Abstract
Introduction:Cardiac fibroblasts deposit and turnover the extracellular matrix in the heart, as well as secrete soluble factors that play critical roles in development, homeostasis, and disease. Coculture of CFs and human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) enhances CM mechanical output, yet the mechanism remains unclear. Methods:Here, we use an in vitro engineered platform to compare the effects on CM mechanical function of direct CM-CF Coculture and soluble signaling alone through CF Conditioned Medium to a CM Only monoculture. Mechanical analysis is performed using digital image correlation and custom software to quantify the coordination and organization of CM contractile behavior. Results:CM-CF Coculture induces larger CM contractile strains, and an increased rate of spontaneous contraction compared to CM Only. Additionally, CM-CF Cocultures have increased contractile anisotropy and myofibril alignment and faster kinetics. The paracrine effects of fibroblast conditioned medium (FCM) are sufficient to induce larger contractile strains and faster contraction kinetics with these effects remaining after the removal of FCM. However, FCM does not influence CM spontaneous rate, contractile alignment, anisotropy, or relaxation kinetics compared to CM Only control. Discussion:These data suggest that hiPSC-CFs exert dynamic and multifactorial effects on the mechanical function of hiPSC-CMs and highlight the importance of CFs in both the native heart and in vitro cardiac models. Further, this work demonstrates the applicability of the coculture-conditioned medium-monoculture paradigm to decouple the effects of paracrine factor and cell-cell signaling on hiPSC-CM mechanical function and maturation.

  • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
  • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
  • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
  • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
  • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
