RNA-seq analyses of mouse retinal pigment epithelium cells

ABSTRACT: The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a monolayer of polarized epithelial cells lying between the retina and the choroid/sclera, with a major function in supporting photoreceptor homeostasis, but the role of RPE in eye size regulation is yet to be further explored. it was recently reported that selective deletion of Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 (Lrp2) in the mouse RPE resulted in large eyes, similar to the phenotypes of Lrp2 whole eye knockout mice, suggesting that the RPE is the tissue in which LRP2 functions. Here, to investigate which downstream pathways of Srebp2 and Lrp2 are responsible for regulating eye growth, we performed RNA-seq analysis with the mouse RPE tissues. Postnatal day 0 (P0) mice were injected with AAV8-Best1-GFP/nSrebp2/ctrl sh/Lrp2 sh1/Lrp2 sh2 viruses to overexpress the constitutively active form of Srebp2 or to knockdown Lrp2 in the RPE specifically. At P14, RPE cells were carefully dissociated for RNA extraction. Via RNA-seq analysis and functional validation, we identified that Bmp2 is the target and the effector of the Srebp2-Lrp2 pathway. Overall, the present study unveils an essential role of RPE in regulating eye size via the Srebp2-Lrp2-Bmp2 signaling pathway, shedding light on the underlying mechanism of eye size control.

Proteolytic processing of LRP2 on RPE cells regulates BMP activity to control eye size and refractive error

Project description:We compare dissected ocular tissues from wild-type and lrp2-/- mutant adult zebrafish in order to examine the genetic pathways underlying the enlarged eye phenotype observed in the absence of Lrp2. ABSTRACT: Mutations in LRP2, a transmembrane receptor, cause ocular enlargement and high-myopia. LRP2 is expressed by the RPE and eye ciliary epithelia, binding many extracellular ligands, including Bmp4 and Shh. Signaling mediated by LRP2 is very context-dependent, and how multiple pathways are coordinated is unknown. Transcriptome analyses of ocular tissues revealed that controlled, sustained BMP signaling from the RPE is critical for normal eye growth and emmetropia (proper refraction). Using human iPSC-derived RPE, and zebrafish, we demonstrate that BACE sheddase-dependent LRP2 cleavage produces a soluble domain that binds BMP4, inhibiting its signaling. We propose that controlled proteolytic cleavage of LRP2 makes two ligand-binding receptor forms available: a soluble BMP trap, and a membrane-bound RPE signaling facilitator. By modulating LRP2 cleavage, cells can fine-tune and coordinate multiple signaling pathways. This data supports the concept that LRP2 acts as a homeostasis node that buffers and integrates diverse signaling to regulate emmetropic eye growth.

Diurnal Gene Variation in Mouse Eye

Project description:The purpose of this study was to explore diurnal gene expression changes that occur in the RPE/Choroid/Sclera. Mice C57BL/6J were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME) and raised to approximately 2 months of age and entrained to a 12hr/12hr light/dark cycle for two weeks. Eye cups from male mice were rapidly dissected and RPE/ choroid/sclera tissues were collected over three consecutive diurnal cycles at Zeitgeber time (ZT) 0.5, 1, 1.5, 4, 11, 13, 16, and 23 hrs, for a total of 24 time points. Three mice were used for each time point and dissections for dark time points were done under dim-red light. To generate a reference RNA for microarray hybridization, whole eyes from equal numbers of male and female mice were collected at ZT6 and ZT7. Time: Samples were collected at the indicated Zeitgeber time points time series design

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of a circRNA, hsa_circ_0005505 regulated Transcriptomes in breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 lung metastatic cells LM2)

Project description:Purpose: hsa_circ_0005505 stably knockdown cells (circ-sh1 and circ-sh2) and its corresponing control cells (con-sh) were constructed using its specific shRNAs. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has used to examine hsa_circ_0005505 regulated transcripts. Methods: mRNA profiles of circsh1, circsh2 and con-sh were generated by deep sequencing using IlluminaI HiSeq 4000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays Results: We found 816 and 909 transcripts downregulated in circ-sh1 and circ-sh2 cells compared with con-sh cells, respectively. But 712 and 723 transcripts upregulated in circ-sh1 and circ-sh2 cells compared with con-sh cells, respectively. The differential expression with a fold change ≥1.5 and p value <0.05. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of hsa_circ_0005505-regulated transcripts in breast cancer cells.

Expression data from pooled RNA of various ocular tissues

Project description:The normal gene expression profiles of the tissues in the eye are a valuable resource for considering genes likely to be involved with disease processes. This is based on the assumption that transcript abundances in healthy tissue are correlated to the continued health of that tissue. Expression values were compared with publically available EST and RNA-sequencing resources. The estimated gene and exon level abundances are available online on the Ocular Tissue Database. Ten different tissues were obtained from 6 different individuals and RNA was pooled. The tissues included: retina, optic nerve head (ONH), optic nerve (ON), ciliary body (CB), trabecular meshwork (TM), sclera, lens, cornea, choroid/RPE and iris.

Transcriptomic analysis of the ocular posterior segment completes a cell atlas of the human eye

Project description:Although the visual system extends through the brain, most vision loss originates from defects in the eye. Its central element is the neural retina, which senses light, processes visual signals, and transmits them to the rest of the brain through the optic nerve (ON). Surrounding the retina are numerous other structures, conventionally divided into anterior and posterior segments. Here we used high-throughput single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) to classify and characterize cells in the extraretinal components of the posterior segment: ON, optic nerve head (ONH), peripheral sclera, peripapillary sclera (PPS), choroid, and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Defects in each of these tissues are associated with blinding diseases – for example, glaucoma (ONH and PPS), optic neuritis (ON), retinitis pigmentosa (RPE), and age-related macular degeneration (RPE and choroid). From ~151,000 single nuclei, we identified 37 transcriptomically distinct cell types, including multiple types of astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, fibroblasts, and vascular endothelial cells. Our analyses revealed a differential distribution of many cell types among distinct structures. Together with our previous analyses of the anterior segment and retina, the new data complete a “Version 1” cell atlas of the human eye. We used this atlas to map the expression of >180 genes associated with the risk of developing glaucoma, which is known to involve ocular tissues in both anterior and posterior segments as well as neural retina. Similar methods can be used to investigate numerous additional ocular diseases, many of which are currently untreatable.
