Direct cardiac reprogramming of fibroblasts into induced cardiomyocytes (iCMs) can be achieved by ectopic expression of cardiac transcription factors (TFs) via viral vectors. However, risks like genomic mutations, viral toxicity, and immune response limited its clinical application. Transactivation of endogenous TFs emerges as an alternative approach that may partially mitigate some of the risks.

Background: Chronic arterial hypertension restructures the vascular architecture of the brain, leading to a series of pathological responses that culminate in cerebral small-vessel disease. Pericytes respond dynamically to vascular challenges; however, how they manifest under the continuous strain of hypertension has not been elucidated.

Methods And Results: In this study, we characterized pericyte behavior alongside hypertensive states in the spontaneously hypertensive stroke-prone rat model, focusing on their phenotypic and metabolic transformation.

To investigate the promoting effect of extracellular vesicles derived from myocardial cells (CM-EVs) on the reprogramming of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) into cardiomyocyte-like cells (iCMs) and their therapeutic effect on myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Cell experiments: The differential adhesion method was used to obtain Sprague Dawley (SD) suckling rat CFs and cardiomyocytes (CMs), while the ultracentrifugation method was used to obtain CM-EVs. Transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking technology were used to analyze and determine the morphology and particle size of CM-EVs.

Background: Cardiac macrophages are a heterogeneous population with high plasticity and adaptability, and their mechanisms in heart failure (HF) remain poorly elucidated.

Methods: We used single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing data to reveal the heterogeneity of non-cardiomyocytes and assess the immunoreactivity of each subpopulation. Additionally, we employed four integrated machine learning algorithms to identify macrophage-related genes with diagnostic value, and in vivo validation was performed.
