Abstract
Regenerative medicine in the field of ophthalmology was revolutionized in the 1990s through stem cell-based therapies focusing on treating corneal diseases1. However, there still exist numerous incurable diseases associated with the perceptive part itself, the retina. The pathogenesis of the multiple forms of retinopathies is often associated with the dysfunction and loss of retinal cell types, including retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Our objective is, thus, to establish for the first time in the Czech Republic the current Good Manufacturing Practise (cGMP) compliant methodological and regulatory grounds for producing a key component of the Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product – human pluripotent stem cell-derived RPE cells2. By doing so, we aim to contribute to the advancement of regenerative medicine, particularly in the treatment of retinal diseases. In our ongoing research, we have determined the optimal conditions for differentiation of hPSC into RPE cells, utilizing established protocols as a foundational reference. We have started with the establishment of the morphological, molecular, and functional criteria to assess the efficacy of the differentiation process, alongside a comprehensive evaluation of the genetic stability to ensure their safety. Our next steps involve the crucial transfer of this methodology to cGMP conditions, laying the groundwork for the translation of our findings into the realm of clinical applications.
