Abstract
Recent studies show that Arf, a bona fide tumor suppressor, also plays an essential role during mouse eye development. Tgfβ is required for Arf promoter activation in developing mouse eyes, and its capacity to induce Arf depends on Smads 2/3 as well as p38 Mapk. Substantial delay between activation of these pathways and increased Arf transcription imply that changes in the binding of additional transcription factors help orchestrate changes in Arf expression. Focusing on proteins with putative DNA binding elements near the mouse Arf transcription start, we now show that Tgfβ induction of this gene correlated with decreased expression and DNA binding of C/ebpβ to the proximal Arf promoter. Ectopic expression of C/ebpβ in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) blocked Arf induction by Tgfβ. Although basal levels of Arf mRNA were increased by C/ebpβ loss in MEFs and in the developing eye, Tgfβ was still able to increase Arf, indicating that derepression was not the sole factor. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay showed increased Sp1 binding to the Arf promotor at 24 and 48 hours after Tgfβ treatment, at which time points Arf expression was significantly induced by Tgfβ. Chemical inhibition of Sp1 and its knockdown by RNA interference blocked Arf induction by Tgfβ in MEFs. In summary, our results indicate that C/ebpβ and Sp1 are negative and positive Arf regulators that are influenced by Tgfβ.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes in a retrospective case series of morning glory syndrome (MGS) associated with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV). METHODS The medical records of 85 eyes/74 patients referred for ophthalmology consultation diagnosed as MGS in our clinic were reviewed retrospectively. All patients underwent thorough ophthalmological examinations. 22 eyes of 19 patients diagnosed as having MGS associated with PHPV were included, accounting for 25.88% of all the MGS eyes. Clinical manifestations and management of these patients were documented. RESULTS 15 patients (78.95%) were younger than 1 year old at the first diagnosis. Six eyes were associated with microphthalmia. 19 of 22 eyes (86.36%) had complications, including cataract (10 eyes), secondary glaucoma (8 eyes), corneal leucoma or oedema (8 eyes), retinal detachment (8 eyes), strabismus (3 eyes) and nystagmus (2 eyes). Treatment methods varied depending on the severity of the complications. Nine eyes with secondary glaucoma or cataract got lensectomy; three eyes underwent combined vitrectomy and lensectomy. Eight patients underwent cranial MRI/MR angiography or CT examination. Widened cerebral fissures of bilateral temporal lobes, abnormal dilated branch of middle cerebral artery in the left hemisphere and abnormal signal in the grey matter of frontal and occipital lobes were revealed respectively in three patients. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed the coexistence of PHPV in a significant percentage of patients with MGS, suggesting a potential common genetic link. Compared with MGS and PHPV alone, the combination of the two conditions manifested with higher incidence and more severe complications in younger patients. Close follow-up was recommended. Lensectomy and vitrectomy were beneficial in the management of the complications.

Abstract
We have investigated how the Arf gene product, p19(Arf), is activated by Tgfβ during mouse embryo development to better understand how this important tumor suppressor is controlled. Taking advantage of new mouse models, we provide genetic evidence that Arf lies downstream of Tgfβ signaling in cells arising from the Wnt1-expressing neural crest and that the anti-proliferative effects of Tgfβ depend on Arf in vivo. Tgfβ1, -2, and -3 (but not BMP-2, another member of the Tgfβ superfamily) induce p19(Arf) expression in wild type mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs), and they enhance Arf promoter activity in Arf(lacZ/lacZ) MEFs. Application of chemical inhibitors of Smad-dependent and -independent pathways show that SB431542, a Tgfβ type I receptor (TβrI) inhibitor, and SB203580, a p38 MAPK inhibitor, impede Tgfβ2 induction of Arf. Genetic studies confirm the findings; transient knockdown of Smad2, Smad3, or p38 MAPK blunt Tgfβ2 effects, as does Cre recombinase treatment of Tgfbr2(fl/fl) MEFs to delete Tgfβ receptor II. Chromatin immunoprecipitation reveals that Tgfβ rapidly induces Smads 2/3 binding and histone H3 acetylation at genomic DNA proximal to Arf exon 1β. This is followed by increased RNA polymerase II binding and progressively increased Arf primary and mature transcripts from 24 through 72 h, indicating that increased transcription contributes to p19(Arf) increase. Last, Arf induction by oncogenic Ras depends on p38 MAPK but is independent of TβrI activation of Smad 2. These findings add to our understanding of how developmental and tumorigenic signals control Arf expression in vivo and in cultured MEFs.

