Patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells implicate intrinsic impaired contractility in hypoplastic left heart syndrome
Circulation, 2020•Am Heart Assoc
A, Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were derived from patients with hypoplastic left
heart syndrome (HLHS) and controls. IPSCs were differentiated into cardiomyocytes (iPSC-
CMs) using standard Wnt pathway modulation protocols. On day 30 of differentiation, iPSC-
CMs were subjected to assays of contractility, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and
mitochondrial function. B, Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) expression in control and HLHS day 30
iPSC-CMs was measured by using flow cytometry. No significant difference was identified in …

B, Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) expression in control and HLHS day 30 iPSC-CMs was measured by using flow cytometry. No significant difference was identified in cardiac differentiation efficiency comparing pooled iPSC lines from control individuals (n= 5 lines, 6 biological replicates) with those from 3 HLHS individuals (HLHS1, HLHS2, HLHS3, n= 12 biological replicates each).(Continued)
