The author show generation and cardiomyocyte differentiation potential of iPS cells from thymic epithelial cells of a patient with ventricular septal defect (VSD) by overexpressing the four factors: OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, and LIN28 with lentiviral vectors. The self-renewal and pluripotency of the VSD-iPS cells was verified in iPS cells by in vitro expression of pluripotency markers and formation of teratoma in vivo.
In order to know the role ofPlatelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), the authors performed it knockdown in cultured cardiomyocytes thanks to a lentiviral vectors which expresses shRNA. They observed that the number of apoptotic cells and the level of LDH were significantly increased and that the beat rhythm was reduced.
