The active form of Mef2c promotes maturation of induced cardiomyocytes with p300 in direct cardiac reprogramming
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Direct cardiac reprogramming converts fibroblasts into induced cardiomyocytes (iCMs) with the minimal combination of transcription factors, Gata4 (G), Mef2c (M), and Tbx5 (T). However, the induction of functional mature iCMs is inefficient and the mechanisms remain elusive. Mef2c is a central transcription factor in direct cardiac reprogramming. We investigated the effect of Mef2c isoforms(M1, M2, M6) and transcriptional activity (M2TAD) on cardiac reprogramming on cardiac reprogramming. Then, we found that the active form of Mef2c evoked epigenetic remodeling cooperating with p300 and promoted the maturation of iCMs.
