Abstract
Cardiac biological pacing (BP) is one of the future directions for bradyarrhythmias intervention. Currently, cardiac pacemaker cells (PCs) used for cardiac BP are mainly derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). However, the production of high-quality cardiac PCs from PSCs remains a challenge. Here, we developed a cardiac PC differentiation strategy by adopting dual PC markers and simulating the developmental route of PCs. First, two PC markers, Shox2 and Hcn4, were selected to establish Shox2:EGFP; Hcn4:mCherry mouse PSC reporter line. Then, by stepwise guiding naïve PSCs to cardiac PCs following naïve to formative pluripotency transition and manipulating signaling pathways during cardiac PCs differentiation, we designed the FSK method that increased the yield of SHOX2+; HCN4+ cells with typical PC characteristics, which was 12 and 42 folds higher than that of the embryoid body (EB) and the monolayer M10 methods respectively. In addition, the in vitro cardiac PCs differentiation trajectory was mapped by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), which resembled in vivo PCs development, and ZFP503 was verified as a key regulator of cardiac PCs differentiation. These PSC-derived cardiac PCs have the potential to drive advances in cardiac BP technology, help with the understanding of PCs (patho)physiology, and benefit drug discovery for PC-related diseases as well.

Inhibitory effects of class I antiarrhythmic agents on Na + and Ca 2+ currents of human iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes. Regen Ther 2019; 10:104-111.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) harboring cardiac myosin heavy chain 6 promoter can differentiate into functional cardiomyocytes called "iCell cardiomyocytes" under blasticidin treatment condition. While iCell cardiomyocytes are expected to be used for predicting cardiotoxicity of drugs, their responses to antiarrhythmic agents remain to be elucidated. We first examined electrophysiological properties of iCell cardiomyocytes and mRNA levels of ion channels and Ca handling proteins, and then evaluated effects of class I antiarrhythmic agents on their Na+ and Ca2+ currents. METHODS iCell cardiomyocytes were cultured for 8-14 days (38-44 days after inducing their differentiation), according to the manufacturer's protocol. We determined their action potentials (APs) and sarcolemmal ionic currents using whole-cell patch clamp techniques, and also mRNA levels of ion channels and Ca handling proteins by RT-PCR. Effects of three class I antiarrhythmic agents, pirmenol, pilsicainide and mexiletine, on Na+ channel current (INa) and L-type Ca2+ channel current (ICaL) were evaluated by the whole-cell patch clamp. RESULTS iCell cardiomyocytes revealed sinoatrial node-type (18%), atrial-type (18%) and ventricular-type (64%) spontaneous APs. The maximum peak amplitudes of INa, ICaL, and rapidly-activating delayed-rectifier K+ channel current were -62.7 ± 13.7, -8.1 ± 0.7, and 3.0 ± 1.0 pA/pF, respectively. The hyperpolarization-activated cation channel and inward-rectifier K+ channel currents were observed, whereas the T-type Ca2+ channel or slowly-activating delayed-rectifier K+ channel current was not detectable. mRNAs of Nav1.5, Cav1.2, Kir2.1, HCN4, KvLQT1, hERG and SERCA2 were detected, while that of HCN1, minK or MiRP was not. The class Ia antiarrhythmic agent pirmenol and class Ic agent pilsicainide blocked INa in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 of 0.87 ± 0.37 and 0.88 ± 0.16 μM, respectively; the class Ib agent mexiletine revealed weak INa block with a higher IC50 of 30.0 ± 3.0 μM. Pirmenol, pilsicainide and mexiletine blocked ICaL with IC50 of 2.00 ± 0.39, 7.7 ± 2.5 and 5.0 ± 0.1 μM, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In iCell cardiomyocytes, INa was blocked by the class Ia and Ic antiarrhythmic agents and ICaL was blocked by all the class I agents within the ranges of clinical concentrations, suggesting their cardiotoxicity.
