Project description:Tissue-specific transcription factors control the transcriptome through an association with noncoding regulatory regions (cistromes). Identifying the combination of transcription factors that dictate specific cell fate, their specific cistromes and examining their involvement in complex human traits remain a major challenge. Here we focus on the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE), an essential lineage for retinal development and function and the primary tissue affected in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness. By combining mechanistic findings in stem-cell-derived human RPE, in- vivo functional studies in mice and global transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, we revealed that the key developmental transcription factors LHX2 and OTX2 function together in transcriptional module containing LDB1 and SWI/SNF (BAF) to regulate the RPE transcriptome. Importantly, the intersection between the identified LHX2-OTX2 cistrome with published expression quantitative trait loci, ATAC-seq data from human RPE, and AMD GWAS data, followed by functional validation using a reporter assay, revealed a causal genetic variant that affects AMD risk by altering TRPM1 expression in the RPE through modulation of LHX2 transcriptional activity on its promoter. Taken together, the reported cistrome of LHX2 and OTX2, the identified downstream genes and interacting co-factors reveal the RPE transcription module and uncover a causal regulatory risk SNP in the multifactorial common blinding disease AMD.

Project description:Otx2 has been shown to be non cell autonomously required for photoreceptor cell survival in the adult mouse RPE. This study aims to identify Otx2 DNA binding profile in both RPE and neural retina to i) identify direct targets of Otx2 in the RPE ii) compare Otx2 binding profile in neural retina and RPE to unveil hidden functions in the neural retina. WT and GFP antibodies were used to perform two independent ChIP-seq experiments using Illumina GAIIx.

Project description:Expression of the lim-homeodomain transcription factor is required for sustained maintenance of heamatopoietic stem cell like cells in undifferentiated form durng in vitro culturing. Cell lines were created from the mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell line, Ainv15. The gene Lhx2 was introducted into these cells under the control of a tetracycline-responsive element. In the presence of tetracycline (or its analogue doxycycline), these cells express Lhx2. In DoxHPC7 GFP is co-expressed together with the Lhx2 gene. We used these cells to carry out a time-course study where the effects of Lhx2 withdrawal were studied.

Project description:The Lhx2 transcription factor plays essential roles in morphogenesis and patterning of ectodermal derivatives, as well as in controlling stem cell activity. Lhx2 is expressed in the hair follicle (HF) buds, while in postnatal telogen HFs Lhx2+ cells reside in the stem cell-enriched epithelial compartments (bulge, secondary hair germ) and co-express selected stem cell markers (Sox9, Tcf4 and Lgr5). Lhx2+ cells represent the vast majority of cells in the bulge and secondary hair germ that proliferate in response to skin injury. This is functionally important, since the wound re-epithelialization is significantly retarded in heterozygous Lhx2 knockout (+/-) mice, while anagen onset in the HFs located closely to the wound is accelerated compared to wild-type mice. Cell proliferation in the bulge and the number of Sox9+ and Tcf4+ cells in the HFs closely adjacent to the wound in Lhx2+/- mice are decreased in comparison to wild-type controls, while expression of Lgr5 and cell proliferation in the secondary hair germ are increased. Furthermore, acceleration of wound-induced anagen development in Lhx2+/- mice is inhibited by administration of Lgr5 siRNA. In addition, Chip-on-chip/ChIP-qPCR and reporter assay analyses reveal Sox9, Tcf4 and Lgr5 as direct Lhx2 targets in keratinocytes. These data strongly suggest that Lhx2 positively regulates Sox9 and Tcf4 in the bulge cells and promotes wound re-epithelization, while it simultaneously negatively regulates Lgr5 in the secondary hair germ and inhibits HF cycling. Thus, Lhx2 operates as a regulator of epithelial stem cell activity during skin response to injury. Chromatin form primary mouse keratinocytes (PMK) was subjected to ChIP analysis with Lhx2 antibody; input and ChIP DNA were labelled with Cy3 and Cy5 respectivly and used form Nimblegen MM8 Mouse Promoter Array

Project description:Lhx2 is a LIM-homeobox transcription factor which could induce hematopoietic stem cell-like cells from mouse embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. However, the effects of Lhx2 overexpression in the human chronic myeloid leukemia cell line K562 remains unknown. Therefore we carried out Lhx2 overexpression in K562 cells.

Project description:Dogs are commonly used models of human inherited retinal disorders. Because the dog retina contains a macula-like region, dogs are susceptible to maculopathies with many shared genetic etiologies with humans. Human macular gene expression has been characterized and provides insight into the underlying basis of macular disease. We sought to compare macular gene expression profiles in dogs and humans and interrogate macular disease-associated genes for differential expression between macula and periphery. RNA sequencing was performed on 8mm samples of the dog macular region and superior peripheral region, sampling retina and retinal pigmented epithelium/choroid separately. Read sequences were mapped to CanFam3.1 and raw read counts were analyzed to determine significantly differentially expressed genes between macula and periphery within each tissue. A similar analytic pipeline was used with a published dataset of human samples to allow direct dog/human comparisons. Pathways and processes involved in significantly DEGs were identified using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. Dogs and humans shared the extent and direction of macular retinal differential gene expression, with multiple shared biological pathways implicated in differential expression. There were fewer similarities between dog and human in the supporting tissues of the retina (the RPE, choroid, sclera). Many genes implicated in heritable retinal and macular disorders in both dogs and humans were differentially expressed between macula and periphery. Approximately 2/3 of genes associated with human age-related macular degeneration were differentially expressed in at least one human tissue, whereas approximately half were differentially expressed in at least one dog tissue. This work underpins the dog macular retinal region as analogous to the human macula in terms of differential gene expression. Whilst age-related maculopathy has not been described in dogs, evidence supports the study of aging of the macula and susceptibility to age-associated pathology in dogs.
