Eye development and photoreceptor maintenance requires the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a thin layer of cells that underlies the neural retina. Despite its importance, RPE development has not been studied by a genomic approach. A microarray expression profiling methodology was established in th...

Our purpose was to investigate genes and molecular mechanisms involved in patients with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA). Fibroblasts from two unrelated clinically-identified patients (Coriell) were reprogrammed to pluripotency by retroviral transduction. These human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (...

The iris is a fine structure that controls the amount of light that enters the eye. The ciliary body controls the shape of the lens and produces aqueous humor. The retinal pigment epithelium and choroid (RPE/choroid) are essential in supporting the retina and absorbing light energy that enters the e...

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a polarized cell layer that is critical for photoreceptor function and survival. It’s unique relationship to the photoreceptors and its specific physiology makes the RPE a critical determinant of human vision. Therefore we performed global expression profil...

To assess the geome-wide similarities between primary fetal retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) and stem-cell derived RPE, we performed whole genome microarray expression on primary RPE and both embryonic stem cell (ESC) derived RPE and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived RPE. We found ES-de...

To identify disease-specific transcriptional programs in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, fibroblasts from 43 patients with geographic atrophy (GA) were reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) before being differentiated into RPE and compared to those from 36 healthy individu...

Transcriptional profiles were compared between dark adapted and light damaged BALBc (albino) mouse RPE. Experiment Overall Design: BALBc mice were dark adapted for one week. To produce light damage a subset of the mice were then exposed to 6,000 lux white fluorescent light for 1.5 hours. RPEs were c...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness. Vision loss is caused by the loss of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors and/or retinal and choroidal angiogenesis. Here we use AMD patient specific RPE cells with the Y402H high-risk polymorphism in the comp...

Young mice were compared to old mice (2 month vs 24 month) to determine gene changes that occur with aging in the mouse retinal pigmented epithelium/choroid of the eye. Keywords = retinal pigmented epithelium Keywords = aging Keywords = choroid

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a framework for analyzing RPE expression profiles from zebrafish eye mutants. Methods: The fish model we used was smarca4 (SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a, member 4), a retinal dystrophic muta...