Abstract
We report a case of bilateral persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) in a 5-month-old infant who presented with bilateral leukokoria. The child was referred for ocular ultrasound with a clinical suspicion of retinoblastoma. Grey-scale evaluation revealed an echogenic band in the posterior segment of the left globe extending from the posterior surface of the lens capsule to the optic disc. Doppler examination revealed the presence of blood flow in the band. Ultrasound assessment of the contralateral globe showed an elevated mass of echogenic tissue in the posterior segment, in contact with the optic disc. Most cases of PHPV are sporadic and unilateral. Bilateral PHPV is rare. In a study by Pollard of 83 cases, only two patients (2.4%) had bilateral PHPV. The imaging features in this case point toward the diagnosis of bilateral PHPV. We suggest that this entity, although rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis while evaluating bilateral leukokoria.

Abstract
PURPOSE Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) is an idiopathic developmental eye disease associated with failed involution of the hyaloid vasculature. The present work addressed the pathogenesis of PHPV in a mouse model that replicates many aspects of the human disease. METHODS Ophthalmoscopic and histologic analyses documented pathologic processes in eyes of mice lacking the Arf gene compared with Ink4a-deficient and wild-type control animals. Immunohistochemical staining, in situ hybridization, and RT-PCR demonstrated the expression of relevant gene products. Arf gene expression was determined by in situ hybridization using wholemounts of wild-type mouse eyes and by immunofluorescence staining for green fluorescent protein (GFP) in Arf(+/GFP) heterozygous knock-in mouse eyes. RESULTS Abnormalities in Arf(-/-) mice mimicked those found in patients with severe PHPV. The mice had microphthalmia; fibrovascular, retrolental tissue containing retinal pigment epithelial cells and remnants of the hyaloid vascular system; posterior lens capsule destruction with lens degeneration and opacity; and severe retinal dysplasia and detachment. Eyes of mice lacking the overlapping Ink4a gene were normal. Arf was selectively expressed in perivascular cells within the vitreous of the postnatal eye. Cells composing the retrolental mass in Arf(-/-) mice expressed the Arf promoter. The remnant hyaloid vessels expressed Flk-1. Its ligand, vascular endothelial growth factor (Vegf), was expressed in the retrolental tissue and the adjacent dysplastic neuroretina. CONCLUSIONS Arf(-/-) mice have features that accurately mimic severe PHPV. In the HVS, Arf expression in perivascular cells may block their accumulation or repress Vegf expression to promote HVS involution and prevent PHPV.

Abstract
In 1985, Frydman et al. [1985: Clin Genet 27:414-419] described a syndrome characterized by growth failure, microcephaly, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) with microphthalmia, cleft palate, connective tissue abnormality, mental retardation, and spastic quadriplegia. The syndrome was termed as oculo-palato-cerebral dwarfism. The first patients described were offsprings of a consanguineous couple of Moroccan Jewish descent, suggesting autosomal recessive inheritance. An additional case was reported by Pellegrino et al. [2001: Am J Med Genet 99:200-203] in 2001. The clinical features were milder than the original cases, and there was no consanguinity. We report a third patient with oculo-palato-cerebral syndrome, supporting autosomal recessive inheritance, and a detailed comparison with the previous cases.

Abstract
A key tumor suppressor mechanism that is disrupted frequently in human cancer involves the ARF and p53 genes. In mouse fibroblasts, the Arf gene product responds to abnormal mitogenic signals to activate p53 and trigger either cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. Recent evidence indicates that Arf also has p53-independent functions that may contribute to its tumor suppressor activity. Using Arf(-/-) and p53(-/-) mice, we have discovered a p53-independent requirement for Arf in the developmental regression of the hyaloid vascular system (HVS) in the mouse eye. Arf is expressed in the vitreous of the eye and is induced before HVS regression in the first postnatal week. In the absence of Arf, failed HVS regression causes a pathological process that resembles persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, a developmental human eye disease thought to have a genetic basis. These findings demonstrate an essential and unexpected role for Arf during mouse eye development, provide insights into the potential genetic basis for persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, and indicate that Arf regulates vascular regression in a p53-independent manner. The latter finding raises the possibility that Arf may function as a tumor suppressor at least in part by regulating tumor angiogenesis.

