Project description:PURPOSE: To investigate the circulatory microRNA (miRNA) profiles of aqueous, vitreous, and plasma in order to identify biomarkers in aqueous humor or plasma that are reflecting changes in vitreous of patients with diabetes. METHODS: Aqueous, vitreous and plasma samples were collected from a total of 27 patients - 11 controls (macular pucker or macular hole patients) and 16 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing vitreoretinal surgery: DM-Type I with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) (DMI-PDR), DM Type II with PDR (DMII-PDR) and DM Type II with nonproliferative DR (DMII-NPDR). MiRNAs were isolated using Qiagen microRNeasy kit, quantified on BioAnalyzer, labeled with FlashTag kit, and profiled on Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 3.0 microarrays. Data analysis was done using Expression Console (EC), Transcriptome Analysis Console (TAC), and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software. RESULTS: Our comparison of circulatory miRNA population of aqueous and vitreous humor and plasma showed that out of total of 847 human miRNA probes on the Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 3.0 we found common miRNAs for both aqueous and vitreous samples, as well as larger number of unique miRNA, dependent on the DM type and presence of retinopathy. Most of the dysregulated miRNAs in aqueous and vitreous of DM patients were upregulated, while in plasma, most of the DM-specific miRNAs were downregulated. Dysregulation of miRNAs in aqueous generally do not appear to be a good representative of the miRNA abundance in vitreous, or plasma, although we did identify a few candidates for common biomarkers: let-7b, miR-320b, miR-762 and miR-4488. Additionally, each of the DR subtypes showed a set of miRNA that is uniquely dysregulated in each fluid, for example in aqueous samples for DMII-NPDR it was miR-455-3p, for DMII-PDR was miR-296, and for DMI-PDR it was miR-3202. Pathway analysis identified TGF-beta and VEGF pathways as the common targets for miRNAs dysregulated in DR aqueous and vitreous. CONCLUSIONS: The comparative profiling of circulatory miRNAs in aqueous, vitreous, and plasma showed that a small number of circulatory miRNAs displayed differential presence in controls vs. diabetic retinopathy. A pattern is emerging of sets of miRNA that are common or uniquely dysregulated in the blood plasma or ocular fluids of DR subtypes, offering promise for the use of ocular fluids and plasma for identifying diagnostic and therapeutic targets.
