Project description:We performed a microarray screening of adult rat retinas to identify genes that could show and up- or down-regulation due to exposure to light. This study was performed using ex-vivo retinas collected from adult Long Evans rats that were exposed to light (1000 Lux), or were left in dark as control. All experiments were performed at the same hour, so that the contribution from the circadian rhythm would not affect the observations. The hours to which the experiment was performed were at 7am (always in dark), 10am (under 1000 lux) and as control 10am (always kept in dark), 1pm (under 1000 Lux) and 1pm (Always in dark).

Project description:Transcriptional profiles were compared between dark adapted and light damaged BALBc (albino) mouse retinas. Experiment Overall Design: BALBc mice were dark adapted for one week. To produce light damage a subset of the mice were then exposed to 6,000 lux white fluorescent light for 6 hours. Retinas were collected for RNA extraction 24 hours after light damage.

Project description:Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) degenerate in diseases like glaucoma and are not replaced in adult mammals. Here we investigate whether transplanted RGCs can integrate into the mature retina. We have transplanted GFP-labelled RGCs into uninjured rat retinas in vivo by intravitreal injection. Transplanted RGCs acquire the general morphology of endogenous RGCs, with axons orienting towards the optic nerve head of the host retina and dendrites growing into the inner plexiform layer. Preliminary data show in some cases GFP(+) axons extending within the host optic nerves and optic tract, reaching usual synaptic targets in the brain, including the lateral geniculate nucleus and superior colliculus. Electrophysiological recordings from transplanted RGCs demonstrate the cells' electrical excitability and light responses similar to host ON, ON-OFF and OFF RGCs, although less rapid and with greater adaptation. These data present a promising approach to develop cell replacement strategies in diseased retinas with degenerating RGCs.

Project description:Interfacing organic electronics with biological substrates offers new possibilities for biotechnology due to the beneficial properties exhibited by organic conducting polymers. These polymers have been used for cellular interfaces in several fashions, including cellular scaffolds, neural probes, biosensors and actuators for drug release. Recently, an organic photovoltaic blend has been exploited for neuronal stimulation via a photo-excitation process. Here, we document the use of a single-component organic film of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) to trigger neuronal firing upon illumination. Moreover, we demonstrate that this bio-organic interface restored light sensitivity in explants of rat retinas with light-induced photoreceptor degeneration. These findings suggest that all-organic devices may play an important future role in sub-retinal prosthetic implants.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of 3D-retinas differentiated from mouse iPS cells comparing vehicle control- with 4-OHT-treated. 4-OHT is an inverse agonist of estrogen-related receptor beta (ERRβ), a rod-enriched transcription factor responsible for maintenance of rod photoreceptor cells and the treatment induces photoreceptor specific cell death in the 3D-retinas. Goal was to understand the mechanism of 4-OHT-induced degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the 3D-retinas. 4-OHT-induced gene expression in the 3D-retinas was measured at DD 26 when the photoreceptor cells were degenerated. Two-condition experiment, vehicle control- vs. 5 µM 4-OHT-treated 3D-retinas. Biological replicates: each sample has 24 3D-retinas and 1 replicate.

Project description:As a metabolic disease, diabetes often leads to health complications such as heart failure, nephropathy, neurological disorders, and vision loss. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) affects as many as 100 million people worldwide. The mechanism of DR is complex and known to impact both neural and vascular components in the retina. While recent advances in the field have identified major cellular signaling contributing to DR pathogenesis, little has been reported on the protein post-translational modifications (PTM) -known to define protein localization, function, and activity -in the diabetic retina overall. Protein glycosylation is the enzymatic addition of carbohydrates to proteins, which can influence many protein attributes including folding, stability, function, and subcellular localization. Olinked glycosylation is the addition of sugars to an oxygen atom in amino acids with a free oxygen atom in their side chain (i.e., threonine, serine). To date, more than 100 congenital disorders of glycosylation have been described. However, no studies have identified the retinal O-linked glycoproteome in health or disease. With a critical need to expedite the discovery of PTMomics in diabetic retinas, we identified both global changes in protein levels and the retinal O-glycoproteome of control and diabetic mice. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomics and high throughput screening identified proteins differentially glycosylated in the retinas of wildtype and diabetic mice. Here, we provide evidence that diabetes shifts O-glycosylation of metabolic and synaptic proteins in the retina.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of 3D-retinas differentiated from mouse iPS cells comparing vehicle control with 4-OHT-treated w/o supplements. 4-OHT is an inverse agonist of estrogen-related receptor beta (ERRβ), a rod-enriched transcription factor responsible for maintenance of rod photoreceptor cells and the treatment induces photoreceptor specific cell death in the 3D-retinas. Goal was to understand the mechanism of protective effects of representative ophthalmic supplements for treating the photoreceptor degeneration. 4-OHT w/o supplements-induced gene expression in the 3D-retinas was measured at DD 25 when the photoreceptor cells started to be degenerated. Four-condition experiment, vehicle control- vs. 5 µM 4-OHT- vs. 5 µM 4-OHT with 400 µM vitamin E- vs. 5 µM 4-OHT with 200 nM lutein-treated 3D-retinas. Biological replicates: each sample has 24 3D-retinas and 1replicate.
