd7-/- lens. Moreover, a protein 2-D fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis-coupled mass spectrometry screen also identified HSPB1 to be reduced in Tdrd7-/- lens, offering independent support for focusing efforts on this factor to explain Tdrd7-/- cataract. Reduction of HSPB1 preceded lens morphological abnormalities, suggesting that cytoskeletal defects underlie the Tdrd7-/- cataract phenotype. In agreement, scanning electron microscopy revealed abnormal fiber cell membrane protrusions in Tdrd7-/- lenses. Significantly, abnormal F-actin staining was detected specifically in Tdrd7-/- fiber cells that exhibit nuclear degradation, thereby revealing that there are distinct mechanisms based on pre- or post-nuclear degradation differentiation stage for F-actin cytoskeletal maintenance in fiber cells. Further, RNA-immunoprecipitation identified Hspb1 mRNA in wild-type lens lysate TDRD7-pulldowns, and single-molecule RNA-imaging showed co-localization of TDRD7 protein with cytoplasmic Hspb1 mRNA in a specific pre-nuclear degradation area of differentiating fiber cells, indicating that TDRD7-ribonucleoprotein complexes are necessary for controlling optimal levels of key factors in lens development. Together, these data uncover a novel role for TDRD7 in regulating elevation of stress-responsive chaperones for cytoskeletal maintenance in post-nuclear degradation lens fiber cells, perturbation of which causes early-onset cataracts.

Project description:Mutations/deficiency of TDRD7, which encodes a tudor domain containing protein involved in post-transcriptional gene expression control, causes early-onset cataract in humans and animal models. While Tdrd7 is implicated in the control of key lens mRNAs, the impact of Tdrd7 deficiency on microRNAs (miRNAs), and how this contributes to cataracts, is undefined. Here, we address this critical knowledge-gap by investigating Tdrd7-targeted knockout (Tdrd7-/-) mice that exhibit fully penetrant juvenile cataracts. To gain global insights into miRNA profile alterations, we performed Affymetrix miRNA 3.0 microarray analysis on Tdrd7-/- mouse lenses at postnatal day (P) 4, because this stage precedes cataract formation and thus informs on early miRNA misexpression while minimizing detection of secondary changes.

Project description:To analyze the role of HSP27 in bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis in vivo, we used TG mice that conventionally overexpressed HSP27. Our previously reported that HSP27 plays an important role in pulmonary fibrosis. In mice overexpressing HSPB1, BLM-induced fibrotic regions and collagen deposits were increased compared with those in control BL6 mice. Following intratracheal treatment of BLM, the HSP25 TG mice showed an abundance of mononuclear and neutrophils cells in the alveoli, greater destruction of alveolar septa, intra-alveolar hyaline membrane formation, and a marked increase in collagen deposition compared with control BL6 mice.

Project description:Analysis of Tdrd7 deficiency in mouse lens epithelial-derived cell line at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested was that Tdrd7 is involved in post-transcriptional control of gene expression in the lens. Results provide evidence for differential regulation of genes involved in lens homeostasis and cataract formation in the absence of Tdrd7. In eukaryotic cells, cytoplasmic RNA granules (RGs) function in the post-transcriptional control of gene expression. However, the involvement of RGs and their component proteins in vertebrate organogenesis is unknown. We report two independent cases of pediatric cataract with loss-of-function mutations in TDRD7, which encodes a Tudor domain RNA binding protein. TDRD7 deficiency in chick lens produces cataracts, and Tdrd7 null mouse mutants develop cataracts, as well as features of glaucoma and male sterility due to azoospermia. In lens fiber cells, TDRD7 is necessary for the RG-mediated post-transcriptional control of critical lens mRNAs, while in the testis it functions as a component of a specialized RG, the chromatoid body. These findings define a new role for RGs in vertebrate organogenesis, and a novel mechanism for cataractogenesis.
