Chemical Enhancement of In Vitro and In Vivo Direct Cardiac Reprogramming
14 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Reprogramming of cardiac fibroblasts into induced cardiomyocyte-like cells in situ represents a promising strategy for cardiac regeneration. A combination of 3 cardiac transcription factors, Gata4, Mef2c, and Tbx5 (GMT), can convert fibroblasts into induced cardiomyocyte-like cells, albeit with low efficiency in vitro. METHODS: We screened 5500 compounds in primary cardiac fibroblasts to identify the...
