Identification and characterization of extrachromosomal circular DNA in patients with high myopia and cataract

ABSTRACT: To explore the presence of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) in the anterior capsule of the lens in the eyes of patients with cataract and with high myopia. Circle-Seq was performed to identify differences in the eccDNA and gene expression between the anterior capsule of the lens of patients with simple nuclear cataract (C, n = 6) and patients with nuclear cataract along with high myopia (HM, n = 6). The expression of eccDNA was confirmed using routine quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The eccDNA ranked in C and HM ranged in length from 0.017 kb – 9.9 Mb with two distinctive peaks detected at 0.2 kb and 0.5 kb, while eccDNA that were differentially expressed (up- and down-regulated) ranged in size from 0.05 kb – 57.8 kb with two distinctive peaks observed at 0.1 kb and 0.5 kb. Only 2.5 % of the eccDNA in C and 2 % in HM were > 25 kb in size. The gene-rich chromosomes contributed to more number of eccDNA/Mb, while several well-known high myopia candidate genes, including catenin delta 2 (CTNND2), ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains 1 binding protein 1 like (UHRF1BP1L) , exhibited significantly increased levels of eccDNA in the anterior capsule of the lens in patients with high myopia. This study highlighted the topologic analysis of the anterior capsule of eyes with high myopia, which is an emerging direction for research and clinical applications. These findings suggested that eccDNA was commonly detected in eyes with high myopia and cataracts, and the candidate genes for high myopia identified in previous studies were also observed in the eccDNA.

Injury response of human lens epithelial cells ex-vivo

Project description:This study investigates the response of human lens epithelial cells to mechanical injury. Human geriatric lenses obtained from cadaver eyes from donated to an eye bank for research were subject to in-vitro capsulotomy mimicking the injury sustained during cataract surgery. The anterior capsule was dissected using a curvilinear capsulorhexis technique, and central lens epithelial cells attached to the patch of anterior capsule (Rhexis) were immediately stabilized in RNAlater. The fiber cells were then removed, and the cortical fibers were immediately stabilized in RNA later. The remaining equatorial lens epithelial cells attached to the capsular bag from one eye were stabilized in RNA later immediately while the equatorial lens epithelial cells from the other eye were cultured for 24 hours then stabilized in RNAlater.

microRNA profiling in the aqueous humor of highly myopic eyes by next generation sequencing

Project description:Purpose: To characterize microRNAs (miRNAs) and their possible roles in high myopia by using next generation sequencing Methods: Aqueous humor samples were obtained from 15 highly myopic eyes and 15 cataract eyes at the onset of surgery. miRNA next generation sequencing and bioinformatics analyses were performed using RNA extracted from aqueous humor samples. Results: A total of 341 miRNAs were detected in the aqueous humor samples of highly myopic eyes; 201 miRNAs were detected in the aqueous humor samples of cataractous control eyes. A total of 249 mature miRNAs and 17 novel miRNAs were differentially expressed during myopia. Possible pathways regulated by these aberrantly expressed miRNAs included the TNF, MAPK, PI3K-Akt, and HIF-1 signaling pathways. Conclusions: The current study provided an overall view of miRNA profiling in the aqueous humor of highly myopic eyes. These profiles may be associated with myopia pathogenesis, and are potential biomarkers.

Peroxidasin is essential for eye development

Project description:Mutations in Peroxidasin (PXDN) cause severe inherited eye disorders in humans, such as congenital cataract, corneal opacity, and developmental glaucoma. The role of peroxidasin during eye development is poorly understood. Here we describe the first Pxdn mouse mutant which was induced by ENU (N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea) and led to a recessive phenotype. Sequence analysis of cDNA revealed a T3816A mutation resulting in a premature stop codon (Cys1272X) in the peroxidase domain. This mutation causes severe anterior segment dysgenesis and microphthalmia resembling the manifestations in patients with PXDN mutations. The proliferation and differentiation of the lens is disrupted in association with aberrant expression of transcription factor genes (Pax6 and Foxe3) in mutant eyes. Additionally, Pxdn is involved in the consolidation of the basement membrane and lens epithelium adhesion in the ocular lens. Lens material including γ-crystallin is extruded into the anterior and posterior chamber due to local loss of structural integrity of the lens capsule as a secondary damage to the anterior segment development leading to congenital ocular inflammation. Moreover, Pxdn mutants exhibited an early-onset glaucoma and progressive retinal dysgenesis. Transcriptome profiling revealed that peroxidasin affects the transcription of developmental and eye diseases-related genes at early eye development. These findings suggest that peroxidasin is necessary for cell proliferation and differentiation and for basement membrane consolidation during eye development. Our studies provide pathogenic mechanisms of PXDN mutation-induced congenital eye diseases.

