| To dissect genetic contribution to development of heart failure, i.e. dysfunction of cardiomyocytes, we intend to study induced pluripotent stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CM) from patients with a known genetic mutation. The control group consists of iPSC-CMs from the same patients in which the mutation has been corrected in the stem cells using Crispr-cas9 technology, before the cardiomyocytes will be differentiated. Alternatively, we will use commercially available and other normal iPSC lines as controls. The main endpoints for the induced pluripotent stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CM) are functional parameters: electrical conduction, calcium oscillations and force production. Corrected and uncorrected cardiomyocytes will be compared. We will perform RNA-sequencing and a modified form of RNA-sequencing (Ribo-Seq) to study the molecular consequences of the genetic mutation and stress-based effects. The iPSC-CM data will be correlated to the clinical phenotype of the patients. Due to the explorative nature of laboratory molecular research, endpoint of change of certain parameters cannot be given yet. In the patients in which also cultured residual tissue obtained at surgery is available, the endpoints of these LTS are force production and force-frequency relationships. | — |
