Transcriptional profile of PDGFRa+ Sca-1+ and Sca-1- cells at steady state and at 7, 14 and 28 days post LAD ligation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The cardiac stroma contains multipotent mesenchymal progenitors. However, lineage relationships within cardiac stromal cells are poorly defined. Here, we identify heart-resident PDGFRa+ SCA-1+ cells as cardiac Fibro/Adipogenic Progenitors (cFAPs) and show that they respond to ischemic damage by generating SCA-1- fibrogenic cells. Pharmacological blockade of this differentiation step with an anti-fibrotic tyrosine kinase inhibitor decreases post-myocardial infarction (MI) remodeling and leads to improvement in heart function.
