Project description:Background: the major risk factor for glaucoma is ocular hypertension, a disorder caused by reduced outflow of aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork. In a previous pharmacogenomic screen for genes associated with ocular hypertension, we identified the novel G protein-coupled receptor, GPR158, and showed it protects against age-related ocular hypertension in mice. Here we show that the glucocorticoid, dexamethasone, increases the level of accumulated GPR158 protein in the trabecular meshwork of the human eye, ex vivo. Methods: we performed gene expression microarray profiling of TM-1 cells thar overexpress GPR158 Results: we show that the glucocorticoid, dexamethasone, increases the level of accumulated GPR158 protein in the trabecular meshwork of the human eye, ex vivo. Gene sets controlled by dexamethasone, TGFB1 and TP53 were identified, as well as genes asso-ciated with ossification. GPR158 over-expression in cells of the immortalized trabecular meshwork cell line TM-1 did not affect the fibrotic response to dexamethasone or cause ossification, and loss of GPR158 in knockout mice did not affect the development of glucocorticoid-induced ocular hypertension. However, GPR158 over-expression was cytoprotective. Discussion: Our findings suggest that GPR158 activated the cytoprotective branch of the unfolded protein response and bound the TP53-inducible protein PPP1R10, a regulatory subunit of PPI regulatory subunit of PPI. Our data support the idea that GPR158 protects the trabecular meshwork, and suggest possible mechanisms.

Project description:TGF-beta levels are known to increase in the aqueous humor of eye cells in patients with glaucoma. Increase TGF-beta is assumed to have a biochemical impact on the trabecular meshwork, and an increase in extracellular matrix formation, which may be responsible for decrease outflow facility of the eye. This may increase extracellular pressure, causing glaucoma. TGF-beta 1 may be the cause of abnormal accumulation of extracellular matrices in trabecular meshwork of eyes with primary open angle glaucoma. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta2 regulates the expression of proteoglycans in aqueous humor from human glaucomatous eyes. To identify gene expression changes as a result of TGF-beta1 and 2 treatment of human trabecular meshwork cells. We expect to see a change in expression of the proteoglycans in HTM cells as a response to TGF-beta treatment. Human Trabecular Meswork cells in the eye were bathed by aqueous humor. TM cells were removed from individuals with the following ages: 16,66,67,73, and 76. Each individual was treated with EtOH (control), TGF-beta1, or TGF-beta2. Total RNA from each individual was pooled for each chip. Technical replicates were created for each treatment type, for a total of 6 chips.

Project description:Trabecular meshwork cells in eyes with glaucoma aquire mesenchymal phenotypes. The types of microRNAs in exosomes may differ between static and glaucomatous status and their effects on aqueous humor regulation are still uknown. We used microarrays to identify the differential microRNA expression related to interaction between trabecular meshwork cells and Schlemm's canal endothelial cells.

Project description:Treatment with glucocorticoids is known to cause ocular hypertension in humans which can lead to steriod-induced glaucoma We used microarrays to determine changes in gene expression in two human trabecular meshwork (TM) cell isolates (TM-4 and TM-2) from the same donor that could explain the increase in ocular hypertension.

Project description:The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the ocular trabecular meshwork (TM) builds resistance to aqueous humor outflow, thereby regulating intraocular pressure (IOP). Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness worldwide, is associated with changes in the ECM of the TM. The elastic modulus indicates glaucomatous TM is more rigid than age-matched normal TM; however, the biomechanical properties of segmental low (LF) and high flow (HF) TM regions in response to elevated pressure, are unknown. In this study, we measured the elastic modulus by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and measured protein expression differences in perfused human TM tissues by proteomics analyses. The elastic modulus of LF regions was 2.3-fold stiffer than HF regions at physiological (1x) pressure, and 7.4-fold or 3.5-fold stiffer than HF regions at elevated (2x) pressure after 24 or 72 hours, respectively. Quantitative proteomics using isobaric tandem mass tags (TMT), multi-notch isolation, high resolution, and extended multiplexing were used to compare protein expression levels between normal, LF, and HF regions at the two pressures. A total of 3730 proteins (2 peptides per protein) were identified from the ECM samples, and 2637 proteins were quantified. Statistically significant ECM proteins over expressed in LF compared with HF regions at 2x, and in HF regions at 1x compared with 2x pressure were determined. A sub-set of ECM proteins, including decorin, TGFβ-induced protein, keratocan, lumican, dermatopontin and thrombospondin 4, were common differential candidates in both comparisons. These data suggest a correlation between the biomechanical properties of TM regions and differential levels of specific ECM proteins in response to elevated pressure.

Project description:One of the undesirable side effects of glucocorticoid use is the potential development of elevated intraocular pressure and glaucoma. The precise mechanisms through which steroid use induces ocular hypertension are unclear. The purpose of this study was to identify gene expression changes induced by steroids in the human trabecular meshwork and the underlying sclerocorneal tissue.

Project description:Impaired drainage of aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork (TM) culminating in increased intraocular pressure is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Regulation of aqueous humor drainage through the TM, however, is poorly understood. The role of RhoA GTPase-mediated contractile activity, cell adhesive interactions, and gene expression in regulation of aqueous humor outflow was investigated using adenoviral vector-driven expression of constitutively active RhoA (RhoAV14). Organ cultured anterior segments from porcine eyes expressing RhoAV14 exhibited significant reduction of aqueous humor outflow. Cultured TM cells expressing RhoAV14 revealed strong contractile cell morphology, increased actin stress fibers and focal adhesions, along with increased levels of phosphorylated myosin II, and collagen IV, fibronectin and laminin. cDNA microarray analysis of RNA extracted from RhoAV14 expressing human TM cells revealed a significant increase in the expression of genes encoding extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, cytokines, integrins, cytoskeletal proteins and signaling proteins. Conversely, various ECM proteins stimulated robust increases in phosphorylation of myosin II, paxillin and focal adhesion kinase, and activated Rho GTPase and actin stress fiber formation in TM cells, indicating a potential regulatory feedback interaction between ECM-induced mechanical strain and Rho GTPase-induced isometric tension in TM cells. Collectively, these data demonstrate that sustained activation of Rho GTPase signaling in the aqueous humor outflow pathway increases resistance to aqueous humor outflow through the trabecular pathway by influencing the contractile force, cell adhesive interactions, and the expression of ECM proteins and cytokines in TM cells.
