Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited cardiac disorder that causes life-threatening arrhythmias and myocardial dysfunction. Pathogenic variants in Plakophilin-2 (PKP2), a desmosome component within specialized cardiac cell junctions, cause the majority of ACM cases. However, the molecular mechanisms by which PKP2 variants induce disease phenotypes remain unclear. Here we built bioengineered platforms using genetically modified human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes to model the early spatiotemporal process of cardiomyocyte junction assembly in vitro. Heterozygosity for truncating variant PKP2R413X reduced Wnt/β-catenin signaling, impaired myofibrillogenesis, delayed mechanical coupling, and reduced calcium wave velocity in engineered tissues. These abnormalities were ameliorated by SB216763, which activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling, improved cytoskeletal organization, restored cell junction integrity in cell pairs, and improved calcium wave velocity in engineered tissues. Together, these findings highlight the therapeutic potential of modulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling in a human model of ACM. Characterized the spatiotemporal assembly of cell junctions in hiPSC-CM cell pairs ACM pathogenic variant compromised cytoskeletal and cell junction self-assembly ACM pathogenic variant reduced calcium wave velocity in engineered cardiac tissues Wnt/β-catenin activation by SB216763 restored these in vitro ACM phenotypes Pu et al. investigate the effect of a pathogenic arrhythmic cardiomyopathy variant on cell-cell junction structure and function. Using bioengineered tissues assembled from human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, the team showed that the variant impaired cell-cell junction formation and slowed cardiac impulse propagation.
