| Popis: | We report here a transgenic murine induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line expressing puromycin N-acetyltransferase (PAC) and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) under the control of α-myosin heavy chain promoter. This transgenic cell line reproducibly differentiates into EGFP-expressing cardiomyocytes (CMs) which can be generated at high purity with puromycin treatment and exhibit molecular and functional properties of immature heart muscle cells. This genetically modified iPSC line can be used for assessment of the utility of CMs for myocardial repair, pharmacological and toxicological applications and development of improved cardiac differentiation protocols. |
