Defining mechanisms of cardiomyocyte proliferation should guide the understanding endogenous cardiac regeneration and could lead to novel treatments for diseases such as myocardial infarction. In neonatal heart, energy metabolic reprogramming (phenotypic alteration glucose, fatty acid, amino acid metabolism) parallels cell cycle arrest cardiomyocytes. The occurring shortly after birth is associated with alterations in blood oxygen levels, substrate availability, hemodynamic stress, hormone release. adult infarction causes but these changes cannot stimulate sufficient replace those lost by ischemic injury. Some putative pro-proliferative interventions can induce reprogramming. Recent data show that altering enzymes PKM2 [pyruvate kinase 2], LDHA [lactate dehydrogenase A], PDK4 4], SDH [succinate dehydrogenase], CPT1b [carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1b], or HMGCS2 [3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2] partially reverse promotes proliferation.

In recent years, stem cells and their secretomes, notably exosomes, have received considerable attention in biomedical applications. Exosomes are cellular secretomes used for intercellular communication. They perform the function of messengers by facilitating transport proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, therapeutic substances. Their biocompatibility, minimal immunogenicity, targetability, stability, engineerable characteristics additionally led to application as drug delivery vehicles. The efficacy exosomes can be improved through surface modification employing functional molecules, including aptamers, antibodies, peptides. Given potential targeted vehicles enhance efficiency treatment while minimizing adverse effects, exhibit promise. Stem considered advantageous sources due distinctive characteristics, regenerative self-renewal capabilities, which make them well-suited transplantation into injured tissues, hence promoting tissue regeneration. However, there notable obstacles that need addressed, immune rejection ethical problems. produced from been thoroughly studied a cell-free strategy avoids many difficulties involved with cell-based therapy regeneration cancer treatment.

Promoting endogenous cardiomyocyte proliferation is a promising strategy for cardiac repair. Identifying key factors that regulate can advance the development of novel therapies heart regeneration. Here, we identify Foxk1 and Foxk2 as regulators proliferation, whose expression declines during postnatal development. Cardiomyocyte-specific knockout or impairs neonatal regeneration after myocardial infarction (MI) injury. AAV9-mediated overexpression extends proliferative window enhances repair in adult mice MI. Mechanistically, drive cell cycle progression by directly activating CCNB1 CDK1 expression, forming CCNB1/CDK1 complex facilitates G2/M transition. Moreover, promote upregulating HIF1α which glycolysis pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), further favors proliferation.

Adult zebrafish robustly regenerate injured hearts through a complex orchestration of molecular and cellular activities. However, this remarkable process, which is largely non-existent in humans, remains incompletely understood. Here, we utilize integrated spatial transcriptomics (Stereo-seq) single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) to generate spatially-resolved atlas regenerating heart across eight stages. We characterize the cascade cardiomyocyte cell states responsible for producing regenerated myocardium explore potential role tpm4a re-differentiation.

The limited capacity of adult mammalian cardiomyocytes to undergo cell division and proliferation is one the key factors contributing heart failure. In newborn mice, cardiac occurs during a brief window, but this proliferative diminishes by 7 days after birth. Current studies on regeneration focused elucidating changes in regulatory within before aiming determine whether potential association between these cycle arrest cardiomyocytes. Facilitating re-entry into or reversing their exit from it represents critical strategy for regeneration. This paper provides an overview role regeneration, briefly describes cardiomyocyte systematically summarizes regulation cardiomyocytes, metabolic mechanisms underlying arrest.

Injured human hearts are fibrotic, whereas zebrafish functionally regenerate following myocardial injury. The unique regeneration niche microenvironment has been extensively studied in hearts. However whether this can be extrapolated to humans remains unclear owing significant species differences.
