Twenty years after the initial description of a tissue engineered construct, 3-dimensional human cardiac tissues different kinds are now generated routinely in many laboratories. Advances stem cell biology and engineering allow for generation constructs that come close to recapitulating complex structure heart muscle might, therefore, be amenable industrial (eg, drug screening) clinical repair) applications. Whether more physiological provides relevant advantage over standard 2-dimensional culture has yet shown head-to-head-comparisons. The present article gives an overview on current strategies with focus hydrogel methods discusses perspectives challenges necessary steps toward real-life application disease modeling, development, repair.

The functions of the heart are achieved through coordination different cardiac cell subtypes (e.g., ventricular, atrial, conduction-tissue cardiomyocytes). Human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) offer unique opportunities for research. Traditional studies using these cells focused on single-cells and utilized mixed populations. Our goal was to develop clinically-relevant engineered tissues (EHTs) comprised chamber-specific hPSC-CMs. Here we show that such EHTs can be generated by directing hPSCs differentiate into ventricular or atrial cardiomyocytes, then embedding in a collagen-hydrogel create chamber-specific, ring-shaped, EHTs. display distinct versus phenotypes as revealed immunostaining, gene-expression, optical assessment action-potentials conduction velocity, pharmacology, mechanical force measurements. We also establish an EHT-based arrhythmia model confirm its usefulness applying relevant pharmacological interventions. Thus, our EHT models used disease modeling, pathophysiological drug testing.

Abstract Genetic engineering of allogeneic cell therapeutics that fully prevents rejection by a recipient’s immune system would abolish the requirement for immunosuppressive drugs or encapsulation and support large-scale manufacturing off-the-shelf products. Previously, we generated mouse human hypoimmune pluripotent (HIP) stem cells depleting HLA class I II molecules overexpressing CD47 ( B2M −/− CIITA + ). To determine whether this strategy is successful in non-human primates, engineered rhesus macaque HIP transplanted them intramuscularly into four macaques. The survived unrestricted 16 weeks immunocompetent recipients differentiated several lineages, whereas wild-type were vigorously rejected.

Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) have tremendous promise for application in cardiac regeneration, but their translational potential is limited by an immature phenotype. We hypothesized that large-scale manufacturing of mature hPSC-CMs could be achieved through culture on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-lined roller bottles and the transplantation these cells would mediate better structural functional outcomes than with conventional hPSC-CM populations.We comprehensively phenotyped after vitro maturation 20 40 days either PDMS or standard tissue plastic substrates. All were generated from a transgenic hPSC line stably expressed voltage-sensitive fluorescent reporter to facilitate vivo electrophysiological studies, cardiomyocyte populations also analyzed immunocytochemistry, ultrastructure calcium imaging, bulk single-cell transcriptomics. next compared into guinea pig model myocardial infarction using end points including histology, optical mapping graft- host-derived action potentials, echocardiography, telemetric electrocardiographic monitoring.We demonstrated economic generation >1×108 per PDMS-lined bottle. Compared counterparts substrates, PDMS-matured exhibited increased gene expression more properties vitro. More important, intracardiac grafts formed myocytes showed greatly enhanced structure alignment, host-graft electromechanical integration, less proarrhythmic behavior, greater beneficial effects contractile function.We describe practical methods scaled provide first evidence yields vivo.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia treatable with antiarrhythmic drugs; however, patient responses remain highly variable. Human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived atrial cardiomyocytes (iPSC-aCMs) are useful for discovering precision therapeutics, but current platforms yield phenotypically immature cells and not easily scalable high-throughput screening. Here, primary adult atrial, ventricular, fibroblasts greater functional iPSC-aCM maturation, partly through connexin-40 ephrin-B1 signaling. We developed a protein patterning process within multiwell plates to engineer patterned fibroblast coculture (PC) that significantly enhanced structural, electrical, contractile, metabolic maturation 6+ weeks compared conventional mono-/coculture. PC displayed sensitivity detecting drug efficacy than monoculture enabled modeling pharmacological or gene editing treatment of an AF-like electrophysiological phenotype due mutated sodium channel.
