Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can differentiate into functional cardiomyocytes; however, the electrophysiological properties of hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes have yet to be fully characterized. We performed detailed electrophysiological characterization of highly pure hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. Action potentials (APs) were recorded from spontaneously beating cardiomyocytes using a perforated patch method and had atrial-, nodal-, and ventricular-like properties. Ventricular-like APs were more common and had maximum diastolic potentials close to those of human cardiac myocytes, AP durations were within the range of the normal human electrocardiographic QT interval, and APs showed expected sensitivity to multiple drugs (tetrodotoxin, nifedipine, and E4031). Early afterdepolarizations (EADs) were induced with E4031 and were bradycardia dependent, and EAD peak voltage varied inversely with the EAD take-off potential. Gating properties of seven ionic currents were studied including sodium (I(Na)), L-type calcium (I(Ca)), hyperpolarization-activated pacemaker (I(f)), transient outward potassium (I(to)), inward rectifier potassium (I(K1)), and the rapidly and slowly activating components of delayed rectifier potassium (I(Kr) and I(Ks), respectively) current. The high purity and large cell numbers also enabled automated patch-clamp analysis. We conclude that these hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes have ionic currents and channel gating properties underlying their APs and EADs that are quantitatively similar to those reported for human cardiac myocytes. These hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes have the added advantage that they can be used in high-throughput assays, and they have the potential to impact multiple areas of cardiovascular research and therapeutic applications.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D002454 Cell Differentiation Progressive restriction of the developmental potential and increasing specialization of function that leads to the formation of specialized cells, tissues, and organs. Differentiation, Cell,Cell Differentiations,Differentiations, Cell
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
