The procedure to efficiently and reproducibly differentiate retinal cells from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) is described below. Cells are taken through a stepwise protocol to direct them toward a neural fate by treatment with neural induction medium (NIM), then to a retinal fate by exposure to retinal differentiation medium (RDM). Undifferentiated hPSCs are enzymatically lifted from matrigel-coated plates and exposed to NIM in suspension. Differentiation in suspension allows the cells to form 3 dimensional aggregates. At 7 days of differentiation, aggregates are plated and attach to 6 well plates, where a neuroepithelial fate begins to be established. Upon 16 days of differentiation, neurospheres are lifted and maintained in RDM to create a three-dimensional optic vesicle-like structure. This procedure allows for the efficient and timely generation of a variety of retinal cell types, including ganglion cells, retinal pigment epithelium, as well as cone and rod photoreceptors. The use of this protocol to generate a myriad of retinal cell types facilitates in vitro studies of human retinogenesis, and will enable retinal dysfunction to be more easily studied in vitro, as well as providing a large population of cells with which to aid in drug development and patient specific therapies.
