Description

Preparation method of Muller cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells
The technical field is as follows:
the invention belongs to the technical field of cell biology, and particularly relates to a preparation method of Muller cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells.
Background art:
muller cells are the major glial cells of vertebrate retinas and play important physiological functions in the retina, including the formation of the blood retinal barrier, maintaining retinal integrity, etc. They also provide neurotrophic, metabolic and antioxidant support to retinal neurons and regulate neuronal activity through neurotransmitter circulation, with neuroprotective effects (brinkmann et al, 2009; Eastlake et al, 2020; Reichenbach and brinkmann, 2013).
Currently, studies in several lower animal models have shown that under pathological conditions muller cells can dedifferentiate to form retinal precursor-like cells with the potential to differentiate to obtain other retinal cell types, complementing neurons damaged under pathological conditions (Raymond et al, 2006). Thus, over a decade scientists have endeavored to explore the regenerative potential of muller cells and their mechanisms, and it is expected that muller cells will be used to develop new strategies for the treatment of advanced stage neuroretinopathy. It has been found that M uller cells are activated by various pathogenic stimuli (e.g. hypoxia) in various types of human retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and retinal degenerative diseases (Bringmann et al, 2006). Slight activation of Muller cells may promote the survival of retinal neurons and thus repair the retina. But continued activation may also lead to the formation of reactive gliosis, glial scarring, accelerated retinal neurodegeneration, and severely hamper retinal repair. However, the problems of regeneration ability, regeneration-related mechanism, ability to repair damaged retina, and transformation of clinical treatment in human retina and muller cells are still unclear, and a great deal of preclinical research is urgently needed.
However, since it is difficult for humans to perform in vivo experiments like animal models, the progress of human muller cell-related studies has been largely hampered by past observations of clinical patients. And human muller cells are difficult to obtain in large quantities due to the limited source of human tissue cells, and the physiological characteristics of muller cells are still not well understood. Furthermore, to date, human Muller cells have been isolated primarily from human cadaver donors and specimens remaining after vitreoretinal surgery (Limb et al, 2002; Lawrence et al, 2007). However, in adult retinas, astrocytes, which share many features with muller cells, are also present in the retinal nerve fiber layer, interfering with the expansion and purification of muller cells (Lawrence et al, 2007). In addition, Muller cells derived from human donor tissue are prone to immune rejection and risk of disease transmission, and are not suitable for future clinical applications (Eastlake et al, 2019).
The rapid development of human pluripotent stem cells has made it possible to solve the above problems. Scientists have generated three-dimensional retinal organoids from human pluripotent stem cells that are capable of reproducing human retinal development and forming retinal tissue containing all retinal cell types (Zhong et al, 2014; Li et al, 2018; Guan et al, 2021). Studies have shown that Muller cells are the only glial cell type sharing common retinal precursor cells with retinal neurons, and that they can appear and survive in human pluripotent stem cell-derived retinal organoids (Zhong et al, 2014; Fligor et al, 2018; Capowski et al, 2019; Singh et al, 2021).
