Phenotypic screens in iCell Cardiomyocytes were
utilized to show functional effects of target modulation
Impedance measurements show rhythm and contractile phenotype

iCell Cardiomyocytes can be used for induced and innate disease modeling
17
iCell Cardiomyocytes were used to verify
a potential therapeutic target for human
dilated cardiomyopathy
Over-expression and knockdown of
target in iCell Cardiomyocytes affected
related proteins
Confocal imaging demonstrates effects of ILK on Ca2+ transients
iCell Cardiomyocytes provided a model
for in-vitro target validation and
subsequent functional screens
Phenotypic screens in iCell Cardiomyocytes were
utilized to show functional effects of target modulation
Impedance measurements show rhythm and contractile phenotype
Over-expression of target increases function
ILK is in a protein scaffold from control but not DCM

Does this represent a potential DCM targets

Differentiation protocol optimized to work robustly across all lines
128 iPS cell lines (1 per donor) are differentiated or in progress
Cardiomyocytes from 89 donors cryopreserved amp all pass QC
20 batches of cardiomyocytes are in currently being tested in
hypertrophy assays
Initial data show Et-1 EC50 correlation with progression of disease (Uli Broeckel MCOW)
