Abstract
BACKGROUND Transplantation of pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes represents a promising therapeutic strategy for cardiac regeneration, and the first clinical studies in patients with heart failure have commenced. Yet, little is known about the mechanism of action underlying graft-induced benefits. Here, we explored whether transplanted cardiomyocytes actively contribute to heart function. METHODS We injected cardiomyocytes with an optogenetic off-on switch in a guinea pig cardiac injury model. RESULTS Light-induced inhibition of engrafted cardiomyocyte contractility resulted in a rapid decrease of left ventricular function in ≈50% (7/13) animals that was fully reversible with the offset of photostimulation. CONCLUSIONS Our optogenetic approach demonstrates that transplanted cardiomyocytes can actively participate in heart function, supporting the hypothesis that the delivery of new force-generating myocardium can serve as a regenerative therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Human engineered heart tissue (EHT) transplantation represents a potential regenerative strategy for patients with heart failure and has been successful in preclinical models. Clinical application requires upscaling, adaptation to good manufacturing practices, and determination of the effective dose.
