Single-cell RNA sequencing of the retina in a model of retinitis pigmentosa reveals early responses to degeneration in rods and cones

ABSTRACT: In inherited retinal disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP), rod photoreceptor-specific mutations cause primary rod degeneration that is followed by secondary cone death and loss of high-acuity vision. Mechanistic studies of retinal degeneration are challenging because of retinal heterogeneity. Moreover, the detection of early cone responses to rod death is especially difficult due to the paucity of cones in the retina. To resolve heterogeneity in the degenerating retina and investigate events in both types of photoreceptors during primary rod degeneration, we utilized droplet-based single-cell RNA sequencing in an RP mouse model, rd10.

Epigenomic Landscapes of Retinal Rods and Cones

Project description:Both rod and cone photoreceptors are critical for mammalian vision yet they have important functional differences. In this study, we investigate patterns of DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility in mouse rods and cones. Unexpectedly, we find that a substantial fraction of hypo-methylated regions in the rod methylome are in inaccessible chromatin. These regions show marks of active regulatory regions earlier in neuronal development and could remain undermethylated in adult rods due to their highly compact chromatin. We further identify rod- and cone-enriched regions of accessible chromatin that correspond with cell type-specificity of nearby photoreceptor gene expression. We predict novel DNA signatures of rod and cone specificity and show that NR2E3 function is necessary for rods to gain their complete ensemble of epigenomic features. Taken together, our data capture the epigenomic landscapes of retinal rods and cones, including differences relevant to chromatin structure and photoreceptor biology.

rd10 transcriptome analysis

Project description:Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a photoreceptor disease that affects approximately 100,000 people in the United States. There are currently very limited treatment options and the prognosis for most patients is progressive vision loss. Unfortunately, the understanding of the molecular underpinnings of RP initiation and progression is still poorly understood. However, the development of animal models of RP, coupled with high-throughput sequencing, has provided an opportunity to study the underlying cellular and molecular changes of this disease. Using RNA-Seq, we present the first retinal transcriptome analysis of the rd10 murine model of retinal degeneration. RNA-Seq on whole-retina samples from rd10, wild-type and GFP-expressing mouse retina. Three biological replicates of each.

Preservation of cone photoreceptors after a rapid yet transient degeneration and remodeling in cone-only Nrl-/- mouse retina

Project description:Cone photoreceptors are the primary initiator of visual transduction in the human retina. Dysfunction or death of rod photoreceptors precedes cone loss in many retinal and macular degenerative diseases, suggesting a rod-dependent trophic support for cone survival. Rod differentiation and homeostasis are dependent on the basic motif leucine zipper transcription factor NRL. The loss of Nrl in mice (Nrl-/-) results in a retina with predominantly S-opsin containing cones that exhibit molecular and functional characteristics of WT cones. Here we report that Nrl-/- retina undergoes a rapid but transient period of degeneration in early adulthood, with cone apoptosis, retinal detachment, alterations in retinal vessel structure, and activation and translocation of retinal microglia. However, cone degeneration stabilizes by four months of age, resulting in a thinned but intact outer nuclear layer with residual cones expressing S- and M-opsins and a preserved photopic ERG. At this stage, microglia translocate back to the inner retina and reacquire a quiescent morphology. Gene profiling analysis during the period of transient degeneration reveals misregulation of stress response and inflammation genes, implying their involvement in cone death. The Nrl-/- retina illustrates the long-term viability of cones in the absence of rods and may serve as a model for elucidating mechanisms of cone homeostasis and degeneration that would be relevant to understanding diseases of the cone-dominant human macula. Targets were generated from a pair of retinas (one Nrl-/- mouse) per biological replicate. Four biological replicates were generated for each of the five aging timepoints (1, 2, 4, 6, and 10 months post natal).

