Transcriptomic analysis assessing the effect of cMyBP-C ablation in hiPSC-ECT. (A–D) Transcriptomic analysis of all genes expressed in hiPSC-ECTs (A), sarcomeric protein encoding and hypertrophic marker genes (B), genes involved in myocardial Ca2+ handling and signaling (C), and genes involved in glucose metabolism and fatty acid oxidation (D). In A–D, the leftmost panels show log-fold change vs. −log FDR volcano plots of cMyBP-C+/+ vs. cMyBP-C+/−; the center panels show log-fold change vs. −log FDR volcano plots of cMyBP-C+/+ vs. cMyBP-C−/−. In A, the rightmost plot shows a Venn diagram comparing gene expression in cMyBP-C+/+, cMyBP-C+/−, and cMyBP-C−/− hiPSC-ECTs, while in B–D they show heat maps comparing gene expression in cMyBP-C+/+, cMyBP-C+/−, and cMyBP-C−/− hiPSC-ECTs of genes in the respective GO pathways. In volcano plots, differentially expressed genes (FDR < 0.05) are plotted as red dots. In heat maps, red indicates upregulated genes, while blue indicates genes that are downregulated. Z-scores > 15 are highlighted in bright red.
