Blockade of IL-6 signalling reduces the effects of myofibroblast-conditioned medium and noncontact coculture on hiPSC-CM electrical function. A Spontaneous beating frequency of hiPSC-CM in control (black), conditioned medium (red), noncontact (blue) and contact coculture (purple), in the presence (diagonal pattern) or absence (no pattern) of a neutralising IL-6 antibody. Values expressed as means ± SEM (n = 16–20 treated monolayers). B, C Summary of APD50 (B) and APD90 (C) for hiPSC-CM in control, conditioned medium, noncontact and contact coculture, in the presence (diagonal pattern) or absence (no pattern) of a neutralising IL-6 antibody, at 1 Hz pacing rate. Values expressed as means ± SEM (n = 7–8 treated monolayers). D Average pacing rate needed to induce loss of 1:1 action potential capture in hiPSC-CM cultures. Values expressed as means ± SEM (n = 7–8 treated monolayers). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 (two‐way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey’s test)
