A COUP-TFII human embryonic stem cell reporter line to identify and purify atrial cardiomyocytes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Here, we targeted mCherry to the COUP-TFII genomic locus in NKX2.5eGFP/+ hPSCs. Upon differentiation to atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes (CMs) this dual atrial COUP-TFIImCherry/+-NKX2.5eGFP/+ reporter line allowed identification and selection of GFP+ (G+)/mCherry+ (M+) CMs following cardiac differentiation. These cells exhibited transcriptional and functional properties of atrial CMs, whereas G+/M- CMs displayed ventricular characteristics. Via CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout, we demonstrated that COUP-TFII is not required atrial specification in hPSCs.
