Adult c-kitpos Cardiac Stem Cells Are Necessary and Sufficient for Functional Cardiac Regeneration and Repair

Reads0

TLDR
It is shown that c-kit(pos) eCSCs are necessary and sufficient for the regeneration and repair of myocardial damage and selective suicide of these exogenous CSCs and their progeny abolishes regeneration, severely impairing ventricular performance.

c-kit + cells minimally contribute cardiomyocytes to the heart

TL;DR: Endogenous c-kit+ cells did produce new cardiomyocytes within the heart, although at a percentage of approximately 0.03 or less, and if a preponderance towards cellular fusion is considered, the percentage falls to belowapproximately 0.008.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resident c-kit(+) cells in the heart are not cardiac stem cells.

TL;DR: It is strongly suggested that c-kit+ cells in the murine heart are endothelial cells and not CSCs, which predominantly labels a cardiac endothelial cell population in developing and adult hearts.

Therapeutic approaches for cardiac regeneration and repair

TL;DR: Advances in therapeutic approaches for cardiac repair and regeneration are discussed, including cell-based therapies as well as the use of secretory factors, such as microRNAs and exosomes, direct reprogramming strategies, and gene editing to control cardiac remodelling and redirect the adult heart to a regenerative state, and the future prospects of preclinical and clinical trials of heart regeneration.

Adult Cardiac Stem Cells Are Multipotent and Support Myocardial Regeneration

TL;DR: The existence of Lin(-) c-kit(POS) cells with the properties of cardiac stem cells, which are self-renewing, clonogenic, and multipotent, giving rise to myocytes, smooth muscle, and endothelial cells are reported.
