Ion Channel Expression and Characterization in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes

Figure 5

Influences of ion channels on APs in hiPSC-CMs. APs were recorded at 1 Hz. Specific ion channel blockers or activators were applied to assess the contribution of an ion channel to AP. Percentage changes induced by drugs were calculated as , where Vcontrol is the value before the application of a drug and Vdrug is the value in the presence of a drug. (a) Percent (%) changes of resting potential (RP). (b) % changes of AP amplitude (APA). (c) % changes of maximal depolarization speed (Vmax). (d) % changes of APD at 50% repolarization (APD50). (e) % changes of APD at 90% repolarization (APD90). Values given are mean ± SEM. The number of cells (numbers in parentheses) is indicated in (b). versus control.
