We discovered that innate immunity plays an important role in the reprogramming of fibroblasts into cardiomyocytes. In this report, we define the role of a novel retinoic acid-inducible gene 1 Yin Yang 1 (Rig1:YY1) pathway. We found that fibroblast to cardiomyocyte reprogramming efficacy was enhanced by specific Rig1 activators. To understand the mechanism of action, we performed various transcriptomic, nucleosome occupancy, and epigenomic approaches. Analysis of the datasets indicated that Rig1 ...[more]
