JAK2 as a surface marker for enrichment of human pluripotent stem cells-derived ventricular cardiomyocytes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The generation and purification of cardiomyocyte sub-population are critical for precise modelling of cardiac diseases, drug screening, and regenerative medicine due to their distinct phenotypic and functional characteristics. Therefore, identifying surface markers for cardiomyocyte subtypes that facilitate live cell sorting of homogenous population of cardiomyocytes is of utmost importance for successful translation of cardiovascular research and therapeutic applications. Using MARIS method coupled with RNA sequencing analysis on MLC2A- and MLC2V-expressing cardiomyocytes, we identified JAK2 as a potential cell surface marker for purifying ventricular cardiomyocytes. We demonstrated that that SIRPA+/JAK2+ population sorted expressed high levels of ventricular-specific marker and had electrophysiological properties that corresponded to ventricular-like cardiomyocytes. Functionally, SIRPA+/JAK2+ cardiomyocytes do not response to vernakalant, an atrial-selective anti-arrhythmic agent, confirming their identity as ventricular-like cells.
