Transcriptomic analysis of 3D Cardiac Differentiation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Reveals Faster Cardiomyocyte Maturation Compared to 2D Culture.


ABSTRACT: Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) represent an almost limitless source of cells for disease modelling and drug screening applications. Here we established an efficient and robust 3D platform for cardiomyocyte (CMs) production from hiPSCs, solely through small-molecule-based temporal modulation of the Wnt signalling, which generates more than 90% cTNT+ cells. The impact of performing the differentiation process in 3D conditions as compared to a 2D culture system, was characterized by transcriptomic analysis by using data collected from sequential stages of 2D and 3D culture. We highlight that performing an initial period of hiPSC aggregation before cardiac differentiation primed hiPSCs towards an earlier mesendoderm lineage differentiation, via TGF-?/Nodal signaling stabilization. Importantly, it was also found that CMs in the 3D microenvironment mature earlier and show an improved communication system, which we suggested to be responsible for a higher structural and functional maturation of 3D cardiac aggregates.
