Project description:Methylation at cytosines (mCG) is a well-known regulator of gene expression but its requirements for cellular differentiation have yet to be fully elucidated. A well-studied cellular differentiation model system is the eye lens, consisting of a single anterior layer of epithelial cells that migrate laterally and differentiate into a core of fiber cells. Here, we explore the genome-wide relationships between mCG methylation, chromatin accessibility and gene expression during differentiation of eye lens epithelial cells into fiber cells. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing identified 7621 genomic loci exhibiting significant differences in mCG levels between lens epithelial and fiber cells. Changes in mCG levels were inversely correlated with the differentiation state-specific expression of 1285 genes preferentially expressed in either lens fiber or lens epithelial cells (Pearson correlation r = -0.37, p < 1x10-42). mCG levels were inversely correlated with chromatin accessibility determined by Assay for transposase-accessible sequencing (ATAC-seq) (Pearson correlation r = -0.86, p < 1x10-300). Many of the genes exhibiting altered regions of DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility and gene expression levels in fiber cells relative to epithelial cells are associated with lens fiber cell structure, homeostasis and transparency. These include lens crystallins (CRYBA4, CRYBB1, CRYGN, CRYBB2), lens beaded filament proteins (BFSP1, BFSP2), transcription factors (HSF4, SOX2, HIF1A), and Notch signaling pathway members (NOTCH1, NOTCH2, HEY1, HES5). Analysis of regions exhibiting cell-type specific alterations in DNA methylation revealed an overrepresentation of consensus sequences of multiple transcription factors known to play key roles in lens cell differentiation including HIF1A, SOX2, and the MAF family of transcription factors. Collectively, these results link DNA methylation with control of chromatin accessibility and gene expression changes required for eye lens differentiation. The results also point to a role for DNA methylation in the regulation of transcription factors previously identified to be important for lens cell differentiation.

Project description:Signals from the lens regulate multiple aspects of eye development, including establishment of eye size, patterning of the presumptive iris and ciliary body in the anterior optic cup and migration and differentiation of neural crest cells. To advance understanding of the molecular regulation of eye development by the lens, we performed transcriptome analysis of lens-removed and contralateral unoperated embryonic chicken eyes. Lens-regulated genes implicated in periocular mesenchyme, cornea and anterior optic cup development were identified. Identified candidates included genes known to be regulated by lens-derived signals and important for anterior eye development, including WNT pathway genes. Factors not previously implicated in eye development also were identified, paving the way for additional research in this area. Genes associated with nervous system development were upregulated in lens-removed eyes, but the presumptive ciliary body and iris region did not adopt a neural retina identity following lens removal. Intriguingly, transcriptomic differences were identified in retinas from male versus female chicken embryos, suggesting sexual dimorphism from early stages. These analyses have identified candidate genes and biological pathways involved in eye development, providing avenues for new research in this area.

Project description:MicroRNA expression in the mouse eye.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of biological processes. To define miRNA function in the eye, it is essential to determine a high-resolution profile of their spatial and temporal distribution. In this report, we present the first comprehensive survey of miRNA expression in ocular tissues, using both microarray and RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) procedures. We initially determined the expression profiles of miRNAs in the retina, lens, cornea and retinal pigment epithelium of the adult mouse eye by microarray. Each tissue exhibited notably distinct miRNA enrichment patterns and cluster analysis identified groups of miRNAs that showed predominant expression in specific ocular tissues or combinations of them. Next, we performed RNA ISH for over 220 miRNAs, including those showing the highest expression levels by microarray, and generated a high-resolution expression atlas of miRNAs in the developing and adult wild-type mouse eye, which is accessible in the form of a publicly available web database. We found that 122 miRNAs displayed restricted expression domains in the eye at different developmental stages, with the majority of them expressed in one or more cell layers of the neural retina . This analysis revealed miRNAs with differential expression in ocular tissues and provided a detailed atlas of their tissue-specific distribution during development of the murine eye. The combination of the two approaches offers a valuable resource to decipher the contributions of specific miRNAs and miRNA clusters to the development of distinct ocular structures. microRNA profiling of ocular tissues from mouse. In particular we analysed the cornea, lens, Retina Pigment Epithelium (RPE) and retina and compared them against RNA extracted from the entire eye. The purpose of this experiment was to understand which microRNAs are present nd/or show differential expression in the various structures of the eye (cornea, lens, RPE, retina). The samples numbered 1 & 2 (i.e. CORNEA1, CORNEA2 etc ) are biological replicates, prepared from tissues dissecyed from different groups of wild-type animals. RNA extracted from the entire eye (EYE) served as the unique reference sample. For each tissue to be analysed we performed the following hybridizations: - 2 slides for lens (LENS1, LENS2) vs entire eye (EYE) - 2 slides for RPE (RPE1, RPE2) vs entire eye (EYE) - 2 slides for retina (RETINA1, RETINA2) vs entire eye (EYE) - 2 slides for cornea (CORNEA1, CORNEA2) vs entire eye (EYE) - 1 slide for entire eye (EYE) vs entire eye (EYE)

Project description:The eye lens is composed of fiber cells, which differentiate from epithelial cells on its anterior surface. In concert with this differentiation, a set of proteins essential for lens function is synthesized, and the cellular organelles are degraded. To understand the molecular mechanism of the lens cell differentiation, we compared the gene expression profiles between epithelial and cortical fiber cells of young mouse lens using a microarray analysis.
