Total RNA profiles in response to four tyrosine kinase inhibitors in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes
To define molecular markers of tyrosine kinase inhibitor-induced cardiotoxicity, we measured transcriptome changes in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) treated with one of four tyrosine kinase inhibitors (Erlotinib, Lapatinib, Sorafenib, or Sunitinib) displaying a range of mild to severe cardiotoxicity or a vehicle-only control (DMSO). Gene expression changes were assessed at the cell population level using total RNA-seq, which measured levels of both mRNAs and non-coding RNAs. hiPSC-CMs used in this study were the Cor.4U cells purchased from Ncardia. Overall design: hiPSC-CMs were treated with each TKI (Erlotinib, Lapatinib, Sorafenib or Sunitinib) at three doses (1, 3 and 10 µM) for 24 hours and the intermediate dose (3 µM) for an additional three time points (6h, 72h and 168h). hiPSC-CMs were also treated with the DMSO vehicle-only control at four time points (6h, 24h, 72h and 168h). Each treatment condition had three biological replicates, collected from three independent experiments using three different lots of hiPSC-CMs. Total RNA was collected from all these samples.
