Scientists seek stem cell cure for blindness
British scientists have launched an ambitious project to cure the most common cause of age-related blindness by growing human eye tissue from stem cells. Around one-quarter of people aged over 60 in the UK suffer some loss of sight from age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The disease causes cells under the retina to degrade, leading to the death of light receptors in the eye and thus to blindness. There is presently no routine treatment for the condition. Lyndon Da Cruz, a consultant ophthalmic surgeon at Moorfields eye hospital in London, has been experimenting with a two-step surgical technique to repair AMD damage. First, healthy cells are harvested from a patient’s own eyes, then they are transplanted into the damaged area behind the centre of the retina. However, the procedure is difficult and can be fraught with complications. In the £4m London Project to Cure AMD, launched today, Dr Da Cruz will join a team of scientists from across the UK to simplify his pioneering operation by growing the vital retinal cells from stem cells, removing the need to harvest them from a patient’s own retina. Scientists at the University of Sheffield will grow the stem cells in 4-6mm oval patches, to the standards required for clinical use. “What we hope to have in a fridge or incubator is a patch of these cells. We would take that, open the eye and place it under [the retina]. That would enormously simplify this operation,” Dr Da Cruz said. Preliminary results from the current transplant technique indicate that stem cell transplants could work well. “Because we take very late-disease [cases], we can’t return people to normal. But the people who have done best have gone back to useful function; they’ve gone back to reading, seeing faces. “With the translocation, where you lift the retina and move it to the healthy cells, we’ve had spectacular results: people have got their driving licence back or gone back to reading newspapers. That gives some taste of what a perfect transplant might do.” By testing the safety of the stem cell technique and eventually increasing the production of replacement tissue, the aim of the London project is to make the operation routine, much like surgery to remove cataracts. “If it hasn’t become routine within 10 years, that would suggest a big problem with one of the three arms of the experiment: the cells, the ability to deliver them or the ability to scale up their production,” Dr Da Cruz said.
