Genetic Epidemiology of Refractive Error in the KORA Study

ABSTRACT:

KORA ("Kooperative Gesundheitsforschung in der Region Augsburg" which translates as "Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg") is a population based study of adults randomly selected from 430,000 inhabitants living in Augsburg and 16 surrounding counties in Germany. The collection was done in 4 separate groups from 1984-2001 (S1-S4). One of the KORA groups, S3/F3, will be utilized for our GWAS because it is the only group with refractive error (RE) measurements. Consequent to informed consent, each of the surveys sampled subjects from ten strata according to age (range 25-74 years) and sex (equal ratio) with a minimum stratum size of > 400 subjects. In the KORA S3 study 4,856 subjects were studied between 1994 and 1995, and 3,006 individuals from S3 returned for follow up between 2003 and 2005 (S3/F3). For this refractive error study, we are including 1,981 subjects from S3/F3 (mean age 55.7, range 35-84). For each subject, eyeglass prescriptions were measured in addition to an evaluation by the Nikon Retinomax. Subjects with predisposing medical conditions, i.e., connective tissue disorders, and ocular conditions i.e., cataract and corneal opacities, that might predispose them to refractive error will not be included for genotyping.

Whole genome association genotyping will be performed to determine common alleles that contribute to the variation of the quantitative trait of refractive error.

Molecular switching of a DNA-sliding clamp to a repressor mediates long-range gene silencing

Project description:Long-range gene regulation is rare in bacteria and is confined to the classical DNA looping model. Here, we use a combination of biophysical approaches, including X-ray crystallography and single-molecule analysis, to show that long-range gene silencing on the plasmid RK2, a source of multidrug resistance across diverse Gram-negative bacteria, is achieved cooperatively by a DNA-sliding clamp, KorB, and a clamp-locking protein, KorA. We find that KorB is a CTPase clamp that can entrap and slide along DNA to reach distal target promoters. We resolved the tripartite crystal structure of a KorB-KorA-DNA co-complex, revealing that KorA latches KorB into a closed-clamp state. KorA thus stimulates repression by stalling KorB sliding at target promoters to occlude RNA polymerase holoenzymes. Altogether, our findings explain the mechanistic basis for KorB role-switching from a DNA-sliding clamp to a co-repressor, and provide a new paradigm for the long-range regulation of gene expression.

Gene Expression Profiling in Spontaneous Corneal Degeneration in Mice

Project description:When recruiting Balb/c mice for projects concerning corneas, we found that some mice presented corneal abnormality mimicking human corneal degenerations. The mice were unilaterally or bilaterally affected. The corneas of unilaterally affected mice were collected and pooled respectively into Normal and Degenerative samples. RNA was prepared and subjected to dual-labeling microarray analysis using the Capital Bio work station. Spontaneously degenerative corneas vs nomal corneas from same unilaterally affected mice. Dye swap was applied to reduce systemic error.

Transcriptional Profiling Provides New Insights into Organ Culture-Induced Changes in Human Donor Corneas

Project description:Corneal transplantation is one of the most common forms of tissue transplantation worldwide. Donor corneal tissue used in transplantation is provided by eye banks, which store the tissue in culture medium after procurement. To date, the effects of cell culture on human corneal tissue have not been fully elucidated. Using the 3’ RNA sequencing method for massive analysis of cDNA ends (MACE), we show that cultivation of corneal tissue leads to significant changes in a variety of molecular processes in human corneal tissue that go well beyond aspects of previously known culture effects. Functionally grouped network analysis revealed nine major groups of biological processes that were affected by corneal organ culture, among them keratinization, hypoxia, and angiogenesis, with genes from each group being affected by culture time. A cell type deconvolution analysis revealed significant modulations of the corneal immune cell profile in a time dependent manner. The results suggest that current culture conditions should be further refined and that prolonged cultivation may be detrimental. Recently, we showed that MACE enables transcrip-tional profiling of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) conjunctival tissue with high accuracy even after more than 10 years of storage. Here we demonstrate that MACE provides comparable results for native and FFPE corneal tissue, confirming that the technology is suitable for transcriptome analysis of a wide range of archived diseased corneal samples stored in histo-logical archives. Finally, our data underscore the feasibility of bioinformatics cell-type enrich-ment analysis in bulk RNA-seq data to profile immune cell composition in fixed and archived corneal tissue samples, for which RNA-seq analysis of individual cells is often not possible.

Proteomic analysis of Descemet's membrane with corneal endothelial cells derived from patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy and healthy control subjects

Project description:This dataset contains proteomic profiles of Descemet's membrane (DM) with corneal endothelial cells derived from patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and non-FECD subjects by shotgun proteomics. FECD is the most common inherited corneal disease. Fibrillar focal excrescences, called guttae, and corneal edema due to corneal endothelial cell death result in progressive vision loss. Our dataset indicated that 32 distinctive molecules were expressed only in the FECD-DM but not in the DM of the control subject, possibly having important roles in the pathophysiology of FECD.

microRNA Expression of mice corneal endothelia

Project description:MicroRNA profile comparison of the corneal endothelium of young and old mice: implications for senescence of the corneal endothelium We collected the corneal endothelia from 30 mice aged 10-13 weeks and the corneal endothelia from 30 mice aged 2 years. The samples were pooled into six groups (y1, y2, y3 and s1, s2, s3). Each group comprised corneal endothelia from ten mice, and these six groups were used for a genome-wide microRNA microarray study.

Whole blood expression profiling from a general population (KORA F4)

Project description:The development of whole genome association studies from the general population has lead to the robust identification of several loci involved in different common human diseases. Interestingly, most of the strongest signals of association observed in these studies arise from non-coding regions, raising the possibility that these regions are involved in the etiology of the disease through regulatory mechanisms. These findings highlight the importance of better understanding the inter-individual differences in gene expression in humans. Aim of the study was to search for biomarker, to identify eQTLs and to elucidate whether whole-blood eQTLs allow to identify putative functional variants involved in the etiology of complex traits. For more information about the KORA F4 study, please see http://www.helmholtz-muenchen.de/en/kora-en/information-for-scientists/current-kora-studies/f4-study/index.html .

Transcriptional profile of PBMCs in patients with acute RSV or Influenza infection

Project description:To study the transcriptional profile of patients with acute RSV or Influenza infection,children of median age 2.4 months (range 1.5-8.6) hospitalized with acute RSV and influenza virus infection were offered study enrollment after microbiologic confirmation of the diagnosis. Blood samples were collected from them within 42-72 hours of hospitalization. We excluded children with suspected or proven polymicrobial infections, with underlying chronic medical conditions (i.e congenital heart disease, renal insufficiency), with immunodeficiency, or those who received systemic steroids or other immunomodulatory therapies. The RSV cohort consisted of 51 patients with median age of 2 months (range 1.5-3.9) and the influenza cohort had 28 patients with median age of 5.5 months (range 1.4-21). Control samples were obtained from healthy children undergoing elective surgical procedures or at outpatient clinic visits. To exclude viral co-infections we performed nasopharyngeal viral cultures of all subjects. We recruited 10 control patients for the RSV cohort with median age of 6.7 months (range 5-10), and 12 control patients for the influenza cohort with median age of18.5 months (range 10.5-26).
