Human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) offer a powerful in-vitro tool to investigate disease mechanisms and to perform patient-specific drug screening. To date electrophysiological analysis of iPSC-CMs has been limited to single cell recordings or low resolution microelectrode array mapping of small cardiomyocyte aggregates. A new method of generating and optically mapping impulse propagation of large human iPSC-CM cardiac monolayers is needed. Our first aim was to develop an imaging platform with versatility for multi-parameter electrophysiological mapping of cardiac preparations, including human iPSC-CM monolayers. Our second aim was to create large electrically coupled human iPSC-CM monolayers for simultaneous action potential and calcium wave propagation measurements. A fluorescence imaging platform based on electronically-controlled light-emitting-diode (LED) illumination, a multi-band emission filter and single camera sensor was developed and utilized to monitor simultaneously action potential and intracellular calcium wave propagation in cardiac preparations. Multiple large diameter (≥1cm) electrically coupled human cardiac monolayers were then generated that propagated action potentials and calcium waves at velocities similar to those commonly observed in rodent cardiac monolayers. The multi-parametric imaging system presented here offers a scalable enabling technology to measure simultaneously action potential and intracellular calcium wave amplitude and dynamics of cardiac monolayers. The advent of large-scale production of human iPSC-CMs makes it possible now to generate sufficient numbers of uniform cardiac monolayers that can be utilized for the study of arrhythmia mechanisms and offers advantages over commonly used rodent models.
