Modeling MEK inhibitor-Associated Retinopathy in vitro using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial cells

Lola P. Lozano, Madeleine K. Jennisch, Renato Jensen, Jason A Ratcliff, Luke A. Wiley, Brynnon E. Harman, Megan J. Riker, Allison T. Wright, Bradley A. Erickson, H. Culver Boldt, Timothy M. Boyce, Robert F. Mullins, Elaine M. Binkley, Budd A. Tucker

This study investigates the effects of MEK inhibitor selumetinib on hiPSC-derived RPE cells, finding increased internalization of rod outer segments and decreased aquaporin 1 expression, suggesting a mechanism for MEKAR.

Device-free isolation of photoreceptor cells from patient iPSC-derived retinal organoids

Nicholas E. Stone, Laura R. Bohrer, Nathaniel K. Mullin, Alexander Berthold, Allison T. Wright, Ian C. Han, Edwin M. Stone, Robert F. Mullins, Budd A. Tucker

This paper describes a method to isolate photoreceptor cells from retinal organoids without specialized equipment, using standard lab materials for potential clinical applications.

Loss of NR2E3 disrupts rod photoreceptor cell maturation causing a fate switch late in human retinal development.

Nathaniel K. Mullin, Laura R. Bohrer, Andrew P. Voigt, Lola P. Lozano, Allison T. Wright, Robert F. Mullins, Edwin M. Stone, Budd A. Tucker

This study uses human retinal organoids to show that loss of NR2E3 disrupts rod photoreceptor maturation, leading to a fate switch to cone-like cells.
