Novel integrated workflow allows production and in-depth quality assessment of multifactorial reprogrammed skeletal muscle cells from human stem cells
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences(2022)
摘要
Skeletal muscle tissue engineering aims at generating biological substitutes that restore, maintain or improve normal muscle function; however, the quality of cells produced by current protocols remains insufficient. Here, we developed a multifactor-based protocol that combines adenovector (AdV)-mediated MYOD expression, small molecule inhibitor and growth factor treatment, and electrical pulse stimulation (EPS) to efficiently reprogram different types of human-derived multipotent stem cells into physiologically functional skeletal muscle cells (SMCs). The protocol was complemented through a novel in silico workflow that allows for in-depth estimation and potentially optimization of the quality of generated muscle tissue, based on the transcriptomes of transdifferentiated cells. We additionally patch-clamped phenotypic SMCs to associate their bioelectrical characteristics with their transcriptome reprogramming. Overall, we set up a comprehensive and dynamic approach at the nexus of viral vector-based technology, bioinformatics, and electrophysiology that facilitates production of high-quality skeletal muscle cells and can guide iterative cycles to improve myo-differentiation protocols.
