abstract = {Pathophysiological conditions, such as myocardial
infarction and mechanical overload affect the mammalian
heart integrity, leading to a stiffened fibrotic tissue.
With respect to the pathophysiology of cardiac fibrosis but
also in the limelight of upcoming approaches of cardiac cell
therapy it is of interest to decipher the interaction of
cardiomyocytes with fibrotic matrix. Therefore, we designed
a hydrogel-based model to engineer fibrotic tissue in vitro
as an approach to predict the behavior of cardiomyocytes
facing increased matrix rigidity. Here, we generated pure
induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and
cultured them on engineered polyacrylamide hydrogels
matching the elasticities of healthy as well as fibrotic
cardiac tissue. Only in cardiomyocytes cultured on matrices
with fibrotic-like elasticity, transcriptional profiling
revealed a substantial up-regulation of a whole panel of
cardiac fibrosis-associated transcripts, including collagen
I and III, decorin, lumican, and periostin. In addition,
matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors, known to be
essential in cardiac remodeling, were found to be elevated
as well as insulin-like growth factor 2. Control experiments
with primary cardiac fibroblasts were analyzed and did not
show comparable behavior. In conclusion, we do not only
present a snapshot on the transcriptomic fingerprint
alterations in cardiomyocytes under pathological conditions
but also provide a new reproducible approach to study the
effects of fibrotic environments to various cell types.},
