Dysregulation of N-terminal acetylation causes cardiac arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy

D. Yoshinaga, R. Feng, M. Prondzynski, K. Shani, Y. Tharani, J. Milosh, D. Walker, K. Carreon, B. M. Boss, K. K. Parker, W. T. Pu, V. J. Bezzerides

This study identifies a mutation in NAA10 causing cardiac arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy by disrupting N-terminal acetylation, and shows potential therapeutic interventions.

MicroRNA-122-mediated liver detargeting enhances the tissue specificity of cardiac genome editing

L. Yang, C. Guo, Z. Liu, Z. Chen, Y. Sun, X. Hu, Y. Zheng, Y. Li, F. Gao, P. Zhou, W. T. Pu, Y. Guo

This study shows that AAV-Tnnt2 vectors leak into the liver, reducing cardiac specificity, and demonstrates that adding miR122 target sequences reduces this leakiness.

ACTN2 mutant causes proteopathy in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes

A. T. Zech, M. Prondzynski, S. R. Singh, N. Pietsch, E. Orthey, E. Alizoti, J. Busch, A. Madsen, C. S. Behrens, M. Meyer-Jens, G. Mearini, M. D. Lemoine, E. Kraemer, D. Mosqueira, S. Virdi, , L. Carrier

This study shows that an ACTN2 mutation leads to proteopathy in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes through protein aggregation and activation of proteolytic systems.

Selectively expressing SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein S1 subunit in cardiomyocytes induces cardiac hypertrophy in mice.

S. G. Negron, C. W. Kessinger, B. Xu, W. T. Pu, Z. Lin

This study shows that expressing SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 subunit in cardiomyocytes causes cardiac hypertrophy and inflammation via TLR4 activation, independent of ACE2.
