Research Abstract |
For clinical application of regenerative medicine against severe ocular diseases, we investigated the ocular tissue-specific stem cells as a cell source for the target cells. We shown that modulation of retinal transcription factor gene expression in human RSCs greatly enriches for photoreceptor progeny, and that strong enrichment was obtained with the combined transduction of OTX2 and CRX together with the modulation of CHX10. These results were published on Stem Cells 2010 ; 28 : 489-500. In corneal regeneration therapy, we investigated the feeder cells for the cultivated cell sheet transplantation.
