An in silico hybrid model to derive electrical biomarkers to be used as inputs for an unsupervised learning algorithm to classify differentiated hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes from a mixed population of ventricular- and atrial-like cells.Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CM) constitute a mixed population of ventricular-, atrial-, nodal-like cells, limiting the reliability for studying chamber-specific disease mechanisms.

Our aim was to use in silico models to develop an automated approach for discriminating the electrophysiological differences between hiPSC-CM.

Abstract
An in silico hybrid model to derive electrical biomarkers to be used as inputs for an unsupervised learning algorithm to classify differentiated hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes from a mixed population of ventricular- and atrial-like cells.Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CM) constitute a mixed population of ventricular-, atrial-, nodal-like cells, limiting the reliability for studying chamber-specific disease mechanisms. Previous studies characterised CM phenotype based on action potential (AP) morphology, but the classification criteria were still undefined. Our aim was to use in silico models to develop an automated approach for discriminating the electrophysiological differences between hiPSC-CM. We propose the dynamic clamp (DC) technique with the injection of a specific I-K1 current as a tool for deriving nine electrical biomarkers and blindly classifying differentiated CM. An unsupervised learning algorithm was applied to discriminate CM phenotypes and principal component analysis was used to visualise cell clustering. Pharmacological validation was performed by specific ion channel blocker and receptor agonist. The proposed approach improves the translational relevance of the hiPSC-CM model for studying mechanisms underlying inherited or acquired atrial arrhythmias in human CM, and for screening anti-arrhythmic agents.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
