We have used transgenic flies to establish an experimental paradigm for the discovery of genes that might be involved in the development of glaucoma, a prevalent disease affecting a large segment of the population. Inherited mutations in the trabecular meshwork-inducible glucocorticoid response protein\/myocilin (TIGR\/MYOC) are associated with juvenile glaucoma and some cases of adult primary open angle glaucoma. The interrelationships between TIGR\/MYOC and the development of glaucoma, however, are not understood. We show that overexpression of human TIGR\/MYOC in the eyes of Drosophila melanogaster results in distortion of ommatidia accompanied by fluid discharge. High-density oligonucleotide microarrays identified altered expression of 50 transcripts in response to TIGR\/MYOC overexpression, including homologs of aquaporin-4 and cytochrome-P450, previously associated with glaucoma, and several proteins of unknown function. We found that expression of Swiss Cheese, a neurodegenerative protein, increased 34-fold and that its human ortholog, neuropathy target esterase, is also upregulated in response to adenovirus-mediated overexpression of TIGR\/MYOC in perfused postmortem human eyes. Our observations establish the Drosophila eye as an advantageous system for the discovery of genes that are associated with glaucoma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/genetics\/163.2.637","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,23]],"date-time":"2021-04-23T01:34:37Z","timestamp":1619141677000},"page":"637-645","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Transcription Profiling in Drosophila Eyes That Overexpress the Human Glaucoma-Associated Trabecular Meshwork-Inducible Glucocorticoid Response Protein\/Myocilin (TIGR\/MYOC)"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"163","author":[{"given":"Teresa","family":"Borr\u00e1s","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina 27710"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tatiana V","family":"Morozova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Molecular Genetics, Moscow 123182, Russia"},{"name":"The W.
