iCell® CardiomyocytesBasic cardiac research, drug discovery, and toxicity
testing require an in vitro system that recapitulates
native biology. FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics, Inc. (FCDI),
meets this need with iCell® Cardiomyocytes, human
cardiomyocytes with proven, predictive, and published
advantages over other cellular cardiac models for
faithfully and robustly reflecting cardiovascular disease
endpoints and for enabling early and accurate prediction
of drug-induced cardiotoxicity. The human biology,
ease of use, and far-reaching applicability of iCell
Cardiomyocytes has had a profound impact on academic
research and the search for new medicines and cures.
Genomic and Protein Characterization
iCell Cardiomyoctyes are differentiated from human
induced pluripotent stem cells. Whole-genome transcript
profiling and immunocytochemical characterization
demonstrate that iCell Cardiomyocytes exhibit a stable
human cardiac gene expression profile with proper
protein expression and localization necessary for cardiac
function.
Human cells: iCell Cardiomyocytes are terminally differentiated from human iPS cells and exhibit functional characteristics similar to native human cardiomyocytes.
Homogenous and reproducible: iCell Cardiomyocytes are highly pure, providing biologically relevant and reproducible results.
Acute and long-term testing: iCell Cardiomyocytes remain viable and pure in culture for weeks, enabling assessment of both acute and sub-chronic responses.
Easy to implement: iCell Cardiomyocytes are shipped cryopreserved with cell culture media specifically formulated for optimal cell performance. Simply thaw and use.
Advantages
p Figure 1: Stable and Appropriate Gene Expression Data for 203 cardiac genes demonstrate a stable genomic expression profile for iCell Cardiomyocytes that trends well with that of adult human cardiac tissue. (Data were provided by Hoffmann-La Roche and adapted from Babiarz et al. (2011) Stem Cells and Dev.)*

Electrophysiological Characterization
experiments demonstrate that the electrophysiological
properties of iCell Cardiomyocytes are similar to native
human cardiac myocytes.
t Figure 3: Action Potential RecordingSpontaneous action potentials are classified as atrial-, nodal-, and ventricular-like, with ~50% of the iCell Cardiomyocytes showing a ventricular-like action potential phenotype. (Data were adapted from Ma et al. (2011) Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol.)*

iCell Cardiomyocytes are electrically active with
spontaneously occurring action potentials driving rhythmic
contractions. High precision current- and voltage-clamp
Toxicity Testing
Cardiomyocytes especially well suited for discriminating
between generalized and cell-specific toxicities.
p Figure 5: Cell-specific Effects(A) General toxicants demonstrate adverse effects on iCell Cardiomyocytes. (B, C) The HDAC inhibitor Vorinostat (SAHA) shows cell-type specific toxicity. iCell Cardiomyocytes were unaffected by compound application whereas the commonly used immortalized K562 cell line showed clear toxicity. Using only immortalized cell lines in such cell-based assays could result in false positive or negative assessments of terminally differentiated cell toxicity. (Data were provided by Promega Corp.)*
