The ability to regenerate damaged myocardium with tissue derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells is currently undergoing extensive investigation. As a prerequisite to transplantation therapy, strategies must be developed to induce ES cells to the cardiac phenotype. Toward this end, cues from mechanisms of embryonic induction have been exploited, based on previous findings that anterior lateral endoderm (precardiac endoderm) from gastrulation-stage chick embryos potently induces cardiac myocyte differentiation in both precardiac and nonprecardiac mesoderm. Hypothesizing that avian precardiac endoderm acting as feeder/inducer cells would induce high percentage conversion of murine ES (mES) cells into cardiac myocytes, it was observed that the majority (approximate to 65%) of cocultured ES cell-derived embryoid bodies (EBs) were enriched in cardiac myocytes and exhibited rhythmic contractions. By contrast, mouse EBs cultured alone, or on feeder layers of mouse embryonic fibroblasts or avian nonprecardiac posterior endoderm, contained only 7% to 16% cardiac myocytes while exhibiting a relatively low incidence (