The influence of sex and age on the lens injury response

Project description:The purpose of this study was to investigate/characterize age- and sex-dependent changes in transcriptomic profile in a mouse model of cataract surgery that mimics human cataract surgery. This surgery involves the removal of lens fiber cells (LFC) leaving behind the lens capsule and associated lens epithelial cells (LEC). The lens capsule and associated remnant LECs were harvested either following cataract surgery (0 hour) or 24 hours later. Fiber cells were collected at the time of surgery, equivalent to 0 hour, and analyzed separately from epithelial cells. For samples from LEC, each biological replicate is a pool of 5 lens capsules from 5 independent mice. For samples from LFC, each biological replicate is a pool of 2 fiber cell masses from two independent mice. Mice were either 24 months old (Aged), or 3 months old (Young).

Comparative Proteomic AnalyComparative Proteomic Analysis of Aqueous Humor Reveals Biochemical Disparities in Eyes of High Myopic Patientssis of Aqueous Humor Reveals Biochemical Disparities in Eyes of High Myopic Patients

Project description:The pathogenesis of myopia involves different molecular mechanisms and pathways, which can be reflected in the aqueous humor. In our study, aqueous humor was collected for liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer (LC/MS) analysis from 30 individual eyes that underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. A total of 190 DEPs (differentially expressed proteins) were identified, which revealed their involvement in pathways such as carbon metabolism, lipid, and cholesterol metabolism, ECM (extracellular matrix) component regulation, and scleral remodeling in the context of high myopia. Further analysis revealed 15 interacting hub proteins, encompassing functions related to lipoprotein assembly, regulation, complement cascades, and fibrin formation. Subsequent validation demonstrated elevated levels of APOE (apolipoprotein E), C3 (complement 3), and AHSG (alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein) in the high myopia group (31 eyes of cataracts and 45 eyes of high myopia with cataracts), while AHSG had a significant positive correlation with axial length in patients with high myopia and good efficacy in distinguishing between myopic and non-myopic groups. These results suggested that the interaction of lipoproteins, complement cascades, and the fibrinolytic system played a pivotal role in the pathological process of myopia, while the metabolism of essential materials and the remodeling of ECM and tissue structure were affected in the eyes of individuals with high myopia.

Smurf1 modulates Smad signaling pathway in fibrotic cataract formation [mouse_ASC]

Project description:Purpose: TGF-β/BMP signaling pathway has a significant role in fibrotic cataract. Smurf1, a ubiquitin protein ligase, regulates the TGF-β/BMP signaling pathway through the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). This study aims to investigate the role of Smurf1 in the progression of fibrotic cataract and its underlying mechanism.Method: We employed a mouse injury-induced anterior subcapsular cataract (ASC) model and administered Smurf1 inhibitor A01 through anterior chamber injection for in vivo investigation. RNA sequencing was performed to examine global gene expression changes. The volume of the subcapsular opacity was determined using whole-mount immunofluorescence of lens anterior capsules. Lentivirus was utilized to create cell lines with Smurf1 knockdown or overexpression in SRA01/04. Protein levels were assessed by Simple Western. Lens epithelial cell (LEC) proliferation was evaluated by CCK8 and EdU assays. LEC migration was measured by Transwell and wound healing assays.Results: The mRNA levels of genes associated with cell proliferation, migration, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), TGF-β/BMP pathway and UPS, including Smurf1, were upregulated in ASC model. The mRNA expression of Smurf1 was also upregulated in anterior lens capsules of age-related cataract patients. Anterior chamber injection of A01 inhibited ASC formation and EMT. In vitro knockdown of Smurf1 resulted in reduced proliferation, TGF-β2-induced migration and EMT of LECs. Smurf1 inhibition upregulated Smad1, Smad5 and pSmad1/5. Conversely, Smurf1 overexpression displayed the opposite phenotypes.Conclusion: Smurf1 regulated the progression of fibrotic cataract by influencing the proliferation, migration and EMT of LECs through regulation of Smad signaling pathway, offering a novel target for the treatment of fibrotic cataract.

Expression analysis of chicken chorioretinal tissues in control and myopic eyes with or without violet light

Project description:To find the possible molecular mechanism of myopia protection by violet light, we performed expression microarray analysis of chick chorioretinal tissue. The mRNA were obtained at day 13 from the following four groups: control eyes with or without violet light exposure and covered eyes with or without violet light exposure, and then the gene expression pattern was compared among them. Principle component analysis, which is to find major patterns of variability in gene expression, was performed and we found that the largest gene population (PC1, positive: n = 138, negative: n = 292) was affected by violet light treatment. On the other hand, the second largest gene population (PC2, positive: n = 120, negative: n = 23) was affected in the eyes covered with a plastic lens. The previously reported myopia-related genes such as Bmp2, Ednrb, Fgf2, Igf1, Il18, Irbp, Lumican, Sfrp1, Tgfb1, Vegfa, Vip, and Wnt2b were not found in the PC1 group in vivo, which indicates that they responded less to violet light. In the PC1 group, only one myopia protective gene, EGR1 (ZENK, zif268), was found among the previously reported myopia related genes.
