The H9C2 cell line and primary neonatal cardiomyocyte cells show similar hypertrophic responses in vitro

H9C2 cells showed almost identical hypertrophic responses to those observed in primary cardiomyocytes following stimulation with hypertrophic factors, validates the importance of H9C1 cells as a model for in vitro studies of cardiac hypertrophy and supports current work with human cardiomeocyte cell lines for prospective molecular studies in heart development and disease.
