Understanding Intracellular Signaling Advances Cardiac Reprogramming Technology Toward Clinical Applications.
The direct reprogramming of fibroblasts into functional cardiac myocytes is expected to bring new cell therapies for heart failure. Already, essential transcription factors for the reprogramming have been identified. However, several obstacles must be overcome before this technology benefits patients. In particular, there is a need to improve the efficiency of the reprogramming, especially with...
متن کاملDirect cardiac reprogramming: progress and challenges in basic biology and clinical applications.
The discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells changed the field of regenerative medicine and inspired the technological development of direct reprogramming or the process by which one cell type is directly converted into another without reverting a stem cell state by overexpressing lineage-specific factors. Indeed, direct reprogramming has proven sufficient in yielding a diverse range of cell...
متن کاملI-10: The Oocyte Express Way to Reprogramming Supports Double Nucleus Transplantation
Studies on cell fusion-mediated nuclear reprogramming have led to the breakthrough of the induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell technology. While this technology has neared stem cells to applications more than any other method, the mechanistic bases of reprogramming remain largely unsolved. In this context, comparative studies of oocyte and cell fusion-mediated reprogramming hold the greatest pro...
متن کاملTissue-engineered 3-dimensional (3D) microenvironment enhances the direct reprogramming of fibroblasts into cardiomyocytes by microRNAs
We have recently shown that a combination of microRNAs, miR combo, can directly reprogram cardiac fibroblasts into functional cardiomyocytes in vitro and in vivo. Reprogramming of cardiac fibroblasts by miR combo in vivo is associated with improved cardiac function following myocardial infarction. However, the efficiency of direct reprogramming in vitro is relatively modest and new strategies b...
متن کاملStoichiometry of transcription factors is critical for cardiac reprogramming.
D irect reprogramming of fibroblasts into cardiomyocytes holds great potential for cardiovascular disease research and treatment. This new technology may be used for patient-specific drug screening, cardiac disease modeling, and regen-erative purposes. We reported first that a combination of 3 cardiac-specific transcription factors, Gata4 (G), Mef2c (M), and Tbx5 (T), constituted the minimum re...
