Project description:Previous work has established the use of a juvenile rabbit model and demonstrated an increased abundance of inflammatory and coagulation cascade proteins in the aqueous humor (AH) following lensectomy with IOL implantation at the time of surgery (Young et al., 2020).Expanding on this work, we seek to establish how the abundance of inflammatory and coagulation proteins in the anterior chamber changes with increasing age following lensectomy with IOL insertion in this rabbit animal model, seeking to explain the difference in post-operative scarring seen between children and adult humans.

Project description:Children that undergo intraocular surgery have an exaggerated postoperative response compared to adults that can result in significant postoperative challenges and reduced post-operative visual acuity. Rabbits were used as an animal model for investigating aging differences, treatment options, and surgical techniques for anterior chamber surgical interventions due to similarities in anterior chamber size and decreasing postoperative response with age. In our study, juvenile and adult rabbits underwent lensectomy with intraocular lens (IOL) insertion to determine how ocular RNA transcripts and proteins change with age. Rabbits underwent lensectomy with IOL insertion, and aqueous humor (AH) was collected immediately prior to surgery and at the peak of the postoperative response on post-operative day 3. Proteins related to coagulation and inflammation were assessed using targeted mass spectrometry. In addition, the cornea and iris/ciliary body tissues were dissected, and transcripts analyzed using RNA sequencing. While clinically, juvenile rabbits have greater fibrin formation following intraocular surgery compared to older rabbits, this change does not appear to be related to relative abundance levels of coagulation and inflammatory proteins in the AH. Gene transcript levels from a variety of immune response and inflammatory pathways reflected significant increases when comparing operated to unoperated ocular tissues, indicating the significant impact that surgery has on each ocular structure. This work further advances our understanding of how the rabbit eye proteomic and transcriptomic changes in response to surgery with aging, as we seek to ultimately identify the mechanisms for the exaggerated postoperative responses after pediatric intraocular surgery.

Project description:Identification of genes involved in ocular birth defects remains a challenge. To facilitate the identification of genes associated with cataract, we developed iSyTE (integrated Systems Tool for Eye gene discovery; http://bioinformatics.udel.edu/Research/iSyTE). iSyTE contains microarray gene expression profiles of the mouse embryonic lens as it transitions from the stage of placode invagination to that of vesicle formation. We identified differentially regulated genes by comparing lens microarray profiles to those representing whole embryonic body (WB) without ocular tissue. These were then utilized to generate a ranked list of lens-genes enrichment, which can be viewed as iSyTE tracks in the UCSC Genome browser to aid identification of genes with lens function. We microdissected embryonic lens from mice at E10.5, E11.5, and E12.5 (triplicate at each time point). To have a proper control, we also generated gene expression profiles of whole embryonic body (WB) at these time points. For comparative analysis, we also generated gene expression profiles of E13.5 tooth germs tissues, and matched WB. These profiles are used to identify lens and tooth specific gene expression enrichment at these embryonic time points. This dataset is then used to prioritize analysis of candidate cataract associated genes.

Project description:Notch signaling is essential for proper lens development, however the specific requirements of individual Notch receptors has not been previously investigated. Here we report the lens phenotypes of Notch2 conditionally mutant mice, which exhibited severe microphthalmia, reduced pupillary openings, disrupted fiber cell morphology, eventual loss of the anterior epithelium, fiber cell dysgenesis, and cataracts. Notch2 mutants also had a persistent lens stalk phenotype at E11.5, and aberrant DNA synthesis in the fiber cell compartment by E14.5. Gene expression analyses showed elevated levels of the cell cycle regulators Cdkn1a (p21Cip1), Ccnd2 (CyclinD2) and Trp63 (p63) that negatively regulates Wnt signaling. Although removal of Notch2 phenocopied the increased proportion of fiber cells of Rbpj and Jag1 conditional mutant lenses, Notch2 is not required for AEL proliferation, suggesting that a different receptor regulates this process. Instead, we found that the Notch2 normally blocks progenitor cell death. Overall, we conclude that Notch2-mediated signaling regulates lens morphogenesis, apoptosis, cell cycle withdrawal, and secondary fiber cell differentiation. We have compared gene expression of ocular lenses of mice that are lens specific conditional mutants of Notch2 gene to that of littermate controls that had no ablation of Notch2 gene in the lens. Two lenses of each of the three conditional mutants and controls were pooled together and total RNA was harvested from embryonic day 19.5 (E19.5) lenses. Gene expression changes caused by absence of Notch2 gene in the lens were analyzed.

Project description:Purpose: To identify and quantify the proteins associated with the robust postoperative immune response in a juvenile rabbit model of lensectomy with intraocular lens (IOL) insertion.
Methods: Twenty-six 6-7 week-old New Zealand White rabbits underwent unilateral portions of lensectomy with IOL insertion including: anterior chamber paracentesis, corneal incision with wound suture, lensectomy only, and lensectomy with IOL insertion. Aqueous humor (AH) was collected immediately prior and three days after each procedure. Semi-quantitative discovery of proteins was achieved using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Based on discovery results, targeted quantitation utilizing stable isotopically labeled (SIL) peptides for 3 proteins of interest, fibrinogen-beta chain, transforming growth factor beta-2, and retinol binding protein 3, were used to confirm the observed quantitative trends.

