Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), a metabolic enzyme normally localized in the cytoplasm, has been reported to regulate cardiomyocyte proliferation via inducing metabolic reprogramming. Nuclear LDHA has been observed in multiple proliferative cells, whereas the role of LDHA nuclear translocation in cardiomyocyte proliferation remains unresolved. Here we found that the expression of nuclear LDHA was induced both in the infarct area of myocardial infarction (MI) in mice and hypoxic cardiomyocytes in vitro. Mechanically, mild hypoxia prompted metabolic reprogramming which motivated cardiomyocyte proliferation by alleviating reactive oxygen species (ROS), while severe hypoxia coincided with oxidative stress that induced cardiomyocyte cell cycle arrest. Interestingly, LDHA nuclear translocation in cardiomyocytes occurred in response to oxidative stress, and blocking of nuclear LDHA resulted in elevated ROS generation. Collectively, our findings uncover a non-canonical role of nuclear LDHA in maintaining redox balance and resisting cardiomyocyte cell cycle arrest.</p>","PeriodicalId":15197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease","volume":"12 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144707611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historically, these conditions have been attributed to high-penetrance rare variants in key structural genes, consistent with a classical Mendelian pattern of inheritance. However, emerging evidence suggests that this model does not fully capture the full spectrum and complexity of disease expression. Many patients do not harbor identifiable pathogenic variants, while others carrying well-known disease-causing variants remain unaffected. This highlights the role of incomplete penetrance, likely modulated by additional genetic modifiers. Recent advances in genomics have revealed a broader view of the genetic basis of cardiomyopathies, introducing new players such as common genetic variants identified as risk alleles, as well as intermediate-effect variants. This continuum of genetic risk, reflecting an overall genetic influence, interacts further with environmental and lifestyle factors, likely contributing together to the observed variability in clinical presentation. This model offers a more realistic framework for understanding genetic inheritance and helps provide a clearer picture of disease expression and penetrance. This review explores the evolving genetic architecture of cardiomyopathies, spanning from a monogenic foundation to intermediate-risk variants and complex polygenic contribution. Recognizing this continuum is essential for enhancing diagnostic accuracy, guiding family screening strategies, and enabling personalized patient management.</p>","PeriodicalId":15197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease","volume":"12 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144707601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
