<h4>Background</h4>Cardiac stem cells (CSCs) exhibit age-dependent characteristics. Cited2 has been implicated in the regulation of heart development; however, there is little known about how Cited2 affects CSC aging.<h4>Results</h4>Cited2 mRNA and protein level was downregulated in aging heart tissue and CSCs. Old (O)-CSCs showed decreased differentiation and proliferation capacities as compared to Young (Y)-CSCs, the decrease in cell proliferation, increase in apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest ...[more]
