Gene expression data on human optic nerve head astrocytes in normal Caucasian and African americans

ABSTRACT: To determine whether optic nerve head astrocytes, a key cellular component of glaucomatous neuropathy, exhibit differential gene expression in primary culture of astrocytes from normal African American donors, compared to astrocytes from normal Caucasian American donors. All donors have no histories of eye disease, diabetes, or chronic CNS disease. Keywords: Gene expression profile

Transcription profiling of human optic nerve head astrocytes in normal Caucasian and African americans

Project description:To determine whether optic nerve head astrocytes, a key cellular component of glaucomatous neuropathy, exhibit differential gene expression in primary culture of astrocytes from normal African American donors, compared to astrocytes from normal Caucasian American donors. All donors have no histories of eye disease, diabetes, or chronic CNS disease. Experiment Overall Design: We divided samples into two groups: normal Caucasian American and normal African American. We analyzed data from Affymetrix Human Genome Human Genome U133A and U133A 2.0 chips.

microRNA expression in serum exosomes from Caucasian and African American breast cancer patients

Project description:There is drastic racial disparities between Caucasian (CA) and African American (AA) for breast cancer. Circulating microRNAs exhibit stability and may serve as biomarkers in clinical settings. To discover potential microRNAs that mediate intercellular crosstalk and as biomarkers underlying the breast cancer racial disparity, serum exosomes from CA and AA were extracted and analyzed for its microRNA contents using small RNA sequencing.

Regional Gene Expression in the Retina, Optic Nerve Head, and Optic Nerve of Mice with Optic Nerve Crush and Experimental Glaucoma

Project description:A major risk factor for glaucomatous optic neuropathy is the level of intraocular pressure (IOP), which can lead to retinal ganglion cell axon injury and cell death. The optic nerve has a rostral unmyelinated portion at the optic nerve head followed by a caudal myelinated region. The unmyelinated region is differentially susceptible to IOP-induced damage in rodent models and in human glaucoma. While several studies have analyzed gene expression changes in the mouse optic nerve following optic nerve injury, few were designed to consider the regional gene expression differences that exist between these distinct areas. We performed bulk RNA-sequencing on the retina and on separately micro-dissected unmyelinated and myelinated optic nerve regions from naïve C57BL/6 mice, mice after optic nerve crush, and mice with microbead-induced experimental glaucoma (total = 36). Gene expression patterns in the naïve unmyelinated optic nerve showed significant enrichment of the Wnt, Hippo, PI3K-Akt, and transforming growth factor β pathways, as well as extracellular matrix–receptor and cell membrane signaling pathways, compared to the myelinated optic nerve and retina. Gene expression changes induced by both injuries were more extensive in the myelinated optic nerve than the unmyelinated region, and greater after nerve crush than glaucoma. Changes present three and fourteen days after injury largely subsided by six weeks. Gene markers of reactive astrocytes did not consistently differ between injury states. Overall, the transcriptomic phenotype of the mouse unmyelinated optic nerve was significantly different from immediately adjacent tissues, likely dominated by expression in astrocytes, whose junctional complexes are inherently important in responding to IOP elevation.
