USH2A mutation iPSCs generated retinal organoids have aberrant basement membrane and tight junctions. (A) Brightfield images of developing retinal organoids at day 18 and 26. (B–D) Immunostaining of retinal organoids showing the expression of Laminin and ZO-1 at day 18, 26, and 86. (E,F) qPCR analysis reveals mRNA levels of basement membrane and tight junction regulators, COL4A6, LAMb1, TNC, CLDN4, CLDN19, and TJP1 (GAPDH gene as a control). (G,H) Basement membrane and tight junction interactions associated DEGs at day 34 were picked and normalized by Z-scores. Red represents upregulated expression, blue represents downregulated expression, Bar is represents Z-score. (n = 5 independent experiments; each experiment need 4–6 organoids; scale bar = 200 μm).
