Rebs S, Streckfuss-Bömeke K. How can we use stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes to understand the involvement of energetic metabolism in alterations of cardiac function? FRONTIERS IN MOLECULAR MEDICINE 2023; 3:1222986. [PMID: 39086669 PMCID: PMC11285589 DOI: 10.3389/fmmed.2023.1222986] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
Mutations in the mitochondrial-DNA or mitochondria related nuclear-encoded-DNA lead to various multisystemic disorders collectively termed mitochondrial diseases. One in three cases of mitochondrial disease affects the heart muscle, which is called mitochondrial cardiomyopathy (MCM) and is associated with hypertrophic, dilated, and noncompact cardiomyopathy. The heart is an organ with high energy demand, and mitochondria occupy 30%-40% of its cardiomyocyte-cell volume. Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to energy depletion and has detrimental effects on cardiac performance. However, disease development and progression in the context of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA mutations, remains incompletely understood. The system of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CM) is an excellent platform to study MCM since the unique genetic identity to their donors enables a robust recapitulation of the predicted phenotypes in a dish on a patient-specific level. Here, we focus on recent insights into MCM studied by patient-specific iPSC-CM and further discuss research gaps and advances in metabolic maturation of iPSC-CM, which is crucial for the study of mitochondrial dysfunction and to develop novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Mitochondrial cardiomyopathy (MCM) is characterized by abnormal heart-muscle structure and function, caused by mutations in the nuclear genome or mitochondrial DNA. The heterogeneity of gene mutations and various clinical presentations in patients with cardiomyopathy make its diagnosis, molecular mechanism, and therapeutics great challenges. This review describes the molecular epidemiology of MCM and its clinical features, reviews the promising diagnostic tests applied for mitochondrial diseases and cardiomyopathies, and details the animal and cellular models used for modeling cardiomyopathy and to investigate disease pathogenesis in a controlled in vitro environment. It also discusses the emerging therapeutics tested in pre-clinical and clinical studies of cardiac regeneration.

Abstract
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hIPSC) have been used to produce almost all types of human cells currently, which makes them into several potential applications with replicated patient-specific genotype. Furthermore, hIPSC derived cardiomyocytes assembled engineering heart tissue can be established to achieve multiple functional evaluations by tissue engineering technology. This short review summarized the current advanced applications based on the hIPSC derived heart tissue in molecular mechanisms elucidating and high throughput drug screening.
