Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a method for efficiently producing retinal pigment epithelial cells from pluripotent stem cells in high yield. The method also improves the efficiency of differentiation induction and allows for the obtainment of a high concentration of cells containing retinal pigment epithelial cells that are highly pure. The method also provides a simple and easy purification operation. Additionally, the cells are stable and not easily lost during medium exchange, making them ideal for further passaging.

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the low differentiation induction efficiency, these methods require plural steps combining adhesion culture and floating culture to obtain a highly concentrated cell population of retinal pigment epithelial cells, and have problems such as the required presence of a purification step with a high workload and a long time, which includes selectively picking up a colony of pigment cells under an optical microscope.
Moreover, these methods have a problem of easy cell loss during passage culture.
However, no report has documented utilization of such E8 fragment of laminin for other than culture of pluripotent stem cells, for example, differentiation induction of pluripotent stem cells and the like.
However, no report has documented use of the E8 fragment of laminin for the induction of differentiation of pluripotent stem cell into retinal pigment epithelial cell.

Production of RPE Cell (Other iPS Cell)

[0079]By a method similar to that of Example 1 except that iPS cells (201B7, provide by Kyoto University) derived from human skin (fibroblast) were used instead of iPS cells (112007, provide by Kyoto University) derived from human peripheral blood (mononuclear cell) were used, pigment cells were obtained.

[0080]As a result, like Example 1, the rate of generation of pigment cells relative to the seeded iPS cells was drastically improved and the differentiation induction efficiency was markedly improved.

Amplification of RPE Cell Derived from iPS Cell

[0081]The cell population containing pigment cells on Day 47, which underwent adhesion culture in the culture dish in Example 1 and Example 2, was treated with 0.01% Trypsin-0.53 mM EDTA and cell aggregates were detached from the culture dish. Then, adhesion between the cells was detached by mild pipetting. Protease liquid and residual impurities thereof in the cell mixture were removed together with the supernatant by centrifugation, then, unnecessary cells were separated by filtration separation through a cell strainer (DB Falcon Cell Strainer 40 μm Nylon), and a cell population containing RPE cells was recovered (Day 48).

[0082]The obtained cells were seeded in RPE maintenance medium described in Example 1 in the same 5 culture dishes coated with laminin-511 E8 as in Example 1 at 9×106 cells / 9 cm dish, and standing culture was performed until around Day 50 when adhesion of the RPE cell colony was confirmed.
