RNA-Binding Proteins and Alternative Splicing Genes Are Coregulated in Human Retinal Endothelial Cells Treated with High Glucose by Hongran Zhao, Hui Kong, Bozhao Wang, Sihui Wu, Tianran Chen, Yan Cui

“…Furthermore, the expression of differentially expressed RBPs was validated by qRT-PCR in mouse retinal microvascular endothelial cells and retinas from the streptozotocin mouse model. The results showed that Fus, Hnrnpa2b1, Canx, Calr, and Polr2a were remarkedly difference in high-glucose-treated retinal microvascular endothelial cells and Fus, Hnrnpa2b1, Canx, and Calr were remarkedly difference in retinas from streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice compared to control. …”

Feasibility of Ex Vivo Ligandomics by Prabuddha Waduge, Remya Ammassam Veettil, Bojun Zhang, Chengchi Huang, Hong Tian, Wei Li

“…We isolated ECs and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) from diabetic and healthy mouse retinas by immunopanning. We quantified the binding of clonal phages displaying Scg3 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), confirming that their binding patterns to isolated diabetic versus healthy ECs matched in vivo patterns. …”

Novel Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Based Model for Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells to Reveal Possible Disease Mechanisms for Macular Degeneration in Pseudoxanthoma Elasticu... by Taina Viheriälä, Heidi Hongisto, Lyydia Saari, Marika Oksanen, Tanja Ilmarinen, Suvi Väärämäki, Hannu Uusitalo, Pasi Nevalainen, Heli Skottman

“…Although preliminary data, this indicates possible RPE-dependent factors that might explain the individual vulnerability of the retinas for macular degeneration in PXE. Future validation of the novel findings with additional PXE patients will be important.…”

Macrophage metabolic reprogramming ameliorates diabetes-induced microvascular dysfunction by Qiu-Yang Zhang, Hui-Ying Zhang, Si-Guo Feng, Mu-Di Yao, Jing-Juan Ding, Xiu-Miao Li, Rong Ye, Qing Liu, Jin Yao, Biao Yan

“…We identified a circular RNA, circRNA-sperm antigen with calponin homology and coiled-coil domains 1 (cSPECC1), which is significantly up-regulated in diabetic retinas and in macrophages under diabetic stress. cSPECC1 knockdown in macrophages attenuates M1 macrophage polarization and disrupts macrophage-endothelial crosstalk in vitro. cSPECC1 knockdown in macrophages mitigates diabetes-induced retinal inflammation and ameliorates retinal vascular dysfunction. …”

Neuroprotective and Antiapoptotic Activity of Lineage-Negative Bone Marrow Cells after Intravitreal Injection in a Mouse Model of Acute Retinal Injury by Anna Machalińska, Dorota Rogińska, Ewa Pius-Sadowska, Miłosz P. Kawa, Edyta Paczkowska, Michał Rudnicki, Renata Lejkowska, Bartłomiej Baumert, Barbara Wiszniewska, Bogusław Machaliński

“…Morphology, function, and expression of apoptosis-related genes, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor, were assessed in retinas at 7 days, 28 days, and 3 months after transplantation. …”

Differentially Expressed MicroRNAs in the Development of Early Diabetic Retinopathy by Qiaoyun Gong, Jia’nan Xie, Yang Liu, Ying Li, Guanfang Su

“…Although miR-124/-125b expression decreased with DR progression in vitro and in vivo, miR-135b/-199a levels decreased in retinal cells under hyperglycemia exposure, but increased in diabetic retinas. Moreover, miR-145/-146a expression decreased gradually in high-glucose-treated HRECs, but increased in hyperglycemia-exposed RPE cells and in diabetic rats. …”
