Chronic drug-induced effects on contractile motion properties and cardiac biomarkers in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.
British Journal of Pharmacology 2017 November
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In the pharmaceutical industry risk assessments of chronic cardiac safety liabilities are mostly performed during late stages of preclinical drug development using in vivo animal models. Here, we explored the potential of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPS-CMs) to detect chronic cardiac risks such as drug-induced cardiomyocyte toxicity.
EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Video microscopy-based motion field imaging was applied to evaluate the chronic effect (over 72 h) of cardiotoxic drugs on the contractile motion of hiPS-CMs. In parallel, the release of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), heart fatty acid binding protein (FABP3) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was analysed from cell medium, and transcriptional profiling of hiPS-CMs was done at the end of the experiment.
KEY RESULTS: Different cardiotoxic drugs altered the contractile motion properties of hiPS-CMs together with increasing the release of cardiac biomarkers. FABP3 and cTnI were shown to be potential surrogates to predict cardiotoxicity in hiPS-CMs, whereas NT-proBNP seemed to be a less valuable biomarker. Furthermore, drug-induced cardiotoxicity produced by chronic exposure of hiPS-CMs to arsenic trioxide, doxorubicin or panobinostat was associated with different profiles of changes in contractile parameters, biomarker release and transcriptional expression.
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: We have shown that a parallel assessment of motion field imaging-derived contractile properties, release of biomarkers and transcriptional changes can detect diverse mechanisms of chronic drug-induced cardiac liabilities in hiPS-CMs. Hence, hiPS-CMs could potentially improve and accelerate cardiovascular de-risking of compounds at earlier stages of drug discovery.
