Project description:Purpose: Using customized RNA-sequencing analyses to reveal notably different expression profiles of TRb1 and TRb2 in mouse retina. Method and Results: TRb2 peaks early whereas TRb1 peaks later during retinal maturation or during later differentiation. TRb1-knockout mice displayed only minor changes in opsin photopigment expression and normal electroretinogram responses, indicating that TRb2 and TRb1 are not functionally equivalent in cone differentiation. The biphasic expression patterns of TRb1 and TRb2 suggest versatile functions for thyroid hormone in retinal and non-neural ocular development.

Project description:COL4A1 mutations cause Gould syndrome, a multi-system disorder which is characterized by a broad range of cerebrovascular, ocular, muscular, renal, or cardiac manifestations. To investigate the patheogenic mechanism of Col4a1 mutations in ocular anterior segment dysgenesis, we used a Col4a1 mutant mouse model that recapitulate many aspects of the pathophysiological hallmarks of Gould syndrome including anterior segment dysgenesis. We then isolated developing anterior segments from wildtype and mutant mice and performed differntial expression analysis using bulk RNAseq.

Project description:Uveitis describes a heterogeneous group of inflammatory eye diseases characterized by infiltration of leukocytes into the uveal tissues. uveitis associated with the HLA haplotype B27 (HLA-B27) is a common subtype of uveitis and a prototypical ocular immune-mediated disease. Local immune mechanisms driving human uveitis are poorly characterized mainly due to the limited available biomaterial and subsequent technical limitations. Here, we provide the first high-resolution characterization of intraocular leukocytes in HLA-B27 positive (n=3) and negative (n=2) anterior uveitis and an infectious endophthalmitis control (n=1) by combining single cell RNA-sequencing with flow cytometry and protein analysis. Ocular cell infiltrates consisted primarily of lymphocytes in both subtypes of uveitis and of myeloid cells in infectious endophthalmitis. HLA-B27 positive uveitis exclusively featured a plasmacytoid and classical dendritic cells (cDC) infiltrate. Moreover, cDCs were central in predicted local cell-cell communication. This suggests a unique pattern of ocular leukocyte infiltration in HLA-B27 positive uveitis with relevance of dendritic cells.

Project description:ChIP-seq data from mouse liver over-expressing GFP and fed a PTU diet and treated with saline, or overexpressing biotinylated TRb1 and GFP and fed a PTU diet, treated with either saline or T3 Mouse liver was infected with adenovirus that either expressed only GFP or GFP and biotinylated TRb1 and were fed a PTU diet, followed by injections with only saline (GFP-only livers) or with saline or T3 (Biotinylated-TRb1 and GFP livers). ChIP assays were performed using streptavidin agarose to capture biotinylated TRb1 followed by library construction and sequencing.

Project description:Although the visual system extends through the brain, most vision loss originates from defects in the eye. Its central element is the neural retina, which senses light, processes visual signals, and transmits them to the rest of the brain through the optic nerve (ON). Surrounding the retina are numerous other structures, conventionally divided into anterior and posterior segments. Here we used high-throughput single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) to classify and characterize cells in the extraretinal components of the posterior segment: ON, optic nerve head (ONH), peripheral sclera, peripapillary sclera (PPS), choroid, and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Defects in each of these tissues are associated with blinding diseases – for example, glaucoma (ONH and PPS), optic neuritis (ON), retinitis pigmentosa (RPE), and age-related macular degeneration (RPE and choroid). From ~151,000 single nuclei, we identified 37 transcriptomically distinct cell types, including multiple types of astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, fibroblasts, and vascular endothelial cells. Our analyses revealed a differential distribution of many cell types among distinct structures. Together with our previous analyses of the anterior segment and retina, the new data complete a “Version 1” cell atlas of the human eye. We used this atlas to map the expression of >180 genes associated with the risk of developing glaucoma, which is known to involve ocular tissues in both anterior and posterior segments as well as neural retina. Similar methods can be used to investigate numerous additional ocular diseases, many of which are currently untreatable.

Project description:The anterior segment of the eye consists of the cornea, iris, ciliary body, crystalline lens and aqueous humor outflow pathways. Together, these tissues are essential for the proper functioning of the eye. Disorders of vision have been ascribed to defects in all of them; some, including glaucoma and cataract, are among the most prevalent causes of blindness. To characterize the cell types that comprise these tissues, we generated an anterior segment cell atlas of the human eye using high throughput single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNAseq). We profiled 191,992 single nuclei from non-diseased anterior segment tissues from 6 human donors, identifying >60 cell types. Many are discrete, whereas others in lens and cornea form continua, corresponding to known developmental transitions that persist in adulthood. Having profiled each tissue separately, we performed an integrated analysis of the entire anterior segment revealing that some cell types are unique to single structure whereas others are shared across tissues. This integrated cell atlas was then used to investigate cell type-specific expression patterns of more than >900 human ocular disease genes identified either through Mendelian inheritance patterns or genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Project description:The resident astrocytes-retinal ganglion cell lipoxin circuit is impaired during retinal stress that include exocytotoxic- and ocular hypertension-induced neuropathy. Two endogenous lipoxins (Lipoxin A4 and Lipoxin B4) produced by homeostatic astrocytes directly act on RGCs. LXB4 is the most potent lipoxin in the retina and directly increases RGC survival and function in ocular hypertension-induced neuropathy. Homeostatic roles and cellular targets of LXB4 in the retina and optic nerve are a critical gap in knowledge. Single-cell RNA sequencing was used to define cellular targets and signaling of LXB4 in the retina. For modeling neurodegeneration, sustained ocular hypertension was induced by silicone-oil injection in the anterior chamber of mouse eyes. For morphological characterization of microglia populations in the retina and optic nerve, we used MorphOMICs and pseudotime trajectory analysis. Bulk RNA sequencing of optic nerves was performed to characterize pathways and mechanism of action for LXB4. qPCR and immunohistochemistry were used for validation of transcriptomics data. Student’s t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to determine differences between experimental groups. Single Cell transcriptomic identified microglia as a primary target for LXB4 in the healthy retina. LXB4 downregulated genes that drive microglia environmental sensing and reactivity responses. Analysis of microglia function uncovered that ocular hypertension induces distinct, temporally defined and dynamic phenotypes in the retina and, unexpectedly, in the distal myelinated optic nerve. Microglial expression of CD74, a marker of disease-associated microglia (DAM) in the brain, was only induced in a unique population of optic nerve microglia but not the retina. Genetic deletion of lipoxin formation correlated with presence of a CD74 optic nerve microglia population in normotensive eyes optic, while LXB4 treatment during ocular hypertension shifted optic nerve microglia toward a homeostatic morphology and non-reactive state and downregulated expression of CD74. Furthermore, we identified a correlation between CD74 and phospho-PI3K (p-PI3K) expression levels in the optic nerve, that was reduced by LXB4 treatment. Results identify distal optic nerve microglial dynamic and reactive responses as a key feature of ocular hypertension induce neurodegeneration. Our findings establish microglia regulation as a new LXB4 cell target in the retina and optic nerve. LXB4 maintenance of optic nerve microglia homeostatic phenotype and inhibition of a disease-associated phenotype are potential mechanisms for LXB4 neuroprotection.
