AAV-mediated conversion of human pluripotent stem cell-derived pacemaker
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications(2017)
摘要
Malfunction of nodal pacemaker (Pm) cardiomyocytes (CMs) due to diseases or aging leads to rhythm generation disorders, necessitating electronic Pm implantation. We functionally reprogrammed human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) derived-ventricular (V) CMs into -PmCMs via recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (rAAV9)-mediated overexpression of engineered HCN1 channel (HCN1ΔΔΔ) whose S3-S4 linker has been strategically deleted by design to promote cardiac pacemaking. rAAV9-HCN1ΔΔΔ-reprogrammed hPSC-PmCMs converted from -VCMs showed automaticity and action potential parameters typical of native nodal PmCMs. Implantation of rAAV9-HCN1ΔΔΔ-based BPm in a preclinical porcine model of complete heart block significantly reduced the dependence on device-supported pacing and generated spontaneous heart rhythms from the BPm. Collectively, these results have further laid the groundwork on BPm for future translation.
