International audience. Background: While mutations in the cardiac type 2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) have been linked to exercise-induced or catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), its association with polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMVT) occurring at rest is unclear. We aimed at constructing a patient-specific human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) model of PMVT occurring at rest linked to a single point mutation in RyR2.Methods: Blood samples were obtained from a patient with PMVT at rest due to a heterozygous RyR2-H29D mutation. Patient-specific hiPSCs were generated from the blood samples, and the hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) were generated via directed differentiation. Using CRIPSR/Cas9 technology, isogenic controls were generated by correcting the RyR2-H29D mutation. Using patch-clamp, fluorescent confocal microscopy and video-image-based analysis, the molecular and functional properties of RyR2-H29D hiPSCsingle bondCMs and control hiPSCsingle bondCMs were compared.Findings: RyR2-H29D hiPSCsingle bondCMs exhibit intracellular sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ leak through RyR2 under physiological pacing. RyR2-H29D enhances the contribution of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors to excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) that exacerbates abnormal Ca2+ release in RyR2-H29D hiPSCsingle bondCMs. RyR2-H29D hiPSCsingle bondCMs exhibit shorter action potentials, delayed afterdepolarizations, arrhythmias and aberrant contractile properties compared to isogenic controls. The RyR2-H29D mutation causes post-translational remodeling that is fully reversed with isogenic controls.Interpretation: To conclude, in a model based on a RyR2 point mutation that is associated with short-coupled PMVT at rest, RyR2-H29D hiPSCsingle bondCMs exhibited aberrant intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis, shortened action potentials, arrhythmias and abnormal contractile properties.
