Key result
MicroRNAs play a crucial role in regulating the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocytes by targeting signaling pathways including STAT3, Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, and TBX5.
Why the study?
Cardiomyocyte proliferating capacity is limited, making mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into cardiomyocytes an alternative strategy for cardiovascular disease therapy.
This review highlights the crucial role of microRNAs in regulating the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocytes, offering potential insights for cardiovascular regenerative therapies.
Hypothesis-generating for microRNA modulation of stem cell cardiac repair; clinical translation remains unproven.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is defined as a class of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels. Cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells play important roles in cardiac regeneration and heart repair. However, the proliferating capacity of cardiomyocytes is limited. To overcome this issue, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as an alternative strategy for CVD therapy. MSCs can proliferate and differentiate (or trans-differentiate) into cardiomyocytes. Several in vitro and in vivo differentiation protocols have been used to obtain MSCs-derived cardiomyocytes. It was recently investigated that microRNAs (miRNAs) by targeting several signaling pathways, including STAT3, Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, and TBX5, play a crucial role in regulating cardiomyocytes' differentiation of MSCs. In this review, we focused on the role of miRNAs in the differentiation of MSCs into cardiomyocytes.