E3 SUMO ligase PIAS3 fine-tunes dorsoventral patterning and visual response of cones in the mouse retina but is not essential for photoreceptor cell fate specification

Project description:Differentiation of distinct neurons in the developing retina is controlled by combinatorial action of a small subset of transcription factors and signalling molecules. Protein inhibitor of activated STAT3 (PIAS3) has been implicated in guiding the specification of both rod and cone photoreceptors through posttranslational modification of key retinal transcription factors. To investigate its role during retinal development, we deleted exon 2-5 of the mouse Pias3 gene, which resulted in complete loss of the PIAS3 protein. Pias3-/- mice did not exhibit any overt phenotype, and retinal lamination appeared normal by histology even at 18 months. We detected reduced photopic b-wave amplitude by electroretinography (ERG) analysis following green light stimulation of Pias3-/- retina at postnatal day (P) 21, suggesting a compromised visual response of medium wavelength (M) cones. No change was evident in response of short wavelength (S) cones or rod photoreceptors until 7 months. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated altered distribution of cone photoreceptors as revealed by increased S-opsin expression in the M-cone dominant dorsal retina. Transcriptome profiling of P21 and 18-month old Pias3-/- retina revealed aberrant expression of genes associated with photoreceptor function. Our studies suggest redundancy in SUMOylation-associated transcriptional control mechanisms and identify a specific though limited role of PIAS3 in modulating spatial patterning and optimal function of cone photoreceptor subtypes in the mouse retina.

GENE EXPRESSION CHANGES WITHIN MÜLLER GLIAL CELLS DURING RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA

Project description:Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive retinal degeneration in which the retina loses nearly all of its photoreceptor cells and undergoes major structural changes. Little is known regarding the role the resident glia, the Müller glia, play in the progression of the disease. Here we define gene expression changes in Müller glial cells (MGCs) from two different mouse models of RP, the retinal degeneration 1 (rd1) and rhodopsin knock-out (Rhod-ko) models. The RNA repertoire of 28 single MGCs was comprehensively profiled, and a comparison was made between MGC from wild type (WT) and mutant retinas. Two time points were chosen for analysis, one at the peak of rod photoreceptor death and one during the period of cone photoreceptor death. MGCs have been shown to respond to retinal degeneration by undergoing gliosis, a process marked by the upregulation of GFAP. In this data, many additional transcripts were found to change. These can be placed into functional clusters, such as retinal remodeling, stress response, and immune related response. It is noteworthy that a high degree of heterogeneity among the individual cells was observed, possibly due to their different spatial proximities to dying cells, and/or inherent heterogeneity among MGCs.

Proteomic profiling reveals central role of STAT signaling during retinal degeneration in the rd10 mouse model

Project description:The rd10 mouse is a model of retinitis pigmentosa characterized by the dysfunction of a rod-photoreceptor-specific phosphodiesterase. Compared to the rd1 mouse, retinal degeneration in the rd10 mouse begins later in age with a milder phenotype, making it ideal for investigating cell death and neuroprotective mechanisms. Alterations in the rd10 retina proteome at pre-, peak-, and post-degenerative time points were examined using a modified high-recovery filter-aided sample preparation (FASP) method and label-free mass spectrometry, generating a unique proteomic dataset on almost 3000 proteins. Our data confirmed a period of protein expression similar to age-matched wild-type mice pre-degeneration, with decreases in proteins associated with phototransduction and increases in signaling proteins at peak- and post-degenerative stages. 123 proteins were differentially expressed the rd10 retinae during peak-degeneration compared to wild-type mice. Network analysis separated these proteins into a cluster of downregulated photoreceptor proteins, and one of upregulated signaling proteins centered around GFAP, STAT3, and STAT1. This is the first study to identify alterations in STAT1 in the rd10 mouse, which were confirmed with gene expression and immunoblotting experiments. This finding proves the efficacy of our approach, and that this dataset could serve as an information source for protein alterations in retinal degeneration.

Transcriptome dynamics of developing photoreceptors in 3-D retina cultures recapitulates temporal sequence of human cone and rod differentiation revealing cell surface markers and gene networks

Project description:To define molecular mechanisms underlying rod and cone differentiation, we generated H9 human embryonic stem cell line carrying a GFP reporter that is controlled by the promoter of cone-rod homeobox (CRX) gene, the first known marker of post-mitotic photoreceptor precursors. CRXp-GFP reporter in H9 line replicates endogenous CRX expression when induced to form self-organizing 3-D retina-like tissue. We define temporal transcriptome dynamics of developing photoreceptors during the establishment of cone and rod cell fate. Our studies provide an essential framework for delineating molecules and cellular pathways that guide human photoreceptor development and should assist in chemical screening and cell-based therapies of retinal degeneration.
