运用人类人工诱导多能干细胞衍生的视网膜类器官研究感光细胞分化中的视网膜色素上皮细胞和NRL基因的作用

发布时间:2023-04-19 19:35
  视觉的形成依赖于光感受器细胞与视网膜色素上皮(Retinal pigment epithelium,RPE)之间功能的相互协调作用,这种稳态的破坏可能导致失明。因此,RPE与视网膜之间的相互作用在发育阶段以及成年视网膜的正常功能中至关重要。成熟的人视网膜是中枢神经系统种一种复杂而精细的感觉器官,缺乏再生能力。因此,对人视网膜的任何损伤都可能导致视力下降甚至失明。日常生活中,视网膜直接暴露在强光下或者受到有害因素的影响都会容易导致光感受器细胞退化和死亡。正常生理功能的RPE能够通过多种途径来减轻这些有害因素对视网膜功能的影响。此外,RPE对于视网膜外层的正常生理至关重要,具有对脱落的光感受器细胞外段的吞噬作用以及神经营养和血管营养类型生长因子的分泌功能。源自人诱导多能干细胞(hiPSC)的视网膜类器官(Retinal organoid,RO)重构了人视网膜的三维结构,模仿了人类视网膜的发育,并为临床前视网膜移植提供了细胞来源。然而,体外RO-RPE共培养能否促进RO中光感受器细胞的分化成熟仍然未知。在本文中,我们在体外成功地通过连续的诱导过程将hiPSC分化成为RO。在分化过程中,RO的...
