Project description:The purpose of this study is to identify disease-related miRNAs in retinas of a mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR). OIR pups were exposed to 75% oxygen at postnatal day (P)7 for 5 days, and were returned to room air at P12. The miRNAs expression profiles in the retinas from OIR mice at P17 and room air controls were determined through microarray analysis. Expressions of significantly upregulated and downregulated miRNAs in the OIR retinas and controls were confirmed through quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qPCR). Compared to the room air controls, 3 miRNAs were significantly up-regulated, and 8 miRNAs were down-regulated in OIR retinas. Our findings indicated that several miRNAs were differentially expressed in the oxygen-induced retinal neovascularization, which might provide novel therapeutic targets in regulating retinal neovascular diseases.

Project description:In order to find out the vital genes during retinal neovascularization (RNV), we set up OIR (oxygen-induced retinopathy; induced with 75%±2% oxygen) and wild-type C57BL/6J murine models. We observed the retinal vascular growth process daily both in OIR and wild-type mice through retinal flat-mount, and isolated total retinal RNA at different time points (P8, P9, P12, P13, P30) both in OIR and wild-type mice for gene expression analysis.

At least three different retinae were accessed at each time point for observing the retinal vascular growth process. Ten neural retinae from five mice were harvested and pooled into one sample for gene expression analysis. Three biological replicates were used for each time point. Dye-swaps were performed.

Project description:Emerging evidence suggests a link between the circadian clock and retinopathies though the causality has not been established. Circadian clocks in the mammalian retina regulate a diverse range of retinal functions that allow the retina to adapt to the light-dark cycle. We report that clock genes are expressed in the embryonic retina, and the embryonic retina requires light cues to maintain robust circadian expression of the core clock gene, Bmal1. Deletion of Bmal1 and Per2 from the retinal neurons results in retinal angiogenic defects similar to when animals are maintained under constant light conditions. Using two different models to assess pathological neovascularization, we show that neuronal Bmal1 deletion reduces neovascularization with reduced vascular leakage, suggesting that a dysregulated circadian clock primarily drives neovascularization. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing analysis suggests that semaphorin signaling is the dominant pathway regulated by Bmal1. Our data indicate that therapeutic silencing of the retinal clock could be a common approach for the treatment of certain retinopathies like diabetic retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity.

Project description:Retinal ischemia is believed to initiate a series of events that leads to retinal neovascularization observed in several retinal diseases such as diabetetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion. Although some molecules such as VEGF and MCP-1 have been implicated in the process, its underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In order to identify genes associated with retinal ischemia, we performed gene expression analyses in retinas of mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy using DNA microarray technology.

Project description:Myeloid cells such as resident retinal microglia or infiltrating blood-derived macrophages accumulate in areas of retinal ischemia and neovascularization (RNV) and modulate neovascular eye disease. Their temporo-spatial distribution and biological function in this process, however, remain unclarified. We determined the extent of microglia proliferation and macrophage infiltration in areas of ischemia and RNV using Cx3cr1CreERT2:Rosa26-tdTomato mice and assessed the transcriptional profile of microglia in the oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mouse model. We show that microglia are the predominant myeloid cell population in areas of RNV. Thirty percent of retinal microglia were EdU-positive indicating considerable expansion of local microglia. RNA-Seq revealed an enrichment of processes related to cell division and chemokine receptor binding. We propose that activated retinal MG alter their transcriptional profile, exhibit proliferative ability and are by far the most frequent myeloid cell population in areas of RNV in the OIR model thus presenting a potential target for future therapeutic approaches.

Project description:Background: Retinal neovascularization (RNV) is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks play vital roles in angiogenesis. The RNA-binding protein galectin-1 (Gal-1) participates in pathological RNV in oxygen-induced retinopathy mouse models. However, the molecular associations between Gal-1 and lncRNAs remain unclear. Herein, we aimed to explore the potential mechanism of action of Gal-1 as an RNA-binding protein. Results: A comprehensive network of Gal-1, ceRNAs, and neovascularization-related genes was constructed based on transcriptome chip data and bioinformatics analysis of human retinal microvascular endothelial cells. We also conducted functional enrichment and pathway enrichment analyses. Fourteen lncRNAs, twenty-nine miRNAs, and eleven differentially expressed angiogenic genes were included in the Gal-1/ceRNA network. WT1-AS, LINC01140, and LUCAT1 were situated at the center of the network. Additionally, several key angiogenic genes, such as apelin, angiomotin, and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10, were found to potentionally interact with Gal-1 via the ceRNA axis. Furthermore, Gal-1 may be involved in regulating biological processes related to chemotaxis, chemokine-mediated signaling, the immune response, and the inflammatory response. Conclusions: The Gal-1/ceRNA axis identified in this study may play a vital role in RNV. This study provides a foundation for the continued exploration of therapeutic targets and biomarkers associated with RNV.

Project description:Schemic retinopathies such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), are the main causes of blindness in working age and pediatric populations in industrialized countries. It is estimated that close to 100 million individuals worldwide suffer from DR and 15 million preterm infants born each year are predisposed to ROP. Regrettably, relatively little is known of the cellular processes at play during late stages of pathological angiogenesis in these diseases and consequently current standards of care target all neovascularization. Oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) allows to reproduce experimentally in the mouse retina the pathological features observed in human pathological retina such as ischemic avascular regions as well as epi-retinal neovascularization. Using agnostic and orthogonal approaches, in our work we demonstrate that in contrast to healthy blood vessels, pathological vessels engage pathways of cell cycle arrest, resulting in cellular senescence. These findings combined with further genetic and pharmacological approaches provide mechanistic evidence supporting that targeting selectively senescent vessels in DR represents a potential treatment for neovascular retinal disease.
