Further studies with neonatal cardiac regeneration mouse model suggested that major source of new
CMs is existing CMs, with the possibility of involvement of cardiac stem cells. In a vast majority of
cases, this condition ensues as the consequence of an acute (myocardial infarction) or chronic
ischaemic injury to the myocardium, followed by irreversible loss of cardiomyocytes (CMs), since
these cells are incapable of clinically significant replication in adult life. Figure 4:
Electrophysiological characterization of cardiomyocytes. This paradigm has been shaken by recent
works indicating that postnatal adult cardiomyocytes are able to re-enter in the cell cycle and
proliferate. This translates to nearly 160,000 deaths each year, an average of 435 people each day or
one death every three minutes. Our BHF Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine Centre is currently
developing engineered heart tissue made from stem cell-derived cardiac muscle cells for grafting into
damaged hearts. These compounds were therefore re-evaluated under conditions that mimicked
reduced. By modulating retinoic acid signaling during hESC differentiation, we generated atrial-like
(hESC-atrial) and ventricular-like (hESC-ventricular) CMs. We found the expression of atrial-
specific ion channel genes, KCNA5 (encoding Kv1.5) and KCNJ3 (encoding Kir 3.1), in hESC-
atrial CMs and further demonstrated that these ion channel genes are regulated by COUP-TF
transcription factors. Constitutively active IK,ACh is predominantly observed in remodelled atria
from patients in permanent atrial fibrillation (AF). Using hiPSCs derived under chemically defined
conditions on synthetic matrices, we systematically developed an optimized cardiac differentiation
strategy, using a chemically defined medium consisting of just three components: the basal medium
RPMI 1640, L -ascorbic acid 2-phosphate and rice-derived recombinant human albumin. Nine
showed clear dose-dependence effects on field potential (FP) duration. Eleven reference compounds
were administrated to spontaneously beating clusters of cardiomyocytes from human pluripotent
stem cells (hPSC-CM) and the responses determined using multi-electrode arrays. Novel biomaterials
are being combined with the stem cells to produce an optimised functional cardiac patch. The cellular
and molecular mechanisms that control the regenerative capacity of the newt heart are unknown.
