Structured PICO
P
Population
In silico populations of mathematical models describing cardiac myocytes from adult ventricles and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-CMs).
I
Intervention
Simulated selective and non-selective ion channel blocking drugs (e.g., block of IKr, ICaL) and altered extracellular ion concentrations.
C
Comparator
Direct measurements in alternative cell types or baseline unperturbed state.
O
Outcome
Action potential duration at 90% repolarization (APD90) and Calcium transient amplitude (CaTA).surrogate
Main Result
Effect estimate: R2 = 0.906 for APD90; R2 = 0.964 for CaTA
A cross-cell type mechanistic regression model can accurately predict human adult cardiac myocyte electrophysiological responses to drugs based on iPSC-CM behaviors, offering a valuable tool for preclinical drug toxicity screening.
Limitations
- Only varied model parameters controlling ionic current magnitudes, leaving the channel kinetics unaltered (simple pore block model).
- Experimental validity of these predictions remains to be tested in vitro or in vivo.
Cite This Study
Gong et al. (2018) studied Cardiac electrophysiology (in silico). Cross-cell type mechanistic modeling and statistical analysis vs. Direct translation of iPSC-CM responses was evaluated on Prediction accuracy of action potential duration at 90% repolarization (APD90) and calcium transient amplitude (CaTA) (R2 = 0.906 for APD90; R2 = 0.964 for CaTA). A population-based mechanistic modeling approach accurately predicted adult myocyte electrophysiological responses to drugs based on iPSC-CM behaviors, achieving R2 values of 0.906 for APD90 and 0.964 for CaTA.
