PURPOSE: Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived retinal organoids are a
platform for investigating retinal development, pathophysiology, and cellular
therapies. In contrast to histologic analysis in which multiple specimens fixed
at different times are used to reconstruct developmental processes, repeated
analysis of the same living organoids provides a more direct means to
characterize changes. New live imaging modalities can provide insights into
retinal organoid structure and metabolic function during in vitro growth. This
study employed live tissue imaging to characterize retinal organoid development,
including metabolic changes accompanying photoreceptor differentiation. METHODS:
Live hPSC-derived retinal organoids at different developmental stages were
examined for microanatomic organization and metabolic function by phase contrast
microscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescence lifetime imaging
microscopy (FLIM), and hyperspectral imaging (HSpec). Features were compared to
those revealed by histologic staining, immunostaining, and microcomputed
tomography (micro-CT) of fixed organoid tissue. RESULTS: We used FLIM and HSpec
to detect changes in metabolic activity as organoids differentiated into
organized lamellae. FLIM detected increased glycolytic activity and HSpec
detected retinol and retinoic acid accumulation in the organoid outer layer,
coinciding with photoreceptor genesis. OCT enabled imaging of lamellae formed
during organoid maturation. Micro-CT revealed three-dimensional structure, but
failed to detect lamellae. CONCLUSIONS: Live imaging modalities facilitate
real-time and nondestructive imaging of retinal organoids as they organize into
lamellar structures. FLIM and HSpec enable rapid detection of lamellar structure
and photoreceptor metabolism. Live imaging techniques may aid in the continuous
evaluation of retinal organoid development in diverse experimental and cell
therapy settings.
