In vitro model of ischemic heart failure using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.

ABSTRACT: Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) have been used extensively to model inherited heart diseases, but hiPSC-CM models of ischemic heart disease are lacking. Here, our objective was to generate an hiPSC-CM model of ischemic heart disease. To this end, hiPSCs were differentiated into functional hiPSC-CMs and then purified using either a simulated ischemia media or by using magnetic antibody-based purification targeting the nonmyocyte population for depletion from the cell population. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed that each purification approach generated hiPSC-CM cultures that had more than 94% cTnT+ cells. After purification, hiPSC-CMs were replated as confluent syncytial monolayers for electrophysiological phenotype analysis and protein expression by
