This study utilized nanodiamond as a gene delivery vehicle to carry microRNA (miR-181a) into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) to promote cardiomyocyte-lineage differentiation. The miR-181a targeted Hox-A11, leading to elevated MyoD expression and enhanced cardiomyocyte differentiation.
Background: Gene therapy is the advanced therapeutics for supplying or replacing the genetic material in patients with inherited disorders. Recent clinical studies have made some progress in a wide range of applications, including monogenic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, malignant tumors, and congenital diseases. Heart diseases, especially myocardial ischemia, remain one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and usually result in irreparable cardiomyocyte damage and severe heart failure. Methods: Most advances in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technologies for promoting regenerative medicine and stem cell research. However, the driver molecules of myocardial-lineage differentiation and the functional reconstruction capacity of iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes are still an open question. Nanomedicine-based gene delivery provided a crucial platform to carry on the biogenomic materials for equipping functionalities and engineering the living organ environment. Nanodiamond (ND), a carbon-based nanomaterial, has been discovered and shown the high biocompatible and less toxicity for transporting protein, drug, and genomic plasmids. Results: Here, we applied ND as a gene delivery vehicle to carry microRNA (miR-181a), and then transfected into iPS to promote cardiomyocyte-lineage differentiation. Notably, miR-181a plays a key role in iPS-derived cardiomyocyte differentiation which directly targets Hox-A11, leading to elevated MyoD expression and enhanced cardiomyocyte differentiation. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that miR-181a promotes iPSC differentiation into functional cardiomyocytes. Delivery of NANO-DIAMOND-miR-181a may host clinical potential to enhance the differentiation and recovery of the cardiogenic function in injured cardiomyocytes.
