Engraftment of hΔCD19-labeled RhiPSC-CMs into NSG mouse myocardial infarct area. (ac) Incorporation of hΔCD19-labeled RhiPSC-CMs in the central myocardial infarct area. (a) H&E staining of the myocardial infarct at two months after LAD ligation and RhiPSC-CM transplantation. (b) Masson’s trichrome staining to visualize the infarcted cardiac tissue (blue color indicates fibrotic tissue). (c) Immunofluorescence staining of CD19 positive cells located throughout infarct area, these cells were also positive for cTnI co-staining. Scale bars, 500 µm. (df) Distribution of hΔCD19-labeled RhiPSC-CMs in the peri-infarct area. (d) H&E staining of the infarct area of heart tissue at two months after LAD ligation. (e) Masson’s trichrome staining to visualize the infarct area. (f) Immunofluorescence staining revealed CD19 (red) positive cells were outside the infarct area but positive with cTnI co-staining. Scale bars, 400 µm.
