Objective To investigate the feasibility of small molecule compound XAV939 to induce mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) to differentiate into cardiac myocytes. Methods We revived and cultured undifferentiated mESC growing confluently on trophoderm made of mouse embryonic inoblast cell. The mESCs were digested by trypsin to form embryoid bodies (EBs) by handing drop method. After plated, EBs were induced by XAV939 to differentiate into cardiac myocytes. We observed the cardiac myocytes with lightmicroscopy and identified it with immunofluorescence method. Result  The XAV939 can effectively induce mESC into cardiac myocytes with the mean efficiency rate of 71.85%±1.05%. The differentiated cardiac myocytes shrinked spanteously and rhythmicly. The cardiac troponin T as the special marker of cardiac myocyte was positive. Conclusion The small molecule compound XAV939 could effectively induce mES cells into cardiac myocytes.
