Characterization of transcriptomes of human iPSC-derived retinal lineages

ABSTRACT: Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells are two retinal cell types that are affected by the most prevalent retinal diseases leading to irreversible blindness, such as glaucoma affecting the former and age-related macular degeneration affecting the latter. One of the most promising approaches for the therapy of these diseases is via the autologous transplantation of RGC or RPE cells derived from the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This emphasizes the importance of detailed characterization and understanding of the mechanisms of differentiation of iPSCs into retinal lineages on the genome-wide scale. Such information can be used to identify novel crucial regulators of differentiation, optimisation of differentiation protocols to make them more efficient and safe, identification of novel specific biomarker signatures of differentiated cells. In this study, we performed the genome-wide transcriptome analysis of terminally differentiated RGC and RPE lineages, as well as intermediate retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) of optic vesicles (OVs) derived from the human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In our analysis we specifically focused on the classes of transcripts that encode regulators of gene expression, such as transcription factors, epigenetic factors, and components of signaling pathways.

Expression data from retinal pigment epithelium in pigmented and albino mouse embryos

Project description:In mammalian albinism, disrupted melanogenesis in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is associated with fewer retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) projecting ipsilaterally to the brain, resulting in numerous abnormalities in the retina and visual pathway, especially binocular vision. To further understand the molecular link between disrupted RPE and a reduced ipsilateral RGC projection in albinism, we compared gene expression in the embryonic albino and pigmented mouse RPE.

Pigment Epithelium Derived Factor (PEDF) secreted from iPSC derived-RPE facilitates apoptotic causes cell death, not the differentiation, of iPSCs

Project description:We show that Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) secreted-factor, pigment epithelium derived factor (PEDF) secreted/derived from primary or iPSC-derived retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)RPE, dramatically inhibitsed the cell growth of iPSCs. PEDF was detected abundantly in culture supernatant media of primary and iPSC-derived RPE. We examined the gene expression in primary RPE and iPS-derived RPE. Two samples: RPE derived from 253G1 iPSC, Primary RPE.

Integrated analysis of DNA methylation and RNA transcriptome during the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into retinal pigment epithelial cells

Project description:Using the paradigm of in vitro differentiation of hESCs/iPSCs into retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, we have recently profiled mRNA and miRNA transcriptomes to define a set of RPE mRNA and miRNA signature genes implicated in directed RPE differentiation. In this study, in order to understand the role of DNA methylation in RPE differentiation, we profiled genome-scale DNA methylation patterns using the method of reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS). We found dynamic waves of de novo methylation and demethylation in four stages of RPE differentiation. Integrated analysis of DNA methylation and RPE transcriptomes revealed a reverse-correlation between levels of DNA methylation and expression of a subset of miRNA and mRNA genes that are important for RPE differentiation and function. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis suggested that genes undergoing dynamic methylation changes were related to RPE differentiation and maturation. We further compared methylation patterns among human ESC- and iPSC-derived RPE as well as primary fetal RPE (fRPE) cells, and discovered that specific DNA methylation pattern is useful to classify each of the three types of RPE cells. Our results demonstrate that DNA methylation may serve as biomarkers to characterize the cell differentiation process during the conversion of human pluripotent stem cells into functional RPE cells. Study of DNA methylation patterns during RPE differentiation of pluripotent stem cells.

Transcriptomic and proteomic retinal pigment epithelium signatures of age-related macular degeneration

Project description:To identify disease-specific transcriptional programs in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, fibroblasts from 43 patients with geographic atrophy (GA) were reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) before being differentiated into RPE and compared to those from 36 healthy individuals. 127,659 RPE cells were profiled via single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and cell classification identified 7 cellular states related to RPE maturation.

Retinal cells derived from patients with DRAM2-dependent CORD21 dystrophy exhibit key lysosomal enzyme deficiency and lysosomal content accumulation

Project description:Biallelic DRAM2 mutations cause an autosomal recessive cone-rod dystrophy named CORD21 typically manifesting by the third decade of life. DRAM2 localises to the lysosomes of photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, however, it remains unclear how DRAM2 contributes to retinal degeneration. Herein, we have derived and characterised retinal organoids (ROs) and RPE cells from two CORD21 induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) lines. CORD21 ROs and RPE manifested abnormal lipid metabolism, autophagic flux defects, aberrant lysosomal content accumulations and reduced lysosomal enzyme activity. A combined proteomics and western blot approach revealed the involvement of DRAM2 in vesicular trafficking that was further corroborated by the immunofluorescent co-localisation of DRAM2 with clathrin adaptor-related proteins AP-1 and AP-3 in ROs. Collectively, our data suggest an indispensable role for DRAM2 in the maintenance of photoreceptors and RPE cells by overseeing the transport of lysosomal enzymes.

WGBS of human retinal pigment epithelum

Project description:We assessed the feasibility of transplanting a sheet of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in a patient with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. The iPSCs were generated from skin fibroblasts obtained from two patients with advanced neovascular age-related macular degeneration and were differentiated into RPE cells. The RPE cells and the iPSCs from which they were derived were subject to extensive testing. A surgery that included the removal of the neovascular membrane and transplantation of the autologous iPSC-derived RPE cell sheet under the retina was performed in one of the patients.

Detection Of Residual iPSCs Following Differentiation of iPSC-Derived Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells

Project description:PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to develop a lot release assay for iPSC residuals following directed differentiation of iPSCs to retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. METHODS: RNA Sequencing (RNA Seq) of iPSCs and RPE derived from them was used to identify pluripotency markers downregulated in RPE cells. Quantitative real time PCR (qPCR) was then applied to assess iPSC residuals in iPSC-derived RPE. The limit of detection (LOD) of the assay was determined by performing spike-in assays with known quantities of iPSCs serially diluted into an RPE suspension. RESULTS: ZSCAN10 and Lin28a were among 8 pluripotency markers identified by RNA Seq as downregulated in RPE. Based on copy number and expression of pseudogenes and lncRNAs ZSCAN10 and Lin28a were chosen for use in qPCR assays for residual iPSCs. Reverse transcription PCR indicated generally uniform expression of ZSCAN10 and Lin28a in 21 clones derived from 8 iPSC donors with no expression of either in RPE cells derived from 5 donor lines. Based on qPCR, ZSCAN10 and Lin28a expression in iPSCs was generally uniform. The LOD for ZSCAN10 and Lin28a in qPCR assays was determined using spike in assays of RPE derived from 2 iPSC lines. Analysis of DDCt found the limit of detection to be <0.01% of cells, equivalent to <1 iPSC / 10,000 RPE cells in both iPSC lines. CONCLUSIONS: qPCR for ZSCAN10 and Lin28a detects <1 in 10,000 residual iPSCs in a population of iPSC-derived RPE providing an adequate LOD of iPSC residuals for lot release testing.
