PurposeThis study aims to investigate the induction effect of LncRNA-CIR6 on MSCs differentiation into Cardiogenic Cells in vitro and in vivo. MethodsIn addition to pretreatment with the Ro-3306 (CDK1 inhibitor), LncRNA-CIR6 was transfected into BMSCs and hUCMSCs using jetPRIME. LncRNA-CIR6 was transfected into C57BL/6 mice heart by 100 L of AAV9-cTnT-LncRNA-CIR6-ZsGreen i.v. After 3 weeks of transfection followed by AMI surgery, hUCMSCs (5x105/100 L) were injected by i.v 1 week later. Cardiac function was evaluated using VEVO 2100 and electric mapping 9 days after cell injection. IF, Evans blue-TTC, Masson staining, FACS, and WB were used to determine relevant indicators. ResultsLncRNA-CIR6 induced a significant percentage of differentiation in BMSCs (83.00{+/-}0.58)% and hUCMSCs (95.43{+/-}2.13)% into cardiogenic cells, as determined by the expression of cTnT. Compared with MI group, cardiac contraction and conduction function in MI heart treated by LncRNA-CIR6 or combined with MSCs injection groups were significantly increased as well as the area of MI and fibrosis were significantly lower. The transcriptional expression region of LncRNA-CIR6 was in Chr17 from 80209290 to 80209536. The functional region of LncRNA-CIR6 was located at nucleotides 0-50/190-255 in the sequence. CDK1 is a protein found to be related to the proliferation and differentiation of cardiomyocytes is which located in the functional region of LncRNA-CIR6 secondary structure (from 0 to 17). Ro-3306 impeded the differentiation of MSCs into cardiogenic cells, while MSCs transfected with LncRNA-CIR6 showed high expression of CDK1. LncRNA-CIR6 mediates repair of infarcted hearts by inducing MSCs differentiation into cardiogenic cells through CDK1. ConclusionsLncRNA-CIR6 mediates repair of infarcted hearts by inducing MSCs differentiation into cardiogenic cells through CDK1.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
