Project description:Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss, with its dry form characterized by retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) degeneration and photoreceptor loss. However, the underlying mechanisms driving these pathological changes remain poorly understood. Here, we identify a critical role for microglia-RPE cell interactions mediated by the SPP1-ITGAV signaling axis in dry AMD pathogenesis.

Project description:Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness in the elderly. There are two types of AMD: dry AMD and wet AMD. While laser-induced choroidal neovascularization has been used extensively in the studies of wet AMD by presenting the main features of human wet AMD, there was no established mouse model which fully recapitulates the cardinal features of human dry AMD. In this regard, lack of appropriate mouse model for dry AMD hampered the translational research on the pathogenesis and development of therapeutic agents. We recently suggested that 5XFAD mice could be a mouse model of dry AMD with regard to the amyloid beta (Aβ) related pathology. In this study, using transmission electron microscope, we analyzed ultrastructure of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of 5XFAD mice. Of importance, aged 5XFAD mice had ultrastructural changes of RPE and Bruchâs membrane compatible with cardinal features of dry AMD, including loss of apical microvilli and basal infolding of RPE, increased thickness of Bruchâs membrane, basal laminar and linear deposits, and accumulation of lipofuscin granules and undigested photoreceptor outer segment-laiden phagosomes. Using a threshold of 1.2 fold difference, we found â564â differentially expressed genes of which â190â were up-regulated and â374â were down-regulated in the RPE complex of aged 5XFAD mice. These altered genes were implicated in the pathogenesis of AMD including inflammation and immune response-related genes and retinol metabolism-related genes. Taken together, we suggest that aged 5XFAD mice can be used for dry AMD mouse model. All 5XFAD mice used were heterozygotes with respect to the transgene, and non-transgenic wild-type littermate (WT) mice served as controls.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study were to identify cell specific expression patterns of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and a variety of choroidal cell types originating from the macula and the periphery of human donor eyes, with a particular emphasis on identifying expression signatures of choroidal endothelial cells. Methods: Independent libraries were prepared for macular and peripheral samples of combined RPE/choroid from seven donors in two single cell sequencing experiments. In the first experiment, 8-mm macular and peripheral punches of RPE/choroid from Donors 1-3 were digested in papain prior to cryopreservation and subsequent GEM barcoding/library construction. Donors 1-2 had no noted ophthalmologic disease documented, while Donor 3 was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration. In the second experiment, 12-mm macular and peripheral punches of RPE/choroid from Donors 4-7 were digested in collagenase II prior to cryopreservation, CD31-magentic bead enrichment and subsequent GEM barcoding/library construction. Donors 5-7 had no noted ophthalmologic disease documented, while Donor 4 was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration. In both experiments, libraries were sequenced on a HiSeq4000. Sequenced reads were mapped to the human genome build hg19 will CellRanger(v3.0.1) and filters removed cells likely to be doublets or cells with a high proportion of mitochondrial reads. Clustering of cells with similar expression profiles was performed with Seurat (v3.0.2). Results: In the first experiment with unenriched RPE/choroid from donors 1-3, we recovered 4,355 cells post filtering with 40,177,477 corresponding reads. A total of 2,167 cells originated from the macula and 2,168 cells originated from the periphery. A total of 11 clusters were identified, and highly enriched genes in each cluster were used to classify clusters into their presumed dominant cell type. Differential expression analysis was performed between cells of macular and peripheral origin in each cluster and between donors with and without a history of age-related macular degeneration. Results: In the second experiment with CD31-enriched RPE/choroid from donors 4-7, we recovered 14,234 cells post filtering with 135,742,297 corresponding reads. A total of 7,647 cells originated from the macula and 6,587 cells originated from the periphery. A total of 8,521 of these cells were presumed endothelial cells. A total of 13 clusters were identified, and highly enriched genes in each cluster were used to classify clusters into their presumed dominant cell type(s). Differential expression analysis was performed between cells of macular and peripheral origin in each cluster and between donors with and without a history of age-related macular degeneration. Within each of the endothelial clusters (Clusters 5-8), differential expression analysis was performed between each cluster and the remaining endothelial cells. Conclusions: This study provides a large atlas of single-cell level gene expression patterns of the human retinal pigment epithelium and choroidal cell types. We identify expression patterns of most expected choroidal cell populations and describe macular versus peripheral regional differences. We additionally identify enriched transcripts in specific cell populations in age-related macular degeneration. We characterize gene expression patterns along the choroidal vascular tree, and identify populations of arterial, capillary, and venous endothelial cells. Our results show that single-cell sequencing can be performed on human RPE/choroid after cryopreservation, and that CD31 magnetic bead enrichment can be employed to enrich for endothelial cells for single-cell sequencing.

Project description:Background: Different sources of retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) were transplanted to treat Age-related Macular Degeneration. But the mechanisms of therapeutic effect are unclear till now, and GMP level fetal RPE (fRPE) need further evaluation for treatment. Methods: Modified GMP fRPE primary culture system was founded. These RPE were tested on Mer-/- mice and sodium iodate induced retinopathy primate model for safety and feasibility. Five dry-AMD patients and one Stargardt’s Disease patient were enrolled, and received sub retinal transplantation of hfRPE with three dosage cohorts(1×105，2×105，5×105). ETDRS, optic coherent tomographic imaging (OCT), color fundus (CF), fluorescent angiography (FFA), autofluorescence, microperimetry examination were conducted before surgery, and during follow-up period. The studies are registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, numbers NCT02868424. Findings: GMP level fRPE from modified primary culture system has good proliferative capacity and full functions of RPE in vitro. Human fetal RPE can survive long period in sub-retinal space in mice and monkey models of RPE degeneration, and showed therapeutic effect on Mer-/- mice. During our nine-months follow-up of six clinical cases, no endophthalmitis, no vitreous hemorrhage, no proliferative vitreoretinopathy was observed, and epiretinal memrbrane was the only complication. Among the patients, four of them achieved increase in ETDRS visual acuity (VA), of which the greatest improvement was 18 letters, and one kept steady while the other had 9 letters decreased VA. Color fundus photos and OCT demonstrated the existence of the fRPE cells, and improved retinal sensitivity as well as the changes observed in auto fluorescence also can tell the situation of grafted cells to some extent. Interpretation: GMP level fRPE from modified culture system exhibited satisfactory results on in vitro and preclinical experiments. Preliminary clinical trial proved safety of the fRPE subretinal transplantation, and substantiated it a promising therapy for dry AMD including the converted from exudative AMD.

Project description:Age-related macular degeneration has a strong epidemiological association with cardiovascular disease. One pathogenic hypothesis that applies to both diseases is the concept of an abnormal cellular response to injury resulting in a disease phenotype. It has been hypothesized that this phenotype is also present in dermal fibroblasts. This study tests this hypothesis by examination of the expression profiles of fibroblasts obtained from diseased patients and subjected to sublethal cell injury. Keywords: other
