Figure 2.

Effect of cMyBP-C ablation on strain and Ca 2+ -handling properties in hiPSC-CM plated on micropatterns. (A–C) Images of cMyBP-C+/+ (A), cMyBP-C+/− (B), and cMyBP-C−/− (C) hiPSC-ECT immune-stained for α-actinin (green fluorescence) and β-catenin (white fluorescence). (D–I) Box and whisker plots of maximum strain produced (D); cytoplasmic Ca2+-transient amplitude as estimated by the ∆F340/F380 ratio (Ca2+TR; E); time to Ca2+-transient peak (Ca2+T100; F); time from Ca2+-transient peak to 50% decay (Ca2+DT50; G); cytoplasmic Ca2+-transient amplitude following caffeine administration as estimated by the ∆F340/F380 ratio (CaffTR; H); and fractional SR Ca2+ release as estimated by the Ca2+TR/CaffTR ratio (H). n ≥ 21 biological replicates; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 as calculated by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test; see Table S4 for specific P values.
