ABSTRACT Immune rejection is a major barrier to the successful human embryonic stem cell‐derived retinal pigment epithelial (hESC‐RPE) transplantation for age‐related macular degeneration (AMD). Traditional strategies mitigate immune involve ablating histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on hESC‐RPE. An alternative approach checkpoint overexpression, avoiding natural killer (NK) cell‐mediated destruction due MHC‐I deficiency. Our study highlights benefits of PD‐L1 overexpression without requiring MHC gene deletion, which preserved immunosuppressive functions hESC‐RPE NK cells. In Vivo experiments in models showed that PD‐L1‐expressing grafts exhibited significantly higher survival, reduced apoptosis and enhanced visual protection. Single‐cell transcriptomics revealed activation oxidative stress PD‐L1‐overexpressing grafts. PD‐L1's protective role was further evidenced by improved light transduction host photoreceptors. These findings support as promising strategy improve efficiency hESC‐RPE‐based therapy AMD.

Objectives Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell transplantation holds therapeutic promise for retinal degenerative diseases, but longitudinal monitoring of graft survival and efficacy remains clinically challenging. The aim this study is to develop a simple effective method the quantification RPE immune rejection in vivo . Methods A nanoprobe was developed modified label donor cells, used monitor position intensity fluorescence signal Immunofluorescence staining single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) were characterize types showing determine composition microenvironment associated with subretinal transplantation. Results spatial distribution corresponded site transplantation, decreased over time, while extended choroid. Additionally, detected liver spleen during long-term monitoring. Conversely, mice administered immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine A, decrease slower expansion less pronounced. analysis revealed significant temporal increase proportion macrophages nanoprobe-labeled cells following stability cell-penetrating ability enables labeling niches scRNA-seq identified MDK ANXA1 signaling pathway as initiators cascade, which further amplified by macrophage-mediated pro-inflammatory signaling.

By increasing concentration, found that first crossover frequency shifted toward lower values, permittivity progressively increased. These changes attributed peroxidation since they diminished when measured treated with antioxidant N-acetylcysteine. Moreover, showed be enough efficiently separated, as demonstrated simulations.
