METHODS FOR PRODUCTION OF ATRIAL PROGENITORS AND THEIR DIFFERENTIATION INTO SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS AND CARDIOMYOCYTES |
摘要 |
<p>The present invention generally relates to methods to identify and isolate atrial progenitors, and in some embodiments to the atrial progenitors are positive for both Islet 1 (Isl1) and sarcolipin (SLN). One aspect of the present invention relates to methods to differentiate progenitors into Isl1+/SLN+ atrial progenitors. Another aspect of the invention relates to methods to differentiate Isl1+/SLN+ atrial progenitors to smooth muscle and cardiomyocyte phenotypes. A further aspect of the invention relates to reprogramming postnatal and mature atrial myocytes to atrial progenitors positive for Isl1+/SLN+, and the subsequent differentiation of Isl1+/SLN+ atrial progenitors to smooth muscle and cardiomyocyte phenotypes. Another aspect of the invention relates to a composition comprising an isolated population of Islet1+, SLN+ atrial progenitor cells, and uses thereof.</p> |
