Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (Neo- CM) served as the positive cardiomyocyte (CM) control and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) served as the negative control. Embryoid bodies (EB) from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) on day 10 were used to determine the efficiency of lentivirus-based NCX1/ZsGreen1 vector (NCX1/GFP) transduction for iPSC differentiation to cardiac progenitor cells (CPC). (B) High- quality CPC overexpressing NCX1 + /GFP + were obtained after treatment with puromycin (1.5 μg/ml) and sorted by fluorescence- activated cell sorting (FACS) (B-1). Amplified gene expression was confirmed in NCX1 + and NCX1 − by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) (B-2). In contrast to NCX1 − /GFP − cells (B-3), NCX1 + /GFP + cells, sorted by FACS, were differentiated (B-4) and developed prominent beating areas with sustained contractile activity for an additional 4 days. Positive expression of gap junction was identified by CX43 (B-4a). (C) Cells from the same clone show uniformly high GFP (NCX1/ZsGreen1) expression and differentiation into CM as confirmed by the CM-specific marker troponin I staining (red). (D) CD31 + cells identified by immunostaining (D-1), percentage of CD31 + /GFP + cells from 14-day-old EB sorted by FACS (D-2), and vascular gene expression obtained by qPCR (D-3). *p < 0.05 versus CD31 − cells. All values expressed as mean ± SEM; 6 for each group. (E) Patches actively contract and relax in response to electrical stimulation. A representative CM patch derived from NCX1 + /GFP + iPSC was electrically stimulated at frequencies from 0.0 to 5.0 Hz. (F) Characteristics of iPSC-derived tricell patch (Tri-P). Tri-P containing all 3 cell types (CM + endothelial cells [EC] + mouse embryonic fibroblast [MEF]) promoted vessel formation by significant expression of CD31 (green) in comparison with patches containing only CM or CM and EC. Troponin I was used to identify CM (red), 4,6-diamino-2- phenylindole (DAPI) was used to identify all nuclei (blue). (G) Quantitative data for vessel number in 3 types of cell cultures. *p < 0.05 versus CM or CM + EC. All values expressed as mean ± SEM; n = 6 in each group. (H) Quantitative data showed no significant difference in vessel number in Tri-P despite increasing ratios of MEF to EC and CM. Differentiated CM from NCX1 + /GFP + iPSC. †p < 0.05 versus EC. All values expressed as mean ± SEM; n = 6 for each group. Ang1 = angiopoietin-1. Figure Legend:
