An in vitro comparison study: the effects of fetal bovine serum concentration on retinal progenitor cell multipotentiality.

Abstract:

:Retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) are an excellent resource for retinal replacement therapy, because they show enormous potential to differentiate into retinal-specific cell types. While the differentiating influence of serum has long been appreciated, the effects of serum concentration on RPC differentiation into specified retinal neural cells have not been investigated. Using cultured murine RPCs, this study compared the effects of different levels of fetal bovine serum (FBS) (1%, 5%, 10% and 20%) on RPC differentiation in vitro. RPC multipotentiality was assessed by using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to determine the relative expression levels of 10 genes involved in retinal development. In addition, analyses of cell morphology and retinal development-related protein expression were performed using microscopy and immunocytochemistry. The data revealed that 1% FBS-induced cultures preferentially generated rhodopsin- and PKC-α-positive cells. Calbindin and AP2α expression levels were greater in 5% FBS-induced cultures. Brn3a was expressed at similar levels in 1%, 5% and 10% FBS treatment conditions but diminished in 20% FBS conditions. Twenty percent FBS induced more glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP)-immunoreactive cells corresponding to glia populations. These findings suggest that the concentration of FBS plays an important role in RPC differentiation in vitro. Treatment with low levels of FBS favors differentiation of rhodopsin-positive photoreceptors, interneurons and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), while high FBS concentrations preferentially induce differentiation of glia cells. These results are expected to facilitate research in the treatment of neurodegenerative retinal diseases.
