Electrophysiological profiling of Axiogenesis vCor.4U iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes

Poster Description

Here, we have assessed the suitability of Axiogenesis CorV.4U 2nd generation iPSC-CM for cardiotoxicity screening by evaluating their biophysical and pharmacological characteristics using three different methodologies:

  1. Whole-cell voltage clamp recordings to quantify inward Na+ and Ca2+ currents (INa and ICa), as well as outward and inward K+ currents (IK).
  2. Current clamp measurements of action potential (AP) parameters and pharmacology. Representative compounds from the CiPA validation toolbox in addition to compounds discriminating between atrial and ventricular phenotypes, were utilised in these experiments. These data confirmed the functional expression and pharmacology of typical cardiac currents, including INa, ICa, and IKr.
  3. Phenotypic measurements of impedance (contraction) and extracellular field potential (excitability) were made on the xCELLigence RTCA CardioECR platform.

Action Potential Waveform Analysis in Human iPSC-Cardiomyocytes Enables Mechanistic Assessment of Multichannel Cardiac Effects

Optical voltage imaging of human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes was used to assess electrophysiological effects of compounds beyond hERG inhibition. Action potential waveform analysis revealed compound-specific and concentration-dependent changes, enabling mechanistic differentiation of multichannel activity and demonstrating a human-relevant approach for translational cardiac safety assessment.
