Abstract
Background
TBX3 plays a critical role in the formation of the sinoatrial node (SAN) during embryonic heart development. However, the contribution of TBX3 in driving the differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC)into pacemaker cells remains to be explored.
Results
Using the pan-cardiomyocyte differentiation protocol of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC),TBX3 gene was introduced into the differentiating hiPSC on day 5 post-differentiation, and the differentiation of pacemaker-like cardiomyocytes was evaluated on day 21. The results showed that TBX3 significantly induced biased differentiation of hiPSC into pacemaker-like cells as judged by significantly increased expression of SAN-specific marker gene, SHOX2, and slightly decreased expression of SAN-detrimental transcription factor, NKX2-5.
Conclusion
Our results suggest that TBX3 plays an important role in driving the differentiation of hiPSC into pacemaker-like cells, and manipulation of TBX3 expression during pan-cardiomyocyte differentiation may lead to the development of therapeutic pacemaker cells.
期刊介绍:
Gene Expression Patterns is devoted to the rapid publication of high quality studies of gene expression in development. Studies using cell culture are also suitable if clearly relevant to development, e.g., analysis of key regulatory genes or of gene sets in the maintenance or differentiation of stem cells. Key areas of interest include:
-In-situ studies such as expression patterns of important or interesting genes at all levels, including transcription and protein expression
-Temporal studies of large gene sets during development
-Transgenic studies to study cell lineage in tissue formation
