Adipocytes normally accumulate in the epicardial and pericardial layers around the human heart, but their infiltration into the myocardium can be proarrhythmic. METHODS AND RESULTS: Human adipose derived stem/stromal cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) were differentiated, respectively into predominantly white fat-like adipocytes (hAdip) and ventricular cardiomyocytes (CMs). Adipocytes cultured in CM maintenance medium (CM medium) maintained their morphology, continued to express adipogenic markers, and retained clusters of intracellular lipid droplets.

We investigated if poly-lactic acid (PLA) nanopillar array can trigger the differentiation of human epicardial (ADSCs) (heADSCs) into cardiomyocyte-like cells and explored the effects of these cardiomyocyte-like cells on myocardial infarction (MI) in vivo. PLA nanopillar array (200 nm diameter) and plain PLA film (PLA planar) induced heADSCs were marked with carboxyfluorescein. After 7 days, the expressions of myocardiocyte-specific genes were significantly enhanced in cells seeded on PLA nanopillar array compared with that on PLA planar, especially CACNA1C, KCNH2, and MYL2 genes (p < 0.

The metabolism of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is closely related to coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CAHD), but the specific mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of EAT microenvironment on adipose metabolism from the viewpoint of EAT-derived exosomes and epicardial adipose stem cells (EASCs). EAT samples from CAHD patients and non-CAHD patients were collected to obtain exosomes via tissue culture.
