This is a device that facilitates the analysis of the toxicity and efficacy of drugs on the contractile force of cardiac muscle cells.
This is a device that measures the contraction force of string-like cardiac tissue composed of cardiomyocytes in real-time. It allows for easy analysis of the toxicity and efficacy of drugs on the contraction force of cardiomyocytes. The production of string-like cardiac tissue is easy in a dedicated bioreactor. Research on both acute and chronic phases is also possible.

Analysis of the toxicity and efficacy of drugs on the contractile force of cardiac muscle cells Achievement 1 An analysis of the effects of the antimalarial drugs Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin (AZM) on cardiac muscle cells revealed that AZM exhibited a dose-dependent negative inotropic effect, which was exacerbated by HCQ. J Mol Cell Cardiol. 2021 Apr;153:106-110. doi: 10.1016/j.yjmcc.2020.12.014. Achievement 2 Using human pluripotent stem cell-derived ventricular cardiomyocytes with a Frataxin (FXN) gene knockout as a model for Friedreich's ataxia, we created string-like cardiac tissue and analyzed its contractile force, finding a 70-80% reduction compared to healthy controls. Additionally, it was confirmed that recovery of FXN protein levels through lentiviral introduction restored the contractile force deficiency in FXN-deficient hvCTS. Stem Cell Res Ther. 2019 Jul 8;10(1):203. doi: 10.1186/s13287-019-1305-y.