Abstract
Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) is a common congenital developmental anomaly of the eye that results following failure of the embryological, primary vitreous and hyaloid vasculature to regress. It typically presents unilaterally without associated systemic findings. Although the etiology is assumed to be identical in each of its three variants, PHPV is still subclassified into three presentations. The purely anterior presentation of PHPV is also known as persistent tunica vasculosa lentis and persistent posterior fetal fibrovascular sheath of the lens. It occurs in eyes with pathology of the anterior segment. This form typically involves cataract, glaucoma and a retrolenticular membrane. The purely posterior presentation of PHPV is termed falciform retinal septum and ablatio falcicormis congentia. It occurs in eyes with abnormalities confined to the posterior segment such as retinal folds, vitreal stalk, vitreal membranes, macular abnormalities and optic disc abnormalities. A combination of anterior and posterior presentations is the most commonly seen clinical presentation. Case report. We present a case in which an 11-year old male was referred to our office for reevaluation of a large angle esotropia, strabismic and deprivational amblyopia and previously diagnosed PHPV, OD. Conclusion. Without treatment, PHPV can produce recurrent intraocular hemorrhage, secondary glaucoma and eventually require enucleation. Early surgical intervention is necessary to prevent progressive pathologic changes and to obtain the best visual results. Finally, while PHPV is a documented source of leukocoria, clinicians should be aware of differential diagnoses which involve the white pupil (congenital cataract, retinoblastoma, Norrie's disease, retinopathy of prematurity, retinal detachment and Coat's disease).

Abstract
A 4-year-and-10-month-old girl was diagnosed shortly after birth with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV). Her mother took clomiphene 100 mg daily for approximately 4 weeks and discontinued the drug once she had a positive pregnancy test. The exact time of gestation was not clear. Clomiphene is an estrogen antagonist effective in the treatment of anovulation. Various ocular side effects have been described in women taking the drug, including decreased vision, mydriasis, flashing lights, central scotoma, photophobia, diplopia, allergic reactions, retinal vasospasms, detachment posterior vitreous, and possibly posterior subcapsular cataracts. These occur in 1.5-10% of patients taking clomiphene. The potential effects of clomiphene on the fetus have been investigated in five animal studies. Cataracts were observed in fetal mice and rats, but not in monkeys. In humans, a case of congenital retinal aplasia was described. The possibility of clomiphene-induced congenital PHPV should be considered, especially in pregnant women who are taking a high and prolonged dose.

Abstract
PURPOSE Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) is a congenital disorder that presents with a spectrum of ocular anomalies, including cataracts, microphthalmia, and hyaloid vessel remnants. Severe visual loss due to secondary glaucoma and retinal detachment is common. This report evaluates the visual outcome of a variant of PHPV with myopia not associated with glaucoma. METHODS The records of 23 consecutive patients with the diagnosis of PHPV (all unilateral) from October 1992 to August 1995 were reviewed. All but three patients had a cataract extraction procedure and all underwent amblyopia therapy. Eyes with a phakic myopic refractive error (Rx) or aphakic refractive correction < or = 8.5 diopters (D) in the immediate postoperative period were designated as myopic. RESULTS Six patients were in the myopic group (Group 1) and 17 in were the nonmyopic group (Group 2). The mean age of diagnosis was 21.1 months in Group 1 versus 2.0 months in Group 2, with a comparable follow-up period of 36 months. The mean preoperative Rx of Group 1 was -7.78 D. The mean aphakic Rx of Group 2 was +18.29 D. Average axial length measurement determined by echography was 22.46 mm in Group 1 and 14.03 mm in Group 2. The mean corneal diameter was 11.3 mm in Group 1 vs 8.9 mm in Group 2. In Group 2, seven eyes developed retinal detachment and four developed glaucoma. These complications did not develop in Group 1 during the follow-up period. Overall functional visual acuity was better in Group 1, with a median visual acuity at final follow up of 20/160, as compared with light perception for Group 2. CONCLUSIONS PHPV eyes with myopia were not detected as early as the typical PHPV eyes, primarily because of less media opacification and near-normal corneal diameters. These eyes showed a more favorable visual outcome as they were less likely to develop typical PHPV-related postoperative complications. Myopic PHPV eyes may require a different management approach.
