Abstract
Promoting endogenous cardiomyocyte proliferation is crucial for repairing infarcted hearts. Implantation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiovascular progenitor cells (hCVPCs) promotes healing of infarcted hearts. However, little is known regarding their impact on host cardiomyocyte proliferation. Here, we revealed that hCVPC implantation into mouse infarcted hearts induced dedifferentiation and cell cycle re-entry of host cardiomyocytes, which was further confirmed in vitro by hCVPC-conditioned medium. Mechanistically, the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway mediated hCVPC-induced cardiomyocyte cell cycle re-entry. The findings reveal the novel function of hCVPCs in triggering cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and cell cycle activation and highlight a strategy utilizing cells at early developmental stages to rejuvenate adult cardiomyocytes.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology publishes work advancing knowledge of the mechanisms responsible for both normal and diseased cardiovascular function. To this end papers are published in all relevant areas. These include (but are not limited to): structural biology; genetics; proteomics; morphology; stem cells; molecular biology; metabolism; biophysics; bioengineering; computational modeling and systems analysis; electrophysiology; pharmacology and physiology. Papers are encouraged with both basic and translational approaches. The journal is directed not only to basic scientists but also to clinical cardiologists who wish to follow the rapidly advancing frontiers of basic knowledge of the heart and circulation.
