Abstract: The invention provides a method of promoting reprogramming of a cardiac fibroblast into a cardiomyocyte by contacting the cardiac fibroblast with an isolated polynucleotide molecule comprising at least two functional miRNA sequences using a multicistronic expression system for reprogramming of fibroblasts into functional mature cardiomyocytes.
Abstract: A method for promoting conversion of cells into cardiomyocytic tissue is carried out by contacting fibrotic tissue (e.g., scar tissue) with a microRNA oligonucleotide or combination of microRNA oligonucleotides. The methods lead to direct reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocytes or cardiomyoblasts.
