Cardiomyocyte‐Specific Overexpression of Activated Yes‐Associated Protein Modified‐RNA Promotes Cardiomyocyte Proliferation and Myocardial Regeneration by Yongyu Wang, Yalin Wu, Yu Jiang, Huilan Tan, Bijay Guragain, Thanh Nguyen, Jianli Zhao, Yang Zhou, Yuji Nakada, Jianyi Zhang

“…Both cardiomyocyte proliferation and myocardial regeneration can be improved via the overexpression of a constitutively active variant of YAP5SA (Yes‐associated protein, 5SA [active] mutant), but persistent overexpression of proliferation‐inducing genes could lead to hypertrophy and arrhythmia, whereas off‐target expression in fibroblasts and macrophages could increase fibrosis and inflammation. Methods and Results Transient overexpression of YAP5SA or GFP (green fluorescent protein; control) was targeted to cardiomyocytes via our cardiomyocyte‐specific modified mRNA translation system (YAP5SACM‐SMRTs or GFPCM‐SMRTs, respectively). …”
