Stargardt retinopathy is an inherited form of macular degeneration caused by mutations in gene ABCA4 and characterized by the accumulation of lipid-rich deposits in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), RPE atrophy, and photoreceptor cell death. Inadequate mechanistic insights into pathophysiological changes occurring in Stargardt RPE have hindered disease treatments. Here, we show that ABCA4 knockout and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived RPE (STGD1-iRPE) from patients with Stargardt differentiate normally but display intracellular lipid and ceramide deposits reminiscent of the disease phenotype. STGD1-iRPE also shows defective photoreceptor outer segment (POS) processing and reduced cathepsin B activity—indicating higher lysosomal pH. Lipid deposits in STGD1-iRPE are lowered by increasing the activity of ABCA1, a lipid transporter, and ABCA4 ortholog. Our work suggests that ABCA4 is involved in POS and lipid handling in RPE cells and provides guidance for ongoing gene therapy approaches to target both RPE and photoreceptor cells for an effective treatment. ABCA4 loss-of-function (LOF) iPSC-RPEs differentiate normally ABCA4 LOF causes cell-autonomous lipid deposits in iPSC-RPE ABCA4 LOF causes defective POS digestion via disrupted lysosomal function In this article, Mitra Farnoodian, Kapil Bharti, and colleagues show that ABCA4 loss of function (LOF) promotes cell-autonomous intra/sub-cellular lipid deposits in the human iPSC-derived RPE—a primary site of injury in Stargardt and other age-related maculopathies. ABCA4 LOF in RPE disrupts endo-lysosomal function contributing to defective POS digestion, lipid handling, and the formation of lipid deposits.