Project description:Ocular immune privilege (IP) limits immune surveillance of intraocular tumors as certain immunogenic tumor cell lines (P815, E.G7-OVA) that are rejected when transplanted in the skin grow progressively when placed in the anterior chamber (a.c.) of the eye. As splenectomy (SPLNX) is known to terminate ocular IP, we characterized immune mechanisms responsible for spontaneous rejection of intraocular tumors in SPLNX mice as a first step toward identifying how to restore tumoricidal activity within the eye. Microarray data showed a 3-fold increase in interferon (IFN)-γ and a 2.7-fold increase in Fas ligand (FasL). There was a robust increase in transcripts (127 of 408 surveyed) from interferon (IFN)-stimulated genes and a marked decrease (in 40 of 192 surveyed) in the expression of cell-cycle-associated genes. Non-microarray data confirmed that IFNγ, FasL and CD8+ T cells but not perforin or TNFα were required for elimination of intraocular E.G7-OVA tumors that culminated in destruction of the eye (ocular phthsis). IFNγ and FasL did not target tumor cells directly as the majority of SPLNX IFNγR1-/- mice and Fas-defective lpr mice failed to eliminate ocular E.G7-OVA tumors that expressed Fas and IFNγR1. Bone marrow chimeras showed that immune cell expression of IFNγR1 and Fas was critical and that SPLNX increased the frequency of activated macrophages within ocular tumors in an IFNγ- and Fas/FasL-dependent manner. Rejection of intraocular tumors was associated with increased ocular mRNA expression of several inflammatory genes including FasL, NOS2, CXCL2 and T-bet. Our data support a model in which IFNγ- and Fas/FasL-dependent activation of intratumoral macrophage by CD8+ T cells promotes severe intraocular inflammation that indirectly eliminates intraocular tumors by inducing phthisis. The immunosuppressive mechanisms which maintain ocular IP likely interfere with the interaction between CD8+ T cells and macrophage to limit immunosurveillance of intraocular tumors. C57BL/6 mice that were splenectomized (Tumor_splnx) or were not surgically manipulated (Tumor_intact) were challenged with 10^4 luciferase-expressing E.G7-OVA cells injected into the anterior chamber of the eye. Fifteen days later, the animals were euthanized and tumor-bearing eyes were removed.

Project description:We observed that the deletion of Anp32b led to severe defects in ocular development, such as anophthalmia and microphthalmia. Moreover, Anp32b was highly expressed in the lens, and Anp32b−/− embryos with microphthalmia typically exhibited severely impaired lens development. Mechanistically, ANP32B directly interacted with paired box protein 6 (PAX6), a master transcriptional regulator of ocular development, and enhanced its transcriptional activity. In line with these findings, overexpression of PAX6 partially but significantly reversed the inhibition of proliferation observed in ANP32B knockdown cells. Collectively, our findings reveal that ANP32B-deficiency suppresses ocular development by repression of PAX6 and identify ANP32B as a viable therapeutic target for ocular developmental defects.

Project description:Purpose: Transcriptome is the entire repertoire of all transcripts present in a cell at any particular time. We undertook next-generation whole transcriptome sequencing approach to gain insight of the transcriptional landscape of the developing mouse lens. Methods: We ascertained mice lenses at six developmental time points including two embryonic (E15 and E18) and four postnatal stages (P0, P3, P6, and P9). The ocular tissue at each time point was maintained as two distinct pools serving as biological replicates for each developmental stage. The mRNA and small RNA libraries were paired-end sequenced on Illumina HiSeq 2000 and subsequently analyzed using bioinformatics tools. Results: Mapping of mRNA and small RNA libraries generated 187.56 and 154.22 million paired-end reads, respectively. We detected a total of 14,465 genes in the mouse ocular lens. Of these, 46 genes exhibited 40-fold differential expression compared to transcriptional levels at E15. Likewise, small RNA profiling identified 379 microRNAs (miRNAs) expressed in mouse lens. Of these, 49 miRNAs manifested an 8-fold or higher differential expression when compared, as above to the microRNA expression at E15. Conclusion: We report the first comprehensive profile of developing murine lens transcriptome including both mRNA and miRNA through next-generation RNA sequencing. A complete repository of the lens transcriptome of six developmental time points will be monumental in elucidating processes essential for development of the ocular lens and maintenance its transparency. Whole transcrtiome and microRNA profilling of mouse lens using 2 embryonic (E15 and E18) and 4 postnatal stages (P0, P3, P6 and P9) in duplicates through high-throughput sequening using Illumina HiSeq2000.
