Here, we report a multi OMIC (transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome) approach to investigate molecular changes in lens fiber cells (FC) of mice exposed to cigarette smoke (CS). Pregnant mice were placed in a whole-body smoke chamber and a few days later pups were born, which were exposed to CS for...

FYCO1 (FYVE and coiled-coil domain containing 1) is an adaptor protein, expressed ubiquitously and required for microtubule-dependent, plus-end-directed transport of macroautophagic/autophagic vesicles. We have previously shown that loss-of-function mutations in FYCO1 cause cataracts wit...

Conditional disruption of Klf4 in the ectoderm-derived tissues of the eye results in defective cornea, conjunctiva and the lens. Expression of Klf4 is first detected in the embryonic day-12 (E12) mouse lens, peaks at E16, and declines thereafter. Lenses from Mice which were conditional null for Klf4...

The cornea continues to mature after birth to develop a fully functional, refractive and protective barrier tissue. Here we investigated the complex biological events underlying this process by profiling global genome-wide gene expression patterns of the immature postnatal day 10 and seven week-old ...

Genome-wide approach to identify the cell-autonomous role of Brg1 in lens fiber cell terminal differentiation. To examine roles of Brg1 in mouse lens development, a dnBrg1 transgenic construct was expressed using the lens-specific alphaA-crystallin promoter in postmitotic lens fiber cells. Morpholog...

In order to investigate the mechanism for the progressive lens degeneration caused by targeted deletion of Dicer, we compared expression profiles of protein-coding genes in wild type and DicerCN lenses at E13.5, at a time before gross morphological changes had occurred. We identified distinct class...

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 express...

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 ...

Wild type or Pax6 fx/fx; Le-Cre-positive (Pax6-/-) surface ectoderm from E9.5 mouse embryos was laser micodissected from three embryos of each genotype. Total RNA was purified and reverse transcribed and amplified using a NuGEN kit. cDNA was biotinylated and hybridized to Illumina Mouse6 bead arrays...

This is a comparative microarray analysis of LE-AP-2a mutants vs. wild-type P0 littermate lenses. This analysis revealed differential gene expression of 415 mRNAs, including reduced expression of genes important for maintaining lens epithelial cell phenotype, such as E-cadherin. Experiment Overall D...
