Popis: | Significance As a genetic malignancy, retinoblastoma (Rb) is caused by RB1 mutations; however, its developmental origin and drug agents for human Rb remain largely unexplored. Here we describe an innovative Rb organoid model derived from human embryonic stem cells with a biallelic mutagenesis of the RB1 gene. We identify tumorigenic growth in the Rb organoids, as well as properties consistent with human primary Rb. We confirm that the Rb cell of origin stemmed from ARR3+ maturing cone precursor cells and SYK inhibitors displaying a significant therapeutic response. Our elegant in-dish Rb organoid model can be used to efficiently and effectively dissect the origin of Rb and mechanisms of Rb tumorigenesis, as well as screen novel therapies. Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most prevalent intraocular malignancy in children, with a worldwide survival rate |
