Massive Expansion of Functional Human iPSC-derived Cardiomyocytes by Concomitant Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 Beta Inhibition and Removal of Cell-Cell Contact
Modulating signaling pathways including Wnt and Hippo can induce cardiomyocyte proliferation in vivo. Applying these signaling modulators to human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) in vitro can expand CMs only to modest extent (< 5-fold). Here, we demonstrate massive expansion of hiPSC-CMs in vitro (i.e. 100-250-fold) by glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) inhibition using CHIR99021 and concurrent removal of cell-cell contact. We show GSK-3β inhibition suppresses...
