Abstract

To realize the full scientific and clinical potential of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-cardiomyocytes, strategies to overcome the high degree of heterogeneity of differentiated populations are required. Here we demonstrate the utility of two transgenic approaches in enrichment of cardiomyocytes derived from HUES-7 cells: (i) negative selection of proliferating cells with the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase/ganciclovir (HSVtk/GCV) suicide gene system; and (ii) positive selection of cardiomyocytes expressing a bicistronic reporter [green fluorescent protein (GFP)-internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-puromycin-N-acetyltransferase (PAC)] from the human alphamyosin heavy chain promoter. Parental and transgenic HUES-7 cells were similar with regard to morphology, pluripotency marker expression, differentiation, and cardiomyocyte electrophysiology. Whereas immunostaining of dissociated cardiomyocyte preparations expressing HSVtk or PAC contained <7% cardiomyocytes, parallel cultures treated with GCV or puromycin, respectively, contained 33.4 +/- 2.1% or 91.5 +/- 4.3% cardiomyocytes corresponding to an enrichment factor of 6.7- or 14.5-fold. Drug-selected cardiomyocytes responded to chronotropic stimulation and displayed cardiac-specific action potentials, demonstrating that functionality was retained. Both transgenic strategies will be generically applicable and should readily translate to the enrichment of many other differentiated lineages derived from hESCs.

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.
