Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of compounds on contractility of cardiac cell sheet tissues with C‐ALT cultured under atmospheric condition. (a–e) The typical contraction waveform, S/L ratio (each sample data), and CA (contraction amplitude) value (each sample data) of cardiac cell sheet tissue, cultured under atmospheric condition using Medium 199 Hanks' salt medium, before and after 30 min exposure to 1000 nM propranolol (S/L ratio [pre]; mean ± S.D. = 0.80 ± 0.12, S/L ratio [propranolol]; 0.99 ± 0.01, CA [pre]; 1.38 ± 0.23, CA [propranolol]; 1.05 ± 0.13, n = 8), 300 nM verapamil (S/L ratio [pre]; mean ± S.D. = 0.71 ± 0.16, S/L ratio [verapamil]; 0.94 ± 0.02, CA [pre]; 1.41 ± 0.24, CA [verapamil]; 0.49 ± 0.24, n = 6), 1000 nM thapsigargin (S/L ratio [pre]; mean ± S.D. = 0.78 ± 0.15, S/L ratio [thapsigargin]; 0.99 ± 0.01, CA [pre]; 1.25 ± 0.18, CA [thapsigargin]; 0.97 ± 0.19, n = 6), 30 nM ryanodine (S/L ratio [pre]; mean ± S.D. = 0.64 ± 0.11, S/L ratio [ryanodine]; 1.01 ± 0.02, CA [pre]; 1.30 ± 0.20, CA [ryanodine]; 0.55 ± 0.33, n = 6), and 300 nM blebbistatin (S/L ratio [pre]; mean ± S.D. = 0.65 ± 0.20, S/L ratio [blebbistatin]; 0.59 ± 0.20, CA [pre]; 1.42 ± 0.23, CA [blebbistatin]; 1.04 ± 0.16, n = 7), respectively. “Baseline” indicates no exposure to any compounds. “Pre” indicates that C‐ALT is induced by exposure to 1000 nM isoproterenol. CA was normalized to baseline.
Article Snippet: Isoproterenol (I0260; Tokyo Chemical Industry, Tokyo, Japan), propranolol (163‐24501; Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Corporation), verapamil (222‐00781; Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Corporation), ryanodine (ab120083; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), thapsigargin (10522; Cayman Chemical, MI, USA), omecamtiv mecarbil (CS‐0460; Chemscene LCC, NJ, USA), ivabradine (098–06921; Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Corporation), and blebbistatin (ax494682; Axol Bioscience) were dissolved in DMSO (031‐24051; Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Corporation) at concentrations 1000 times higher than those of the exposure test; the compound solutions were added to the medium in the tissue bath and diluted appropriately.
