Circulating cells contribute to cardiomyocyte regeneration after injury
Abstract
Rationale: The contribution of bone marrow-borne hematopoietic cells to the ischemic myocardium has been documented. However, a pivotal study reported no evidence of myocardial regeneration from hematopoietic-derived cells. The study did not take into account the possible effect of early injury-induced signaling as the test mice were parabiotically paired to partners immediately after surgery-induced myocardial injury when cross-circulation has not yet developed.
Objective: To re-evaluate the role of circulating cells in the injured myocardium.
Methods and results: By combining pulse-chase labeling and parabiosis model, we show that circulating cells derived from the parabiont expressed cardiac-specific markers in the injured myocardium. Genetic fate mapping also revealed that circulating hematopoietic cells acquired cardiac cell fate by means of cell fusion and transdifferentiation.
Conclusions: These results suggest that circulating cells participate in cardiomyocyte regeneration in a mouse model of parabiosis when the circulatory system is fully developed before surgery-induced heart injury.
Keywords: blood circulation; cell fusion; cell transdifferentiation; parabiosis; regeneration; stem cells.
