[HTML][HTML] Structural phenotyping of stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes
Stem cell reports, 2015•cell.com
Structural phenotyping based on classical image feature detection has been adopted to
elucidate the molecular mechanisms behind genetically or pharmacologically induced
changes in cell morphology. Here, we developed a set of 11 metrics to capture the
increasing sarcomere organization that occurs intracellularly during striated muscle cell
development. To test our metrics, we analyzed the localization of the contractile protein α-
actinin in a variety of primary and stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes. Further, we combined …

Summary
Structural phenotyping based on classical image feature detection has been adopted to elucidate the molecular mechanisms behind genetically or pharmacologically induced changes in cell morphology. Here, we developed a set of 11 metrics to capture the increasing sarcomere organization that occurs intracellularly during striated muscle cell development. To test our metrics, we analyzed the localization of the contractile protein α-actinin in a variety of primary and stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes. Further, we combined these metrics with data mining algorithms to unbiasedly score the phenotypic maturity of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.
