Project description:The regenerative capacity of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) differs between species; in bigger mammals such as humans and sheep, CECs are arrested in a non-proliferative state. Damage to these cells can compromise its function leading to corneal opacity and impaired vision. Corneal transplantation is the current treatment for the recovery of a clear eyesight, but the donor tissue demand is higher than the offer and there is the need to develop novel treatment modalities. In contrast, rabbit CECs retain a high proliferative profile and have the capacity to repopulate the endothelium upon injury. There is currently a lack of fundamental knowledge to explain the difference in the proliferation capacity of these cells across species. Gaining information on the transcriptomic differences across species could allow the identification of crucial proliferation drivers of CEC proliferation to develop novel regenerative medicine therapies. In this study we have analyzed at the transcriptomic level corneal endothelial samples originating from human, sheep, and rabbit. To understand the differences across the CECs proliferation capacity in each species, we have generated an automated pipeline for the analysis of pathways with different activity. Our results revealed that 52 pathways had commonly different activity when comparing species with non-proliferative endothelium (human and sheep) to species with proliferative endothelium (rabbit).

Project description:Integrity of the cornea, the most anterior part of the eye is indispensable for vision. 45 million individuals are bilaterally blind and another 135 millions have severely impaired vision in both eyes because of loss of corneal transparency; treatments range from local medications to corneal transplants and more recently to stem cell therapy. The corneal epithelium is a squamous epithelium that is constantly renewing with a vertical turnover of seven to fourteen days in many mammals3. Identification of slow cycling cells (label-retaining cells or LRCs) in the limbus of the mouse has led to the notion that the limbus is the niche for the stem cells responsible for the long-term renewal of the cornea4; hence, the corneal epithelium is supposedly renewed by cells generated at and migrating from the limbus, in striking opposition to other squamous epithelia in which each resident stem cell has in charge a limited area of epithelium. Here, we show that the corneal epithelium of the mouse can be serially transplanted, is self-maintained and contains oligopotent stem cells with the capacity to generate goblet cells if provided with a conjunctival environment. In addition, the entire ocular surface of the pig, including the cornea, contains oligopotent stem cells (holoclones) with the capacity to generate individual colonies of corneal and conjunctival cells; hence, the limbus is not the only niche for corneal stem cells and corneal renewal is not different from other squamous epithelia.

Project description:Stem cells are essential for maintaining homeostasis and regenerating damaged tissue. In the corneal epithelium, the location and molecular markers of corneal epithelial stem cells are not fully understood. Recent advances in single-cell RNA sequencing has offered unprecedented opportunity to unveil transcriptional differences across corneal cell types. We report the application 10x Genomics Chromium technology for high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing of transparent central corneal epithelium, and identified a cluster of facultative stem/progenitor cells that exhibits colony-forming ability and self-renewal capacity. This study provides new insight into facultative adult stem cell biology.

Project description:Dr. Panjwani's laboratory is focusing on the mechanism by which galectins-3 and 7 mediate corneal epithelial cell migration. We are currently performing studies to: (i) identify and characterize the corneal epithelial cell surface and extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules which serve as counterreceptors of galectin-3 and -7, to establish whether the lectins modulate corneal epithelial cell migration by binding to well known integrins, growth factor receptors, and/or ECM molecules and (ii) determine whether galectin-3 mediates corneal epithelial cell migration indirectly by modulating the expression of key adhesion and/or signal transduction molecules by using small interfering RNA, cDNA microarrays and glycogene arrays. We have prepared three independent preparations of total RNA of corneal epithelial cells from WT mice (total six samples) for analysis of glycogene expression. Samples are Normal Cornea (Left eye) and Laser ablation + 16-18 hours healing (right eye)

Project description:MicroRNA profile comparison of the corneal endothelium of young and old mice: implications for senescence of the corneal endothelium We collected the corneal endothelia from 30 mice aged 10-13 weeks and the corneal endothelia from 30 mice aged 2 years. The samples were pooled into six groups (y1, y2, y3 and s1, s2, s3). Each group comprised corneal endothelia from ten mice, and these six groups were used for a genome-wide microRNA microarray study.

Project description:Human corneal endothelial cells (HCEC) form a monolayer by adhering tightly through their intercellular adhesion molecules. Located at the posterior corneal surface, they maintain corneal translucency by dehydrating the corneal stroma, mainly through the Na+- and K+-dependent ATPase (Na+/K+-ATPase). Because HCEC proliferative activity is low in vivo,we tried to activate proliferation of HCEC by inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors.We have here demonstrated microarray data of transduced human corneal endothelial cell lines. Affymetrix human U133 plus 2.0 array was used to transcriptionally profile to compare cultured human corneal endothelial cells and transduced human corneal endothelial cells.

Project description:TGFBI associated Corneal Dystrophies (CD) are a group of inherited protein folding disorders linked to the mutation in the TGFBI gene. The resultant mutant protein (TGFBIp) is deposited as insoluble protein aggregates in various layers of the cornea leading to corneal opacity and poor vision. Depending on the type of mutation the deposits may be classified as amyloid fibrillar type, amorphous globular aggregates or a mixed form of both fibrils and amorphous aggregates. However, the molecular mechanism of the mutant-induced amyloidosis is not fully understood. This study aimsto characterize truncated peptides enriched in the amyloid aggregates and to identify the protein composition of the corneal aggregates derived from dystrophic patients using LC-MS/MS and compare the data with normal control cornea. We have identified several amyloid associated proteins, non-fibrillar amyloid associated proteins and TGFBIp as the major component of the corneal deposits. The results suggest that Apolipoprotein A-IV, Apolipoprotein E and Serine protease HtrA1 to be significantly enriched in the corneal deposits compared to the normal cornea. Comparative analysis of peptides from corneal deposits of patient and control identified several peptides of TGFBIp which are enriched in patient tissue and may form the core of corneal amyloids. Most of the peptides represent the 4th FAS-1 domain of the protein. Biophysical studies of two such peptides (G515DNRFSMLVAAIQSAGLTETLNR533 and Y571HIGDEILVSGGIGALVR588) demonstrate that they readily form amyloid fibrils under physiological conditions, confirming their intrinsic propensity to form amyloid fibrils. The identification of proteins which are involved in other protein misfolding disorders as well as identification of peptides from TGFBIp which form -amyloid core highlight that the mechanism of amyloid formation may share common molecular pathways.
