Abstract
The truncating mutations of LMNA are the major causes of cardiomyopathy. Here we studied 3 mouse models that carry germline, cardiomyocyte-specific, or genetic mosaic Lmna truncating mutations. Whereas the germline mutant manifested cardiac maturation defects, cardiomyocyte-specific mutation triggered pathological hypertrophy. In genetic mosaic analysis, no morphological defects were observed. Three adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors were applied to addback lamin-A in a ubiquitous, cardiomyocyte-specific, or cardiomyocyte-excluded manner. Strikingly, only ubiquitous and cardiomyocyte-excluded AAV vectors mitigated the cardiac defects. Therefore, Lmna regulates cardiac morphology and function via a non-cell-autonomous mechanism. Noncardiomyocytes are key targets in AAV lamin-A therapy for Lmna-associated cardiac defects.
期刊介绍:
JACC: Basic to Translational Science is an open access journal that is part of the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It focuses on advancing the field of Translational Cardiovascular Medicine and aims to accelerate the translation of new scientific discoveries into therapies that improve outcomes for patients with or at risk for Cardiovascular Disease. The journal covers thematic areas such as pre-clinical research, clinical trials, personalized medicine, novel drugs, devices, and biologics, proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics, as well as early phase clinical trial methodology.
