Project description:Several ocular diseases involve the iris, notably including oculocutaneous albinism, pigment dispersion syndrome, and exfoliation syndrome. To screen for candidate genes that may be active in these diseases, genome-wide iris gene expression patterns were comparatively analyzed from mouse models of these conditions. Irides were obtained from healthy C57Bl/6J, B6-Lystbg-J/J which carry a mutation in the Lyst gene, B6(Cg)-TyrC-2J/J which carry a mutation in the tyr gene, and B6.D2-Tryp1bGpnmbR150X/Sj with mutations in both Tryp1 and Gpnmb. Four eyes from two mice were pooled for one sample. Three samples were prepared for each strain.

Project description:The iris is a fine structure that controls the amount of light that enters the eye. Iris diseases that result in visual disability and blindness include iritis, primary angle closure glaucoma, and pigment dispersion syndrome. A detailed investigation of the proteome of the normal human iris may provide a foundation for new investigations into the iris biology and pathophysiology. We conducted an in-depth proteomic analysis of five normal irides. Proteins were fractionated using SDS-PAGE. After in-gel digestion, peptides were analyzed using LC-MS/MS on an Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer. We identified 3,000 non-redundant proteins in the human iris, including 26 unambiguous protein isoforms. The proteins identified in the iris included numerous proteins involved in smooth muscle motility, melanosome development, extracellular matrix, and selenoproteins involved in redox signaling. The MS proteome database of the human iris may serve as a valuable resource for future investigations of the eye in health and disease.

Project description:Tuberculosis Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (TB-IRIS) frequently complicates combined anti-retroviral therapy (ART) and anti-tubercular therapy in HIV-1 co-infected tuberculosis (TB) patients. The immunopathological mechanism underlying TB-IRIS is incompletely defined. Differential transcript abundance in PBMC from IRIS and control patients stimulated with heat killed H37Rv was determined by microarray Blood samples were collected during longitudinal observational studies of TB-IRIS patients and controls (both groups HIV-infected patients placed on antiretroviral treatment). PBMC were stimulated with heat killed H37Rv and RNA extracted.

Project description:Spontaneous mutations altering mouse coat colors have been a classic resource for discovery of numerous molecular pathways. Although often overlooked, the mouse iris is also densely pigmented and easily observed, thus representing a similarly powerful opportunity for studying pigment cell biology. Here, we present an analysis of iris phenotypes among 16 mouse strains with mutations influencing melanosomes. Many of these strains exhibit biologically and medically relevant phenotypes, including pigment dispersion, a common feature of several human ocular diseases. Pigment dispersion was identified in several strains with mutant alleles known to influence melanosomes, including beige, light, and vitiligo. Pigment dispersion was also detected in the recently arising spontaneous coat color variant, nm2798. We have identified the nm2798 mutation as a missense mutation in the Dct gene, an identical re-occurrence of the slaty light mutation. These results suggest that dysregulated events of melanosomes can be potent contributors to the pigment dispersion phenotype. Combined, these findings illustrate the utility of studying iris phenotypes as a means of discovering new pathways, and re-linking old ones, to processes of pigmented cells in health and disease.

Project description:Several ocular diseases involve the iris, notably including oculocutaneous albinism, pigment dispersion syndrome, and exfoliation syndrome. To screen for candidate genes that may contribute to the pathogenesis of these diseases, genome-wide iris gene expression patterns were comparatively analyzed from mouse models of these conditions.Iris samples from albino mice with a Tyr mutation, pigment dispersion-prone mice with Tyrp1 and Gpnmb mutations, and mice resembling exfoliation syndrome with a Lyst mutation were compared with samples from wild-type mice. All mice were strain (C57BL/6J), age (60 days old), and sex (female) matched. Microarrays were used to compare transcriptional profiles, and differentially expressed transcripts were described by functional annotation clustering using DAVID Bioinformatics Resources. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to validate a subset of identified changes.Compared with wild-type C57BL/6J mice, each disease context exhibited a large number of statistically significant changes in gene expression, including 685 transcripts differentially expressed in albino irides, 403 in pigment dispersion-prone irides, and 460 in exfoliative-like irides.Functional annotation clusterings were particularly striking among the overrepresented genes, with albino and pigment dispersion-prone irides both exhibiting overall evidence of crystallin-mediated stress responses. Exfoliative-like irides from mice with a Lyst mutation showed overall evidence of involvement of genes that influence immune system processes, lytic vacuoles, and lysosomes. These findings have several biologically relevant implications, particularly with respect to secondary forms of glaucoma, and represent a useful resource as a hypothesis-generating dataset.

Project description:Degeneration of the RPE leads to severe vision loss in, so far incurable, diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and some forms of retinitis pigmentosa. A promising future replacement therapy may be autologous iris epithelial cell transdifferentiation into RPE in vitro and, subsequently, transplantation. In this study we compared the gene expression profiles of the iris epithelium (IE) and the RPE.We compared the gene expression profiles of RPE and IE.

Project description:Transcriptome sequencing of non-model organisms is valuable resource of the genetic basis of ecological-meaningful traits. The Royal Irises, Iris section Oncocyclus (Iris: Iridaceae, order Asparagales), are a Middle-East group of species in the course of speciation. The species are characterized with extremely large flowers, a huge range of flower colors and a unique pollination system. The Royal Irises, which are a symbol of conservation in the Middle-east, serve as a model for evolutionary processes of speciation and plant ecology. However, there are not sufficient transcriptomic and genomic data for molecular characterization. Thus, it is necessary to generate massive transcript sequences for functional characterization and molecular marker development for the Royal Irises. The Iris transcriptome sequencing provides valuable resource for studying adaptation-associated traits in this non-model plant. Although intensive eco-evolutionary studies, this is the first reported transcriptome for the Royal Irises. The data available from this study will facilitate gene discovery, functional genomic studies and development of molecular markers in irises, and will provide genetic tools for their conservation.
