Project description:Purpose: Avian photoreceptors are a diverse class of neurons, comprised of four single cones, the two members of the double cone, and rods. Many distinctive features of photoreceptor subtypes, including spectral tuning, oil droplet size and pigmentation, synaptic targets and spatial patterning, have been well characterized, but the molecular mechanisms underlying these attributes have not been explored. Furthermore, the signaling events and transcriptional regulators driving the differentiation of these diverse photoreceptors are currently unknown. Methods: To identify genes specifically expressed in distinct chicken (Gallus gallus) photoreceptor subtypes, we developed fluorescent reporters that label photoreceptor subpopulations, isolated these subpopulations using fluorescence-activated cell sorting, subjected them to next-generation sequencing, and conducted differential expression analysis. Results: We identified hundreds of differentially expressed genes from photoreceptor subpopulations labeled with rhodopsin, red opsin, green opsin, and violet opsin reporters. These genes are involved in a variety of processes, including phototransduction, transcriptional regulation, cell adhesion, maintenance of intra- and extra-cellular structure, and metabolism. Of particular note are a variety of differentially expressed transcription factors, which may drive and maintain photoreceptor diversity, and cell adhesion molecules that may mediate spatial patterning of photoreceptors and act to establish retinal circuitry. Conclusions: These analyses provide a framework for future studies that will dissect the role of these various factors in the differentiation of avian photoreceptor subtypes. mRNA expression profiling of 5 pairs of photoreceptor subtypes isolated from chicken retinal explants, 3 replicates per sample

Project description:The mechanisms that specify cone photoreceptor cell-fate to short-wave-sensitive (S) versus medium-wave-sensitive (M) cones and maintain their nature are not fully understood. Here we report the importance of the GTF2IRD1 transcription factor in maintaining M cone cell identity and function. In the mouse, GTF2IRD1 is expressed in cell-fate determined photoreceptors at postnatal day 10. GTF2IRD1 binds to the enhancer and promoter regions of mouse M and S opsin genes, but regulates their expression differentially, suppressing S opsin expression and, through interaction with the transcription factors CRX and TR2, enhancing M opsin expression. Null mutation of Gtf2ird1 leads to altered topology of cone opsin expression in the retina, with aberrant S opsin over-expression and M opsin under-expression in M cones. Gtf2ird1 null mice also demonstrate abnormal M cone electrophysiological responses. These findings indicate a dual and specific regulatory role of GTF2IRD1 in maintaining normal M cone-specific gene expression and function.

Project description:Mammalian cells are commonly employed to identify active compounds that could affect progression of many human diseases including retinitis pigmentosa. Here, using transcriptome analysis to compare NIH3T3 cells expressing rod opsin with the disease-causing a single point P23H mutation, we differentiated between genes affected by heterologous opsin expression and those influenced by the P23H opsin mutant gain- or loss-of-function. Surprisingly, heterologous expression of normal opsin causes changes in 783 out of 16888 protein coding transcripts more than 1 fragments per kilobase of transcript per million mapped reads (FPKM) in NIH3T3 cells despite that opsin is exogenous to this cell. The perturbed genes are involved in cell adhesion, morphology and migration and encode extracellular matrix proteins, growth factors, cytoskeleton proteins, glycoproteins or metalloproteases. Not fully overlapping 347 differentially expressed genes were affected when the P23H mutant opsin was expressed. Transcriptome perturbation by individual drug candidates also revealed that different active compounds can target distinct molecular pathways that result in a similar phenotype selected by a cell-based high throughput screen. This transcriptome approach is capable of detecting minute changes in the transcriptome and can be a key to therapeutic success of a candidate drug to restore the normal gene expression landscape in affected tissue.

Project description:The loss of cone photoreceptor cells, which are critical for optimal daylight vision, have the great impact on vision during retinal degenerations. Retinal differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) sources could provide a renewable source of cone photoreceptors towards developing a cone cell replacement therapy to treat blindness. Demonstration of comparable gene expression profiles between human foetal and stem cell-derived cones at equivalent stages is required to progress the cell transplantation approach into the patient, as it is hypothesised stem cell-derived cones are required to show high levels of developmental recapitulation of the in vivo generated cones. In this study, the AAV2/9.pR2.1.GFP reporter was used to specifically label L/M-opsin cone photoreceptors in human foetal retinal samples, obtained from the MRC-Wellcome Trust Human Developmental Biology Resource, at a range of developmental stages. The L/M-opsin cone population represent the majority cone cell types in the adult human retina and are the only photoreceptors present within the fovea. Using fluorescence activated cell sorting, L/M-opsin GFP+ cones and GFP- retinal populations, alongside total foetal retinal samples containing all retinal cell tytpes, were isolated and processed for bulk RNA sequencing and downstream comparative analysis. Using DESeq2 differential gene expression analyses, statistically significant genes enriched within the GFP+ human foetal LM-opsin cone populations were determined which led to the identification of a cone enriched gene signature of human L/M-opsin cone photoreceptors. The AAV2/9.pR2.1.GFP reporter was applied to hiPSC-derived retinal cultures to isolate and process cone-like cell populations for RNA sequencing using the same strategy developed within the human foetal retina. Applying the cone enriched gene signature to the transcriptome of hiPSC-derived GFP+ samples at equivalent developmental stages revealed some expression similarities in genes found to be enriched within the late foetal L/M-opsin cone photoreceptors. This analysis overall revealed an intermediate stage of cone differentiation was achieved within the hiPSC-derived samples and the comparison to human foetal L/M-opsin gene express profiles suggesting further differentiation of hiPSC-derived sample is required.

Project description:Rod-cone dystrophy (RCD), or retinitis pigmentosa, involves genetic conditions where rod degeneration precedes cone degeneration, resulting in tunnel vision and eventual blindness. Previous studies attempted to restore cone activity and prolong vision by expressing microbial chloride pumps in degenerating cone photoreceptors. However, microbial opsins require high expression and intense light, limiting their effectiveness. In this work, we explored the phototransduction cascade in degenerating cones in two RCD mouse models. We observed that opsin and arrestin expression persists in the soma during outer segment degeneration. This led us to hypothesize that reactivating cones based on cone opsin signaling may be possible by expressing a target channel activated by G proteins recruited by cone opsin. Through adeno-associated viral (AAV) mediated expression of the G protein-coupled inwardly rectifying K (GIRK) channel, we achieved improvements in visual function in two RCD mouse models with mutations in different genes. Importantly, we validated the rationale of GIRK-mediated gene therapy in humans by confirming cone opsin and cone arrestin expression in cones of late-stage RCD patients. Our proposed approach involves GIRK channel expression in cones as a novel method to maintain high acuity, sensitivity, and color vision in RCD, independent of the underlying mutation.
