Oxygen-generating microparticles enhance viability and functionality of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes

Listed in NCBI GEO

Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) represent a promising therapy for myocardial infarction (MI), but their survival is severely limited by the hypoxic infarct environment.

Description

The optimal oxygen levels required to maintain the viability and functionality of hiPSC-CMs remain poorly defined. This study aimed to develop a controlled oxygen-delivery system to support engineered heart tissue (EHT) for cardiac regeneration.

Oxygen-generating particles (OGPs) were engineered using peroxide (sodium percarbonate) and antioxidant (β-carotene) components encapsulated in PLGA microparticles. The effects of OGPs on hiPSC-CMs were evaluated through oxidative stress assays, cell viability analysis, and contractility measurements. RNA-seq was performed to investigate gene expression changes in hiPSC-CMs in response to OGPs and hypoxic stress.

Transcriptomic analysis revealed that genes associated with CM maturation and contractile function were upregulated following OGP pretreatment. RNA-seq further demonstrated activation of oxygen-responsive metabolic pathways that facilitated cellular adaptation to hypoxic stress. OGP-mediated oxygen delivery offers a promising strategy for oxidative preconditioning and significantly improves the regenerative efficacy of hiPSC-CM-based cardiac therapies.
