Abstract
The therapeutic efficacy of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in myocardial infarction (MI) is hindered by poor cell survival. This study explored the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulation, specifically YTHDC1, in improving BMSC transplantation for MI. By screening m6A-related regulators in hypoxia and serum deprivation (HSD)-induced BMSC apoptosis, YTHDC1 was found to be downregulated. Overexpression of Ythdc1 in BMSCs reduced apoptosis markers, reactive oxygen species (ROS) release, and improved cell survival under HSD conditions. Conversely, Ythdc1 knockdown enhanced apoptosis. In rat MI models, transplantation of Ythdc1-overexpressing BMSCs improved cardiac function and reduced myocardial fibrosis. Mechanistically, YTHDC1 interacts with nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) inhibitor-alpha mRNA, suggesting its involvement in BMSC survival pathways. This study identifies YTHDC1 as a potential target to enhance BMSC efficacy in MI therapy.
期刊介绍:
Cell Transplantation, The Regenerative Medicine Journal is an open access, peer reviewed journal that is published 12 times annually. Cell Transplantation is a multi-disciplinary forum for publication of articles on cell transplantation and its applications to human diseases. Articles focus on a myriad of topics including the physiological, medical, pre-clinical, tissue engineering, stem cell, and device-oriented aspects of the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, and endothelial systems, as well as genetically engineered cells. Cell Transplantation also reports on relevant technological advances, clinical studies, and regulatory considerations related to the implantation of cells into the body in order to provide complete coverage of the field.
