Three-dimensional multi-cellular systems containing iCell Cardiomyocytes or iCell Cardiomyocytes2, iCell Endothelial Cells and primary cardiac fibroblasts have the potential for greater physiological relevance, predictive power, and mechanistic insight than cardiomyocytes alone. For information on 3D systems, see the Application Protocol: Culturing and Assaying Calcium Transients of 3D Cardiac Tri-Culture Microtissues
Figure 1: Structure of 3D Cardiac Tri-culture Microtissues Over Time.
Microtissues were formed containing 5,000 or 10,000 total cells in S-bio 96-well plates. Compact, contracting microtissues were obtained by Day 4. (A) Panel of phase contrast 10X images of 5,000 cell tri-culture spheroids over time using the Incucyte S3. (B) Quantification of 5,000 cell tri-culture microtissue diameter. Each dot represents a microtissue. Mean and SEM are indicated. (C) Comparison of Day 14 microtissue diameter of 5,000 cell tri-culture microtissues with 10,000 cell tri-culture microtissues. Each dot represents a microtissue. Mean and SEM are indicated. (D) H&E staining of Day 14, 3D cardiac tri-culture microtissue formed with 10,000 total cells. Staining shows the absence of a necrotic core.
Figure 2: 3D Cardiac Tri-culture Microtissues Response to Beta Adrenergic Agonist Isoproterenol
(A) Chronotropic response: Control iCell Cardiomyocytes, 11713 only microtissues (CM) and tri-culture microtissues exhibit an increase in beat rate with increasing concentrations of isoproterenol. (B) Inotropic response: Control iCell Cardiomyocytes, 11713 only microtissues (CM) do not increase amplitude with increasing concentrations of isoproterenol. Tri-culture microtissues demonstrate a twofold increase in beat amplitude with increasing concentrations of isoproterenol.
3D cardiac tri-culture microtissues containing iCell Cardiomyocytes or iCell Cardiomyocytes2, iCell Endothelial Cells and cardiac fibroblasts demonstrated a positive response to the inotropic compound isoproterenol, which is characteristic of mature cardiomyocytes.

Three-dimensional multi-cellular systems containing iCell Cardiomyocytes or iCell Cardiomyocytes2, iCell Endothelial Cells and cardiac fibroblasts demonstrate enhanced amplitude in calcium transient assays. For information on 3D systems, see the Application Protocol: Culturing and Assaying Calcium Transients of 3D Cardiac Tri-Culture Microtissues
Figure 3: Baseline Calcium Transients in Cardiomyocyte and Tri-culture Microtissues at Day 14
Calcium transients were measured using EarlyTox calcium dye. (A) Representative calcium traces for 5,000 and 10,000 total cell 3D Tri-culture cardiac microtissues. (B) Beat rate is not different between 5,000 or 10,000 cell triculture microtissues and control cardiomyocyte only microtissues. (C) Representative calcium traces for 5,000 cell tri-culture and 5,000 cell cardiomyocytes only microtissues (CM only). (D) Amplitude is significantly higher in triculture microtissue compared to cardiomyocyte only microtissues (CM only) at 5,000 cells, but similar at 10,000 cells
Figure 4: iCell Cardiomyocytes2 Capture Phenotypic Responses across Different Classes of Cardioactive Compounds
Panels A and B show the expected increase in the field potential duration blocking IKr with E-4031. Panels C and D show the expected decrease in the field potential duration blocking the L-type calcium channels with NI. iCell Cardiomyocytes2 were exposed to the indicated compounds at the concentrations listed and the effects quantified ± SEM.
