Recent advances in cDNA microarray technology have made it possible to analyze expression of several thousand genes at the same time. Using this technique, gene expression in human astrocytes cultured from glaucomatous and normal optic nerve heads (ONH) was compared. One hundred-fifty genes were differentially expressed more than 5-fold in glaucomatous cell cultures compared with normal. These genes are involved in a number of biological processes, including signal transduction, cell adhesion an ...[more]

Regional Gene Expression in the Retina, Optic Nerve Head, and Optic Nerve of Mice with Optic Nerve Crush and Experimental Glaucoma

Project description:A major risk factor for glaucomatous optic neuropathy is the level of intraocular pressure (IOP), which can lead to retinal ganglion cell axon injury and cell death. The optic nerve has a rostral unmyelinated portion at the optic nerve head followed by a caudal myelinated region. The unmyelinated region is differentially susceptible to IOP-induced damage in rodent models and in human glaucoma. While several studies have analyzed gene expression changes in the mouse optic nerve following optic nerve injury, few were designed to consider the regional gene expression differences that exist between these distinct areas. We performed bulk RNA-sequencing on the retina and on separately micro-dissected unmyelinated and myelinated optic nerve regions from naïve C57BL/6 mice, mice after optic nerve crush, and mice with microbead-induced experimental glaucoma (total = 36). Gene expression patterns in the naïve unmyelinated optic nerve showed significant enrichment of the Wnt, Hippo, PI3K-Akt, and transforming growth factor β pathways, as well as extracellular matrix–receptor and cell membrane signaling pathways, compared to the myelinated optic nerve and retina. Gene expression changes induced by both injuries were more extensive in the myelinated optic nerve than the unmyelinated region, and greater after nerve crush than glaucoma. Changes present three and fourteen days after injury largely subsided by six weeks. Gene markers of reactive astrocytes did not consistently differ between injury states. Overall, the transcriptomic phenotype of the mouse unmyelinated optic nerve was significantly different from immediately adjacent tissues, likely dominated by expression in astrocytes, whose junctional complexes are inherently important in responding to IOP elevation.

Astrocytes of the optic nerve exhibit a region-specific and temporally distinct response to elevated intraocular pressure

Project description:The optic nerve is an important tissue in glaucoma and the unmyelinated nerve head region remains an important site of many early neurodegenerative changes. In humans and mice, astrocytes constitute the major glial cell type in the region, and in glaucoma they become reactive, influencing the optic nerve head (ONH) microenvironment and disease outcome. To determine the response of ONH astrocytes in glaucoma, we studied their transcriptional response to an elevation in intraocular pressure (IOP) induced by the microbead occlusion model. We also assessed the response of astrocytes in the more distal myelinated optic nerve proper (ONP). In this experimental model, astrocytes of the optic nerve exhibited a region-specific and temporally distinct response: ONH astrocytes showed very few early transcriptional changes and ONP astrocytes demonstrated substantially larger changes over the course of the experiment.

Sub-region-Specific Optic Nerve Head Glial Activation in Glaucoma

Project description:Glaucoma, a multifactorial neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons in the optic nerve, is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a risk factor for axonal damage, which initially occurs at the optic nerve head (ONH). Complex cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic neuropathy remain unclear. Here we define early molecular events in the ONH in an inherited large animal glaucoma model in which ONH structure resembles that of humans. Gene expression profiling of ONH tissues from rigorously phenotyped feline subjects with early-stage glaucoma and precisely age-matched controls was performed by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis and complementary bioinformatic approaches applied to identify molecular processes and pathways of interest. Immunolabeling supported RNA-seq findings while providing cell-, region-, and disease stage–specific context in the ONH in situ. Transcriptomic evidence for cell proliferation and immune/inflammatory responses is identifiable in early glaucoma, soon after IOP elevation and prior to morphologically detectable axon loss, in this large animal model. In particular, proliferation of microglia and oligodendrocyte precursor cells is a prominent feature of early-stage, but not chronic, glaucoma. ONH microgliosis is a consistent hallmark in both early and chronic stages of glaucoma. Molecular pathways and cell type–specific responses strongly implicate toll-like receptor and NF-κB signaling in early glaucoma pathophysiology. The current study provides critical insights into molecular pathways, highly dependent on cell type and sub-region in the ONH even prior to irreversible axon degeneration in glaucoma.

Expression data from mouse optic nerve head after optic nerve crush

Project description:Reactive gliosis is a complex process that involves profound changes in gene expression. We used microarray to indentify differentially expressed genes and to investigate the molecular mechanisms of reactive gliosis in optic nerve head in response to optic nerve crush injury. C57Bl/6 female mice were 6-8 weeks old at the time of optic nerve crush surgery. The optic nerve in the left eye was crush 1 mm behind the globe for 10 seconds and the right eye served as contralateral control. The animals were allowed to recover for 1 day, 3 day, 1 week, 3 weeks and 3 months before the optic nerve heads were collected. The naive control mice did not receive any surgery in either eye. Due to the small tissue size of the mouse optic nerve head, two optic nerve heads were pooled together for each microarray chip. The left eyes and the right eyes of two mice were combined respectively to form one pair of experiment and control samples. There were five biological replicates (10 mice) for each condition.
