摘要
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is cardiac disease characterized by increased left ventricular chamber volume and decreased systolic function. DCM patient-specific human induced-pluripotent stem cells-derived cardiomyocytes (DCM-hiPSC-CMs) were generated. We found that uniaxial stretch elicited a cytosolic [Ca2+]i rise in hiPSC-CMs. Compared to control-hiPSC-CMs, DCM-hiPSC-CMs displayed a greater magnitude of [Ca2+]i responses to the cell stretch of 10-15% elongation in length. This stretch-induced [Ca2+]i rise was abolished by removal of extracellular Ca2+ and markedly attenuated by TRPV4 inhibitors HC-067047 and RN-1734. Application of nifedipine and tranilast also reduced the [Ca2+]i response but to a lesser degree. Moreover, the augmented [Ca2+]i was decreased by cytochalasin D treatment. Taken together, our study for the first time demonstrated an abnormal TRPV4-related mechanosensitive Ca2+ signaling in DCM-hiPSC-CMs.
