Proliferation at the Heart of Preadolescence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiomyocytes, the cells of the heart muscle, lose nearly all of their proliferative capacity after birth, limiting the heart's ability to regenerate. Naqvi et al. now identify a transient burst of cardiomyocyte proliferation during preadolescence, driven by a thyroid hormone surge, with therapeutic implications for congenital and acquired heart diseases.

No Evidence for Cardiomyocyte Number Expansion in Preadolescent Mice
The magnitude of cardiomyocyte generation in the adult heart has been heavily debated. A recent report suggests that during mouse preadolescence, cardiomyocyte proliferation leads to a 40% increase in the number of cardiomyocytes. Such an expansion would change our understanding of heart growth and have far-reaching implications for cardiac regeneration. Here, using design-based stereology, we ...
متن کاملA Proliferative Burst during Preadolescence Establishes the Final Cardiomyocyte Number
It is widely believed that perinatal cardiomyocyte terminal differentiation blocks cytokinesis, thereby causing binucleation and limiting regenerative repair after injury. This suggests that heart growth should occur entirely by cardiomyocyte hypertrophy during preadolescence when, in mice, cardiac mass increases many-fold over a few weeks. Here, we show that a thyroid hormone surge activates t...
متن کاملJuvenile administration of methylphenidate attenuates adult hippocampal neurogenesis.
BACKGROUND The neural consequences of early-life exposure to methylphenidate (MPH; Ritalin) are of great interest given the widespread, and sometimes inappropriate, use in children. Here we examine the impact of juvenile MPH exposure on adult hippocampal neurogenesis. METHODS Rats received MPH (2.0 mg/kg, intraperitoneal, twice daily) or saline (SAL) during preadolescence (postnatal days 20-3...
متن کاملCardiomyocytes Replicate and their Numbers Increase in Young Hearts
Inmice, the heart nearly quadruples in size from early preadolescence (postnatal day 10 [P10]) to puberty ( P35) (Naqvi et al., 2014). Because it is widely believed that mammalian cardiomyocytes (CMs) are incapable of replication after birth, it has been assumed that early postnatal heart growth is driven solely by CM hypertrophy. Our findings question this view and provide insights into how th...

Background & Aims: Chronic alcohol consumption is now recognized as a factor that enhances susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases through mechanisms that still are not completely cleared. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of ginger extract on 8-hydroxy-2' -deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) changes and as well as heart muscle cell proliferation induced by ethanol in the hea...
