Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Pompe disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.

ABSTRACT: Pompe disease (PD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that presents with progressive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. However, the detailed mechanism remains clarified. Herein, PD patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells were differentiated into cardiomyocytes (PD-iCMs) that exhibited cardiomyopathic features of PD, including decreased acid alpha-glucosidase activity, lysosomal glycogen accumulation and hypertrophy. The defective mitochondria were involved in the cardiac pathology as shown by the significantly decreased number of mitochondria and impaired respiratory function and ATP production in PD-iCMs, which was partially due to elevated levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species produced from depolarized mitochondria. Further analysis showed that impaired fusion and autoph
