Project description:Retinal organoids samples that derived from human embryonic stem cells were analyzed by single-cell RNA sequencing. Two samples at different differentiation stages (day57 and day 171) were included in this study for cell type comparison.

Project description:Compare single cell transcriptomes of control and USH1B patient iPSC-derived retinal organoids to elucidate disease mechanisms of Usher syndrome type IB (USH1B). USH1B patient fibroblasts were collected at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and reprogrammed to iPSCs. Control and patient iPSCs differentiated in vitro to generate retinal organoids and collected at 35wks. Sequencing was performed at GENEWIZ (Azenta life sciences) on a Illumina NovaSeq system. Data aligned to the human genome UCSC hg38 using cellranger package.

Project description:The macula of the retina has a high ratio of cones to rods and is critical for central vision and visual acuity. Here we report the generation, transcriptome profiling, and functional validation of single cells from cone-enriched human retinal organoids differentiated from hESCs. Single-cell RNA-seq of 8-month retinal organoids identified clusters of cone and rod photoreceptors and confirmed the cone enrichment initially revealed by immunostaining. Collectively, we have established cone-enriched retinal organoids and a reference of transcriptomes that are rich resources for retinal studies.

Project description:To study the development of human retina, we used single cell RNAseq at key fetal stages and followed the development of the major cell types, as well as populations of transitional cells. We also analyzed stem cell (hPSC)-derived retinal organoids; although organoids have a very similar cellular composition at equivalent ages to the fetal retina, there are some differences in gene expression of particular cell types. Moreover, the inner retinal lamination is disrupted in more advanced stages of organoids when compared with fetal retina. To determine whether the disorganization in the inner retina was due to the culture conditions, we analyzed retinal development in fetal retina maintained under similar conditions. These retinospheres develop for at least 6 months, displaying better inner retinal lamination than retinal organoids. Our scRNAseq comparisons between fetal retina, retinal organoids and retinospheres provide a new resource for developing better in vitro models for retinal disease.

Project description:hESC lines carrying deleterious mutations in the RB1 gene in heterozygous and homozygous state were generated by genome-editing based on CRISPR/Cas9. Parental cell line and genome-edited cell lines were differentiated into retinal organoids for 152 days based on the Protocol published by Döpper et al., Current protocols, PMID: 32956559. Briefly, single cells were reaggregated in presence of dual SMAD and WNT-inhibition; retinal tissue became visible from day 12 onward. BMP4-induction and addition of small molecules CHIR99021 and SU5402 directed differentiation towards retina and retinal pigment epithelium. Long-term differentiation was carried out in the presence of 10% FBS, taurine and retinoic acids. Organoids were collected at indicated time points and either embedded for cryosectioning and immunostaining or frozen at -80°C for RNA preparation.

Project description:The macula of the retina has a high ratio of cones to rods and is critical for central vision and visual acuity. Macula degenerations affect vision the most and are incurable. Here we report the generation, transcriptome profiling, and functional validation of cone-enriched human retinal organoids differentiated from hESCs. Transcriptome profiling using bulk RNA-seq demonstrated that retinal differentiation in vitro recapitulated retinogenesis in vivo in the temporal expression of cell differentiation markers and retinal disease genes, as well as in mRNA alternative splicing. Single-cell RNA-seq of 8-month retinal organoids identified clusters of cone and rod photoreceptors and confirmed the cone enrichment initially revealed by immunostaining. Notably, comparisons of single-cell transcriptomes demonstrated the similarity between retinal organoids and human macula in cones and rods. Cones in retinal organoids exhibited electrophysiological functions. Collectively, we have established cone-enriched retinal organoids and a reference of transcriptomes that are rich resources for retinal studies.

Project description:Microglia are the primary resident immune cells in the retina. They regulate neuronal survival and synaptic pruning, which makes them essential for normal development. Following injury, they mediate adaptive responses and under pathological conditions can trigger neurodegeneration exacerbating the effect of the disease. Retinal organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are increasingly used for a range of applications, including disease modelling, development of new therapies and in the study of retinogenesis. Despite their close resemblance to the in vivo retina, they lack some key physiological features including immune cells. To enhance the retinal organoid model, we engineered an hiPSC co-culture system containing the hiPSC-derived retinal organoids and hiPSC-derived microglia-like (iMG) cells and tested their retinal invasion capacity and function. We incorporated iMG into retinal organoids at 13 weeks and tested their effect on function and development at 15 and 21.5 weeks of differentiation. Our key findings showed that iMG cells were able to respond to endotoxin challenge in monocultures and when co-cultured with the organoids. Single cell RNA-Seq transcriptomic analyses, protein expression, electron microscopy imaging and electrophysiological recordings showed that retinal organoids developed normally, expressed key markers, and retained their ability to generate spiking activity in response to light. Thus, this new co-culture immunocompetent in vitro retinal model provides a platform with greater relevance to the in vivo human retina.

Project description:The rapid improvements in single cell sequencing technologies and analyses methods afford greater scope for dissecting organoid cultures composed of multiple cell types and create an opportunity to interrogate these models to understand tissue biology, cellular behaviour and interactions. To this end, retinal organoids generated from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were analysed by single cell RNA-Sequencing at three time points of differentiation. Combinatorial data from all time points revealed the presence of nine clusters, five of which corresponded to key retinal cell types, namely retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), cone and rod photoreceptors and Müller glia cells. The remaining four clusters expressed genes typical of mitotic cells, extracellular matrix (ECM) components and those involved in retinal homeostasis. The cell clustering analysis revealed the decreasing presence of mitotic cells and RGCs, formation of a distinct RPE cluster, the emergence of cone and rod photoreceptors from photoreceptor precursors and an increasing number of Müller Glia cells over time. The pseudotime analysis resembled the order of cell birth during retinal development, with the mitotic cluster commencing the trajectory and the large majority of Müller glia being the latest. Together, these data demonstrate the feasibility and potential of single cell RNA-Seq to dissect the inherent complexity of the organoids and the orderly birth of key retinal cell types.
