For myocardial regeneration therapy, the low differentiation capability of functional cardiomyocytes sufficient to replace the damaged myocardial tissue is one of the major difficulties. Using Nkx2.5-GFP knock-in ES cells, we show a new efficient method to obtain cardiomyocytes from embryonic stein (ES) cells. The proportion of GFP-positive cells was significantly increased when ES cells were Cultured with a conditioned medium from aortic endothelial cells (ECs), accompanied by upregulation of cardiac-specific genes as well as other mesodermal genes. The promotion was more prominent when EC-conditioned medium was added at an early stage of ES cell differentiation culture (Day 0-3). Inhibitors of bone morphogenic protein (BMP), cyclooxygenase (COX), and nitric oxide synthetase (NO) prevented the promotion of cardiomyogenesis by EC-conditioned medium. These results suggest that supplementation of EC-conditioned medium enables cardiomyocytes to be obtained efficiently through promotion of mesoderm induction, which is regulated by BMP, COX, and NOS.
