Stem cell‐derived photoreceptor replacement therapy is a promising strategy for the treatment of retinal degenerative disease. The development of 3D retinal organoids has permitted the production of photoreceptors. However, there is no strategy to enrich a specific photoreceptor subtype due to inadequate knowledge of the molecular mechanism underlying the photoreceptor fate determination. Hence, our aim is to explore the uncharacterized function of somatostatin signalling in human pluripotent stem cell‐derived photoreceptor differentiation. 3D retinal organoids were achieved from human embryonic stem cell. The published single‐cell RNA‐sequencing datasets of human retinal development were utilized to further investigate the transcriptional regulation of photoreceptor differentiation. The assays of immunofluorescence staining, lentivirus transfection, real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were performed. We identified that the somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2)‐mediated signalling was essential for rod photoreceptor differentiation at the precursor stage. The addition of the cognate ligand somatostatin in human 3D retinal organoids promoted rod photoreceptor differentiation and inhibited cone photoreceptor production. Furthermore, we found that the genesis of rod photoreceptors was modulated by endogenous somatostatin specifically secreted by developing retinal ganglion cells. Our study identified SSTR2 signalling as a novel extrinsic regulator for rod photoreceptor fate determination in photoreceptor precursors, which expands the repertoire of functional signalling pathways in photoreceptor development and sheds light on the optimization of the photoreceptor enrichment strategy. The somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2)‐mediated signalling modulates the fate determination of photoreceptor precursors in hESC‐derived retinal organoids. The activation of SSTR2 signalling is critical for rod photoreceptor differentiation. Specifically, somatostatin increases rod photoreceptor production, while SSTR2 antagonist promotes the fate bias of photoreceptor precursors towards the cone photoreceptors.
