RESUMO
Integration of multiple data sources presents a challenge for accurate prediction of molecular patho-phenotypic features in automated analysis of data from human model systems. Here, we applied a machine learning-based data integration to distinguish patho-phenotypic features at the subcellular level for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We employed a human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (iPSC-CM) model of a DCM mutation in the sarcomere protein troponin T (TnT), TnT-R141W, compared to isogenic healthy (WT) control iPSC-CMs. We established a multimodal data fusion (MDF)-based analysis to integrate source datasets for Ca2+ transients, force measurements, and contractility recordings. Data were acquired for three additional layer types, single cells, cell monolayers, and 3D spheroid iPSC-CM models. For data analysis, numerical conversion as well as fusion of data from Ca2+ transients, force measurements, and contractility recordings, a non-negative blind deconvolution (NNBD)-based method was applied. Using an XGBoost algorithm, we found a high prediction accuracy for fused single cell, monolayer, and 3D spheroid iPSC-CM models (≥92 ± 0.08â¯%), as well as for fused Ca2+ transient, beating force, and contractility models (>96 ± 0.04â¯%). Integrating MDF and XGBoost provides a highly effective analysis tool for prediction of patho-phenotypic features in complex human disease models such as DCM iPSC-CMs.

We developed an integrated platform for analysis of parameterized data from human disease models. We report a non-negative blind deconvolution (NNBD) approach to quantify calcium (Ca2+ ) handling, beating force and contractility in human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) at the single-cell level. We employed CRISPR/Cas gene editing to introduce a dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)-causing mutation in troponin T (TnT), TnT-R141W, into wild-type control iPSCs (MUT). The NNDB-based method enabled data parametrization, fitting and analysis in wild-type controls versus isogenic MUT iPSC-CMs. Of note, Cas9-edited TnT-R141W iPSC-CMs revealed significantly reduced beating force and prolonged contractile event duration. The NNBD-based platform provides an alternative framework for improved quantitation of molecular disease phenotypes and may contribute to the development of novel diagnostic tools.
