Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE35671: Comparison of mRNA expression profiling of differentiating human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)–derived cardiomyocytes, biopsies from fetal, adult and hypertensive human hearts and primary cardiomyocytes GSE35672: miRNA expression profiling of differentiating human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes Refer to individual Series
Project description:To gain insight into the molecular regulation of human heart development, a detailed comparison of the mRNA and miRNA transcriptomes across differentiating human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)–derived cardiomyocytes and biopsies from fetal, adult, and hypertensive human hearts was performed. Gene ontology analysis of the mRNA expression levels of the hiPSCs differentiating into cardiomyocytes revealed 3 distinct groups of genes: pluripotent specific, transitional cardiac specification, and mature cardiomyocyte specific. Hierarchical clustering of the mRNA data revealed that the transcriptome of hiPSC cardiomyocytes largely stabilizes 20 days after initiation of differentiation. Nevertheless, analysis of cells continuously cultured for 120 days indicated that the cardiomyocytes continued to mature toward a more adult-like gene expression pattern. Analysis of cardiomyocyte-specific miRNAs (miR-1, miR-133a/b, and miR-208a/b) revealed a miRNA pattern indicative of stem cell to cardiomyocyte specification. A biostatistitical approach integrated the miRNA and mRNA expression profiles revealing a cardiomyocyte differentiation miRNA network and identified putative mRNAs targeted by multiple miRNAs. Together, these data reveal the miRNA network in human heart development and support the notion that overlapping miRNA networks re-enforce transcriptional control during developmental specification. miRNA expression profiling of differentiating human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)–derived cardiomyocytes (days 0-120)

Project description:To investigate the changes in gene profiles during the long-term culture process of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes, we conducted microarray analysis on hiPSC(253G4 line)- derived cardiomyocytes at three time points: 20 days, 35 days, and 50 days after the initiation of differentiation induction.
Project description:Here we developed a novel human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) model of ARVC to gain insight into the electrical and biomolecular effects of desmoglein-2 (DSG2) mutation in cardiomyocytes. hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells donated by an ARVC patient with a pathogenic variant in DSG2, c.2358delA.
Project description:In this study, we employed an inducible CRISPRi human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line to silence TERT expression enabling the generation of hiPSCs and hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes with long and short telomeres. Reduced telomerase activity and shorter telomere lengths of hiPSCs strongly hampered their differentiation potential towards cardiomyocytes
Project description:The effect of cyclic mechanical stretch (0.5 Hz, 10-21% elongation) on gene expression of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) was studied using RNA sequencing.
