A new deep learning framework uses human stem cells to screen 1,029 chemicals for heart toxicity. This method identifies potential risks from environmental chemicals and drugs, revealing significant individual variability in cardiotoxicity.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Toxicology
  • Stem Cell Biology

Background:

  • Cardiotoxicity is a significant challenge in drug development and a concern for environmental chemical exposure.
  • Current methods for assessing chemical cardiotoxicity are limited, especially for the vast number of uncharacterized environmental compounds.
  • Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-based assays offer a promising human-relevant model for toxicity screening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an unsupervised deep learning framework for high-throughput cardiotoxicity screening.
  • To assess the cardiotoxicity of a diverse chemical library using hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) across multiple donors.
  • To evaluate the potential for population-level cardiotoxicity risk prediction by analyzing inter-individual variability.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized high-throughput calcium transient recordings from hiPSC-CMs.
  • Developed an unsupervised deep learning model (autoencoder) trained on baseline signals to quantify chemical-induced functional changes via reconstruction error.
  • Tested a library of 1,029 compounds across five donors in a concentration-response manner.

Main Results:

  • The framework successfully quantified chemical-induced perturbations without requiring labeled data.
  • Significant inter-individual variability in cardiotoxicity was observed across donors.
  • Microbicides, dyes, and pesticides were identified as chemicals of potential concern due to high toxicity scores and low variability.

Conclusions:

  • The developed deep learning framework provides a scalable, human-relevant, and genetically diverse platform for cardiotoxicity surveillance.
  • This approach has direct implications for improving drug and environmental chemical safety evaluation and prioritization.
  • The findings highlight the importance of considering inter-individual variability in population-level risk assessments for cardiotoxicity.
