Cytotoxic effects of selected SMs on undifferentiated murine iPSCs and purified murine and human iPSC-CMs. (a) Dose response curves for cytotoxicity of indicated SMs on miPSCs and miPSC-CMs after 48 h of treatment with various SM concentrations. Results are shown as relative values compared to 0.05% DMSO treated cells (mean ± SD). Data for miPSCs were pooled from two (SM1, SM4, SM5), three (SM2, SM8) or six (SM6) independent experiments with 4 replicates analyzed in each. Analyses with miPSC-CMs were performed in three independent experiments for each SM. Therapeutic index (TI) was calculated by dividing the IC50 of miPSC-CMs by the IC50 of miPSCs. (b) Dose response curves for cytotoxicity of indicated SMs on human iPSCs (NP0040 cell line) and human iPSC-CMs (day 46 of differentiation) after 48 h of treatment with various SM concentrations. Results are shown as relative values compared to 0.05% DMSO treated cells (mean ± SD). Data for hiPSCs-CMs were pooled from two independent experiments with 4 replicates analyzed in each. Therapeutic index (TI) was calculated by dividing the IC50 of hiPSC-CMs by the IC50 of hiPSCs. (c) Representative images of NP0040 hiPSCs (bright-field) and hiPSC-CMs (immunofluorescence) after 48 h treatment with controls and various concentrations of indicated SMs. At the end of the treatment, hiPSC-CMs were fixed with 3% PFA and stained with antibodies against sarcomeric α-actinin (red). Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (blue). Images shown are digitally magnified insets from the originals taken with the 20 × objective on Axiovert 200 M microscope. Scale bars: 50 μm.
