Protective Effects of Human iPS-Derived Retinal Pigment Epithelium Cell Transplantation in the Retinal Dystrophic Rat
Transformation of somatic cells with a set of embryonic transcription factors produces cells with the pluripotent properties of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). These induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have the potential to differentiate into any cell type, making them a potential source from which to produce cells as a therapeutic platform for the treatment of a wide range of diseases. In many f...
متن کاملProfiling the microRNA Expression in Human iPS and iPS-derived Retinal Pigment Epithelium
The purpose of this study is to characterize the microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS-RPE). MiRNAs have been demonstrated to play critical roles in both maintaining pluripotency and facilitating differentiation. Gene expression networks accountable for maintenance and in...
متن کاملDetection of Retinal Pigment Epithelium-Specific Antibody in iPSC-Derived Retinal Pigment Epithelium Transplantation Models
Antibody-mediated rejection is characterized by donor-specific antibody produced by B cells. However, to our knowledge, B cell invasion and antibody in the inflamed retina after transplantation of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells has not been reported. To determine if RPE transplantation could be performed using allografts, we established in vivo immune rejection models with induced pluri...
متن کاملRetinal pigment epithelium-retina transplantation for retinal degenerative disease.
U N C O R R EC N THIS ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL, RADTKE AND ASSOCIates report on the results of a phase 2 clinical trial of fetal retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)–retina translantations in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and ge-related macular degeneration (AMD). Visual acuity VA) improved in seven of 10 study eyes and in three of 10 ellow control eyes. Some issues that merit consideration r...
متن کاملMorphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells after transplantation of stem cells into subretinal space
Introduction: Degenerative retinal diseases are main cause of irreversible blindness. Stem cells therapy is a promising way in these diseases. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells because of its safety can produce degenerated cells and can play important role in treatment. The aim of this study was to examine morphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor cells...
