          Abstract

          The use of human pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC‐CMs) is limited in drug discovery and cardiac disease mechanism studies due to cell immaturity. Micro‐scaled grooves can promote the maturation of cardiomyocytes by aligning them in order, but the mechanism of cardiomyocytes alignment has not been studied. From the level of calcium activity, gene expression and cell morphology, we verified that the W20H5 grooves can effectively promote the maturation of cardiomyocytes. The transient receptor potential channels (TRP channels) also play an important role in the maturation and development of cardiomyocytes. These findings support the engineered hPSC‐CMs as a powerful model to study cardiac disease mechanism and partly mimic the myocardial morphological development. The important role of the TRP channels in the maturation and development of myocardium is first revealed.

          Advanced maturation of human cardiac tissue grown from pluripotent stem cells

          Cardiac tissues generated from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can serve as platforms for patient-specific studies of physiology and disease 1–6 . The predictive power of these models remains limited by their immature state 1,2,5,6 . We show that this fundamental limitation could be overcome if cardiac tissues are formed from early iPS-derived cardiomyocytes (iPS-CM), soon after the initiation of spontaneous contractions, and subjected to physical conditioning of an increasing intensity. After only 4 weeks of culture, these tissues displayed adult-like gene expression profiles, remarkably organized ultrastructure, physiologic sarcomere length (2.2 μm) and density of mitochondria (30%), the presence of transverse tubules (t-tubules), oxidative metabolism, positive force-frequency relationship, and functional calcium handling for all iPS cell lines studied. Electromechanical properties developed more slowly and did not achieve the stage of maturity seen in adult human myocardium. Tissue maturity was necessary for achieving physiologic responses to isoproterenol and recapitulating pathological hypertrophy, in support of the utility of this tissue model for studies of cardiac development and disease.

            Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes: insights into molecular, cellular, and functional phenotypes.

            Disease models are essential for understanding cardiovascular disease pathogenesis and developing new therapeutics. The human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has generated significant enthusiasm for its potential application in basic and translational cardiac research. Patient-specific iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes offer an attractive experimental platform to model cardiovascular diseases, study the earliest stages of human development, accelerate predictive drug toxicology tests, and advance potential regenerative therapies. Harnessing the power of iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes could eliminate confounding species-specific and interpersonal variations and ultimately pave the way for the development of personalized medicine for cardiovascular diseases. However, the predictive power of iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes as a valuable model is contingent on comprehensive and rigorous molecular and functional characterization.

              Biowire: a new platform for maturation of human pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes

              Directed differentiation protocols enable derivation of cardiomyocytes from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) and permit engineering of human myocardium in vitro. However, hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes are reflective of very early human development, limiting their utility in the generation of in vitro models of mature myocardium. Here, we developed a new platform that combines three-dimensional cell cultivation in a microfabricated system with electrical stimulation to mature hPSC-derived cardiac tissues. We utilized quantitative structural, molecular and electrophysiological analyses to elucidate the responses of immature human myocardium to electrical stimulation and pacing. We demonstrated that the engineered platform allowed for the generation of 3-dimensional, aligned cardiac tissues (biowires) with frequent striations. Biowires submitted to electrical stimulation markedly increased myofibril ultrastructural organization, displayed elevated conduction velocity and altered both the electrophysiological and Ca2+ handling properties versus non-stimulated controls. These changes were in agreement with cardiomyocyte maturation and were dependent on the stimulation rate.
