项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States each year for both women and men. Although significant advances have been made in conventional drug and device therapies in recent years, they have not been able to reverse the loss of functional myocardium. Regeneration of the heart may someday be possible with the ability to derive functional cardiomyocytes from human stem cells. However, before these cells can be used for cardiac repair, more must be known about their electrophysiology and their likelihood to seamlessly integrate with native cardiac tissue. In particular, it is of critical importance to establish the electrophysiological compatibility of these cells with host myocardium to minimize the risk of arrhythmia. Despite this critical need, the classification of the electrophysiological phenotypes has been largely subjective for all cell types that have been studied so far, relying mainly on parameters related to action potential shape. The overall goal of this project is to develop a new, analytical and automated method to classify newly differentiated cardiac cells, based on techniques developed for machine learning. The specific aims are first, to use optical mapping and microelectrode recordings to generate datasets of functional electrophysiological characteristics of human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hESC-CMs), and second, to use machine learning techniques to classify the phenotypes of the hESC-CMs, based on parametric descriptions. These techniques will involve linear and nonlinear dimensionality reduction algorithms, and clustering and classification algorithms. Cells at different stages of differentiation will be evaluated at different pacing and pharmacological conditions that will help to establish the functional properties of the cells. In summary, the proposed research will enable the classification of cardiomyocytes that are derived from human stem cells. The ability to classify and identify cardiomyocyte phenotypes will permit a quantitative assessment of the batch-to-batch variability in cell cultures, the effect of different differentiation procedures, and the evolution of phenotypes during cardiomyocyte differentiation and maturation. These are critically important issues for the future clinical application of these cells to regenerate cardiac tissue. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Stem cell therapy holds great potential for treating diseased and failing hearts, but still faces significant challenges. This project addresses the electrophysiological aspects these cells, and the goal is to develop methods that can classify and identify the variety of heart cells that are derived from different kinds of stem cells.

描述（由申请人提供）：心脏病是美国每年女性和男性的第一大死因。尽管近年来传统药物和设备治疗取得了重大进展，但仍无法逆转功能性心肌的丧失。有一天，通过从人类干细胞中提取功能性心肌细胞的能力，心脏的再生可能成为可能。然而，在这些细胞用于心脏修复之前，必须更多地了解它们的电生理学以及它们与天然心脏组织无缝整合的可能性。特别是，建立这些细胞与宿主心肌的电生理相容性以最大限度地减少心律失常的风险至关重要。尽管存在这一迫切需求，但对于迄今为止研究的所有细胞类型来说，电生理表型的分类在很大程度上是主观的，主要依赖于与动作电位形状相关的参数。该项目的总体目标是开发一种新的分析自动化方法，基于机器学习开发的技术对新分化的心脏细胞进行分类。具体目标是，首先，使用光学测绘和微电极记录生成人胚胎干细胞衍生心肌细胞（hESC-CM）功能性电生理特征的数据集，其次，使用机器学习技术对 hESC-CM 的表型进行分类。 CM，基于参数描述。这些技术将涉及线性和非线性降维算法以及聚类和分类算法。处于不同分化阶段的细胞将在不同的起搏和药理学条件下进行评估，这将有助于确定细胞的功能特性。总之，拟议的研究将使人类干细胞衍生的心肌细胞分类成为可能。分类和识别心肌细胞表型的能力将允许定量评估细胞培养物中批次间的变异性、不同分化程序的影响以及心肌细胞分化和成熟过程中表型的演变。对于这些细胞未来临床应用再生心脏组织来说，这些都是至关重要的问题。公众健康相关性：干细胞疗法在治疗患病和衰竭的心脏方面具有巨大潜力，但仍面临重大挑战。该项目解决了这些细胞的电生理学方面的问题，目标是开发可以分类和识别源自不同种类干细胞的各种心脏细胞的方法。
