Abstract

Recent withdrawals of prescription drugs from clinical use because of unexpected side effects on the heart have highlighted the need for more reliable cardiac safety pharmacology assays. Block of the human Ether-a-go go Related Gene (hERG) ion channel in particular is associated with life-threatening arrhythmias, such as Torsade de Pointes (TdP). Here we investigated human cardiomyocytes derived from pluripotent (embryonic) stem cells (hESC) as a renewable, scalable, and reproducible system on which to base cardiac safety pharmacology assays. Analyses of extracellular field potentials in hESC-derived cardiomyocytes (hESC-CM) and generation of derivative field potential duration (FPD) values showed dose-dependent responses for 12 cardiac and noncardiac drugs. Serum levels in patients of drugs with known effects on QT interval overlapped with prolonged FPD values derived from hESC-CM, as predicted. We thus propose hESC-CM FPD prolongation as a safety criterion for preclinical evaluation of new drugs in development. This is the first study in which dose responses of such a wide range of compounds on hESC-CM have been generated and shown to be predictive of clinical effects. We propose that assays based on hESC-CM could complement or potentially replace some of the preclinical cardiac toxicity screening tests currently used for lead optimization and further development of new drugs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
