OSKM-mediated reversible reprogramming of cardiomyocytes regenerates injured myocardium
Tóm tắt
Cellular reprogramming has rapidly become a promising methodology to generate new cardiomyocytes from non-cardiomyocyte cell types. Using the transient expression of OSKM factors, Chen et al. demonstrate a unique reprogramming strategy involving the modulation of the resident adult cardiomyocyte identity to an immature proliferative state (Science 373:1537–40, 2021). This OSKM-mediated reversion results in the adoption by adult murine cardiomyocytes of a transcriptional profile similar to cardiomyocytes found in developing hearts, as well as increased proliferative capacity of these reprogrammed cardiomyocytes compared to mature cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, this novel approach enhances the regeneration of adult murine hearts post-myocardial injury. Although concerns and questions remain, the encouraging results of this study advance the field of cardiac regeneration by providing a new technique to generate cardiomyocytes as well as insights into cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and its relation to proliferation.
