Overview

Human H3 embryonic stem cells differentiated to cardiomyocytes

Human pluripotent stem cells have the potential to differentiate to all cell types of the human body, including cardiomyocytes. Since the adult human heart does not have the capacity to regenerate, loss of cardiomyocytes after myocardial infarction eventually may lead to heart failure[1]. Cardiomyocytes derived from human pluripotent stem cells may represent a source for future cell replacement in patients with cardiac injury. Furthermore, human cardiomyocytes may also be used for toxicity screening, drug discovery, and for studying mechanisms related to cardiac disease and development. It is important to study the regulatory molecular networks during cardiomyocyte differentiation in order to get a better understanding of processes such as specification, maturation and proliferation of cardiomyocytes. This will lead most likely to novel insights regarding endogenous cardiac regeneration, tissue engineering and cardiac disease.

Sample description

For the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells we used the human embryonic stem cell line HES3-GFP, ubiquitously expressing GFP. Previously, we have shown that co-culture of human embryonic stem cells with a mouse endoderm cell line, END-2, lead to beating cardiomyocytes within 12 days. END-2 cells were treated with mitocmycin C to block proliferation. In general, using this differentiation procedure (in the absence of serum) beating clusters contained 25 % cardiomyocytes[2], [3]. END-2 cells are cultured as a monolayer, whereas differentiated stem cells are grown on top as three-dimensional structures, which allows separation of human embryonic stem cell-derived populations. From undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells and every day during cardiomyocyte differentiation until day 12 samples were collected and used for RNA isolation (n=3).
