الوصف: Background Adult mammalian heart has limited capacity for regeneration. Cardiac injuries such as myocardial infarction lead to significant cardiomyocyte (CM) loss and subsequent heart failure with significant morbidity and mortality. Cell-based therapeutic approaches such as injection of stem cell-derived cells or transplantation of engineered cardiac tissue patches have shown promise to re-muscularize the damaged myocardium and enhance cardiac functions. Rationale: Modulating signaling pathways including Wnt and Hippo can induce cardiomyocyte proliferation in vivo. Applying these signaling modulators to human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) in vitro can expand CMs modestly (< 5-fold). Results Here, we demonstrate massive expansion of hiPSC-CMs in vitro (i.e. 100 to 250-fold) by glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) inhibition using CHIR99021 and concurrent removal of cell-cell contact. We show GSK-3β inhibition suppresses CM maturation while contact removal prevents CMs from cell cycle exit. Remarkably, contact removal enabled 10- to 25-times greater expansion beyond GSK-3β inhibition alone. Mechanistically, persistent CM proliferation required both LEF/TCF activity and AKT phosphorylation but was independent from Yes associated protein (YAP) signaling. Engineered heart tissues from expanded hiPSC-CMs showed comparable contractility to those from unexpanded hiPSC-CMs, demonstrating uncompromised cellular functionality after expansion. Conclusion In summary, we uncovered a molecular interplay that enables massive hiPSC-CMs expansion for large-scale drug screening and tissue engineering applications.
