Different protocols for cardiac differentiation of iPSCs have been proposed either based on embroid body formation (3D) or, more recently, on monolayer culture (2D). We performed a direct comparison of the characteristics of the derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) on day 27 \u00b1 2 of differentiation between 3D and 2D differentiation protocols with two different Wnt-inhibitors were compared: IWR1 (inhibitor of Wnt response) or IWP2 (inhibitor of Wnt production). We firstly found that the level of Troponin T (TNNT2) expression measured by FACS was significantly higher for both 2D protocols as compared to the 3D protocol. In the three methods, iPSC-CM show sarcomeric structures. However, iPSC-CM generated in 2D protocols constantly displayed larger sarcomere lengths as compared to the 3D protocol. In addition, mRNA and protein analyses reveal higher cTNi to ssTNi ratios in the 2D protocol using IWP2 as compared to both other protocols, indicating a higher sarcomeric maturation. Differentiation of cardiac myocytes with 2D monolayer-based protocols and the use of IWP2 allows the production of higher yield of cardiac myocytes that have more suitable characteristics to study sarcomeric cardiomyopathies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms18061173","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,1]],"date-time":"2017-06-01T10:36:36Z","timestamp":1496313396000},"page":"1173","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Differential Sarcomere and Electrophysiological Maturation of Human iPSC-Derived Cardiac Myocytes in Monolayer vs. Aggregation-Based Differentiation Protocols"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Dorota","family":"Jeziorowska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sorbonne Universit\u00e9s, UPMC Univ Paris 06, AP-HP, INSERM, Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Hospital, F-75013 Paris, France"},{"name":"Institute of Cardiometabolism and Nutrition (ICAN), F-75013 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vincent","family":"Fontaine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sorbonne Universit\u00e9s, UPMC Univ Paris 06, AP-HP, INSERM, Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Hospital, F-75013 Paris, France"},{"name":"Institute of Cardiometabolism and Nutrition (ICAN), F-75013 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charl\u00e8ne","family":"Jouve","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sorbonne Universit\u00e9s, UPMC Univ Paris 06, AP-HP, INSERM, Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Hospital, F-75013 Paris, France"},{"name":"Institute of Cardiometabolism and Nutrition (ICAN), F-75013 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Villard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sorbonne Universit\u00e9s, UPMC Univ Paris 06, AP-HP, INSERM, Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Hospital, F-75013 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S\u00e9bastien","family":"Dussaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sorbonne Universit\u00e9s, UPMC Univ Paris 06, AP-HP, INSERM, Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Hospital, F-75013 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Akbar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle \u00e9pini\u00e8re, ICM, CNRS UMR 7225, Inserm U 1127, UPMC-P6 UMR S 1127, Plateforme d\u2019exploration cellulaire, CELIS-Culture Cellulaire, F-75013 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Val\u00e9rie","family":"Letang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanofi Recherche et D\u00e9veloppement, F-91380 Chilly-Mazarin, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pauline","family":"Cervello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanofi Recherche et D\u00e9veloppement, F-91380 Chilly-Mazarin, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Michiel","family":"Itier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanofi Recherche et D\u00e9veloppement, F-94403 Vitry, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie-Pierre","family":"Pruniaux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanofi Recherche et D\u00e9veloppement, F-91380 Chilly-Mazarin, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-S\u00e9bastien","family":"Hulot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sorbonne Universit\u00e9s, UPMC Univ Paris 06, AP-HP, INSERM, Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Hospital, F-75013 Paris, France"},{"name":"Institute of Cardiometabolism and Nutrition (ICAN), F-75013 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"220","DOI":"10.1242\/dmm.008409","article-title":"Model for long QT syndrome type 2 using human iPS cells demonstrates arrhythmogenic characteristics in cell culture","volume":"5","author":"Lahti","year":"2012","journal-title":"Dis.
