Numerous endotherm species lose cardiac regenerative capacity shortly after birth, which is in contrast to many ectotherm species who regenerate throughout life. Whether the enhanced contractile function required for endothermy contributes to the cell-cycle exit remains to be explored. Herein, we use human cardiac organoids with advanced maturation combined with direct targeting of contraction using mavacamten and aficamten to enable exquisite control of active contraction over brief time windows. We show that transient inhibition of contraction re-activates the cell cycle. Multi-omics analyses demonstrated the cell cycle response to be mediated through a dedifferentiation-like process, which was swiftly reversed upon removal of the myosin inhibitors. Together these findings reveal that active contraction maintains differentiation including cell cycle arrest in cardiomyocytes.
