Histone H3 lysine 9 tri-methylation is associated with pterygium

ABSTRACT: Pterygium, abnormal growths of conjunctival tissue onto the cornea, are common ocular surface conditions with a high risk of recurrence after surgery and potential ophthalmic complications. The exact cause of pterygium remains unclear, and the triggers are still unknown. In this study, we investigate the epigenetic profiles of patients with pterygium, focusing on histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) and lysine 9 (H3K9) trimethylation (me3). While H3K4me3 levels showed no significant genome-wide change, they were significantly altered in genes related to development and ocular diseases. Conversely, H3K9me3 levels were markedly elevated genome-wide, particularly at the promoters of 82 genes involved in developmental pathways. Furthermore, we identify six genes, ANK2, AOAH, CBLN2, CDH8, CNTNAP4, and DPP6, with decreased gene expression correlated with substantially increased H3K9me3, suggesting their potential as biomarkers for pterygium. This study represents the first report linking histone modification to pterygium progression, providing valuable insights into therapeutic strategies and potential drug targets.

Rapid 3D Bioprinting of Multicellular Model Recapitulating Pterygium Microenvironment

Project description:Pterygium is an ocular surface disorder with high prevalence that can lead to vision impairment. As a pathological outgrowth of conjunctiva, pterygium involves neovascularization and chronic inflammation, but its pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Over the last decade, various types of disease models have been built to study pterygium. Here, we developed a 3D multicellular in vitro pterygium model using the digital light processing (DLP)-based 3D bioprinting of human conjunctival stem cells (hCjSCs). A novel feeder-free culture system was adopted and efficiently expanded the primary hCjSCs with homogeneity, stemness and differentiation potency. The DLP-based 3D bioprinting was able to fabricate hydrogel scaffolds that support the viability and biological integrity of the encapsulated hCjSCs. The bioprinted 3D pterygium model was fabricated with hCjSCs, immune cells and vascular cells to recapitulate the disease microenvironment. Transcriptomic analysis using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) identified a distinct profile correlated to inflammation response, angiogenesis, and epithelial mesenchymal transition in the bioprinted 3D pterygium model. In addition, the pterygium signatures and disease relevance of the bioprinted model were validated with the public RNA-seq data from patient-derived pterygium tissues. By integrating the stem cell technology and 3D bioprinting, this is the first reported 3D in vitro disease model for pterygium that can be utilized by future studies towards the personalized medicine and the drug screening.

Comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome-wide m6A methylome in pterygium by MeRIP sequencing

Project description:Aim: Pterygium is a common ocular surface disease, which is affected by a variety of factors. Invasion of the cornea can cause severe vision loss. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a common post-transcriptional modification of eukaryotic mRNA, which can regulate mRNA splicing, stability, nuclear transport, and translation. To our best knowledge, there is no current research on the mechanism of m6A in pterygium. Methods: We recruited 24 pterygium patients from Shanghai Yangpu Hospital, and the level of m6A modification was detected using an m6A RNA Methylation Quantification Kit. Expression and location of METTL3, a key m6A methyltransferase, were identified by immunostaining. Then we used m6A-modified RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq), RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and bioinformatics analyses to compare the differential expression of m6A methylation in pterygium and normal conjunctival tissue. Results: We identified 2949 dysregulated m6A peaks in pterygium tissue, of which 2145 were significantly upregulated and 804 were significantly downregulated. The altered m6A peak of genes were found to play a key role in the Hippo signaling pathway and endocytosis. Joint analyses of MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq data identified 72 hypermethylated m6A peaks and 15 hypomethylated m6A peaks in mRNA. After analyzing the differentially methylated m6A peaks and synchronously differentially expressed genes, we searched the Gene Expression Omnibus database and identified five genes related to the development of pterygium (DSP, MXRA5, ARHGAP35, TMEM43, and OLFML2A). Conclusion: Our research shows that m6A modification plays an important role in the development of pterygium and can be used as a potential new target for the treatment of pterygium in the future.

Expression profiling explores pathways involved in pterygium progression

Project description:Pterygium is an ocular surface disease that can cause visual impairment if it progressively invades the cornea. Although many pieces of research showed that ultraviolet radiation triggers pterygium pathological progress, the underlying mechanism in pterygium remains indistinct. In this study, we used microarray to evaluate the changes of transcripts between primary pterygium and adjacent normal conjunctiva samples in China, hoping to find underlying pathways involved in pterygium progression.

Differential regulation of microRNA in ocular wound healing

Project description:Pterygium is a relatively common human ocular surface fibroproliferative disease that affects vision. Endogenously produced microRNA (miRNA) regulates gene expression in various ocular surface diseases and possibly pterygium. We aimed to investigate the role of miRNA in pterygium. Paired human pterygium and conjunctival tissues were obtained from patients diagnosed with primary pterygium. miRNA microarray profiling identified statistically significant miRNA changes which were matched to reciprocal significant changes in their target transcripts. We employed quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and found that hsa-miR-766 was up-regulated (2.57-fold) whilst hsa-miR-215 was down-regulated (0.49-fold) in pterygium compared to conjunctival control. Localization of miRNA was performed using in-situ hybridization. Transcript levels of predicted hsa-miR-766 targets, nuclear receptor subfamily 4, group A, member 1 and epidermal growth factor-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 1, were down-regulated in pterygium compared to conjunctiva by 0.53- and 0.64-fold, respectively. Collagens type 3, alpha 1 and type 4, alpha 2, both targets of hsa-miR-215, were up-regulated in pterygium by 3.01- and 3.11-fold, respectively. These changes were confirmed in the protein levels using immunofluorescent staining. Derangement of hsa-miR-766 and hsa-miR-215 may cause dysregulation of matrix rearrangement, cell proliferation and adhesion proteins, resulting in pterygium formation. Targeting miRNA may be a possible therapeutic approach in this disease. 3 pterygium samples and 3 matched conjuctiva samples from patients diagnosed with primary pterygium. A pool of all 6 samples was used as the common reference.
