Electrophysiological analysis of healthy and dystrophic 3D bioengineered skeletal muscle tissues

Abstract: Recently, methods for creating three-dimensional (3D) human skeletal muscle tissues from myogenic cell lines have been reported. Bioengineered muscle tissues are contractile and respond to electrical and chemical stimulation. In this study we provide an electrophysiological analysis of healthy and dystrophic 3D bioengineered skeletal muscle tissues. We focus on Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a fatal muscle disorder involving the skeletal muscle system. The dystrophin gene, which when mutated causes DMD, en… Show more

“…Here, we used cell lines derived from 6 different donors and from biopsies originating from three different muscle groups (Table 1). As recently reported, all of these cell lines are capable of forming functional biomimetic skeletal muscle tissues within 3D protein scaffolds by self-organizing around two vertical posts [42,17] . With these human immortalized myoblast cell lines from healthy and DMD backgrounds, and our previously developed glass bottom chamber for high resolution imaging [22] , we cultured bioengineered skeletal muscles within a 3D fibrin-Geltrex(tm) scaffold over two weeks (Figure 1 a-d).…”

“…For this reason, numerous in vitro strategies have emerged in recent years for cultivating self-organizing, human multinucleated myotubes within 3D extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds [31,2,1,22] . Based on this, the first 3D bioengineered human skeletal muscle disease models were reported only recently, and offer great opportunities to further fundamental research and drug development [32,44,42,17,55,51] . By contrast to 2D myotube culture, these approaches support studies of the force generating capacity of normal and DMD muscle tissue upon stimulating a contraction.…”
