Project description:Mutations in the solute-linked carrier family 4 member 11 (SLC4A11) gene are associated with several corneal endothelial dystrophies, in all of which visually significant cornea edema may require corneal transplantation. To elucidate the pathogenesis of SLC4A11 associated corneal endothelial dystrophies, we analyzed the transcriptome of immortalized mouse corneal endothelial cells (Slc4a11-/- MCEnC) and Slc4a11+/+ MCEnC as controls.

Project description:PURPOSE. Limbal stem/progenitor cells (LSC) continuously proliferate and differentiate to replenish the corneal epithelium and play a vital role in corneal function and normal vision. Previous study revealed that Paired box 6 (PAX6) is a master transcription factor involved in determining the fate of corneal epithelial cells (CEC). However, the molecular events downstream of PAX6 remain largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to clarify the regulation network of PAX6 in driving CEC differentiation. METHODS. An air-liquid culture system was used to differentiate LSC into mature CEC. Specific targeting PAX6 short-hairpin shRNAs were used to knock down PAX6 in LSC. RNA-seq was used to analyze shPAX6-transfected CEC and CEC differentiation-associated genes to identify the potential downstream targets of PAX6. RNA-seq analysis, quantitative real-time PCR, and immunofluorescence staining were performed to clarify the function of WNK lysine deficient protein kinase 2 (WNK2), a downstream target of PAX6, and its relationship with corneal diseases. RESULTS. WNK2 expression increased during CEC differentiation and decreased upon PAX6 depletion. The distribution of WNK2 was specifically limited to the central corneal epithelium and suprabasal layer of the limbus. Knockdown of WNK2 impaired the expression of CEC-specific markers (KRT12, ALDH3A1, and CLU), disrupted the corneal differentiation process, and activated the terms of keratinization, inflammation, and cell proliferation, consistent with PAX6-depleted CEC and published microbial keratitis. Thus, aberrant expression of WNK2 was linked to corneal ulcers. CONCLUSIONS. As a downstream target of PAX6, WNK2 plays an essential role in corneal epithelial cell differentiation and maintenance of corneal homeostasis.

Project description:Whole human conjunctivae and human corneas were obtained from the National Disease Research Interchange (NDRI, Philadelphia, PA) and processed between 48 - 72 hr of death. No donor details apart from age, sex and cause of death were released. Criteria for inclusion were donor ages between 25 - 65 years old and overt physical integrity of the epithelium over the central cornea as revealed by a quick stain with 0.1 % Trypan blue. For each replicate experiment (Conjunctiva 1 and Cornea 1; Conjunctiva 2 and Cornea 2;Conjunctiva 3 and Cornea 3), RNA from two different corneal or conjunctival specimens was pooled and converted into cDNA. Appropriately fragmented biotin-labeled cRNA was hybridized to the HG-U133A GeneChips® (Affymetrix) oligonucleotide microarray following the manufacture protocol. Three separate experiments each including one conjunctival and one corneal cRNA pool were performed (Conjunctiva 1 and Cornea 1; Conjunctiva 2 and Cornea 2;Conjunctiva 3 and Cornea 3).

Project description:The cornea, composed of epithelium, stroma and endothelium, protects the anterior compartment of the eye from damage and allows transmission of light into the eye. While well described morphologically, no studies have investigated the global gene expression changes in the cornea throughout the mouse’s life. We characterized the global gene expression profile of mouse cornea from early development through aging, and compared to gene expression in other epithelial tissue, to identify cornea enriched genes, pathways, and transcriptional regulators. We identified Ehf, an ets family transcription factor, as being highly selectively expressed in the corneal epithelium compared to the stroma, and highly expressed in cornea compared to other epithelial tissues. siRNA experiments and Ehf ChIP-Seq on mouse corneal epithelium confirm the role of this factor in promoting epithelial identity and cell differentiation, and suggest it carries out these functions through interactions with other cornea epithelial differentiation factors including Klf4.

Whole eye globes were dissected from wild type CB6 mice. Corneal epithelium was isolated by digestion in 50% EMEM/dispase II with 50 mM sorbitol for two hours at 37M-BM-0C. ChIP was performed with an Ehf antibody, and was sequenced with an input control.

Project description:The transparent corneal epithelium in the eye is maintained through the homeostasis regulated by limbal stem cells, while the non-transparent epidermis relies on epidermal keratinocytes for renewal. Despite their cellular similarities, the precise cell fates of these two types of epithelial stem cells, which give rise to functionally distinct epithelia, remain unknown. We performed a multi-omics analysis of human limbal stem cells from the cornea and keratinocytes from the epidermis and characterized their molecular signatures, highlighting their similarities and differences. Through gene regulatory network analyses, we identified shared and cell type-specific transcription factors that define specific cell fates, and established their regulatory hierarchy. Single-cell RNA-seq analyses of the cornea and the epidermis confirmed these shared and cell type-specific transcription factors. Notably, the shared and limbal stem cell-specific transcription factors can cooperatively target genes associated with corneal opacity. Importantly, we discovered that FOSL2, a direct PAX6 target gene, is a novel candidate associated with corneal opacity, and it regulates genes implicated in corneal diseases. By characterizing molecular signatures, our study unveils the regulatory circuitry governing the limbal stem cell fate and its association with corneal opacity.
