| Abstract | Cardiac stem cells (CSCs) can differentiate into cardiac phenotypes representing early cardiomyocyte-like cells. However, CSCs-derived specification into sinus nodal cells is rarely known. Using the demethylating agent, 5-Aazacytidine (5-Aza), we tried to follow the process of cardiac specialization into sinus node-like cells. The c-kit+ cells were isolated from 1-month-old rat hearts and sorted by a flow cytometry cell sorting system. Then, analyses of immunofluorescence and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction were performed on the cells. The sorted c-kit+ cell are self-renewing and clonogenic. Some of the c-kit+ cell could spontaneously express GATA-4, cardiac troponin I (cTnI), smooth muscle actin (SMA) and CD31. At week 8, the cells treated with 10 µM 5-Aza expressed GATA-4 and cTnI at rates of 31.4±2.6% and 32.6±8.5%. Correspondingly, the rates were 21.4±8.1% and 18.7±4.3% in the cells without 5-Aza. The difference of GATA-4 or cTnI expression rate between two groups was of significance respectively, P<0.05. The cultured cells could express mRNA of GATA4, hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated 2 (HCN2) and HCN4. The mRNA expression was also up-regulated in cells treated with 10 µM 5-Aza and growth factors. By week 2 after cell sorting, inward currents could be recorded in a fraction of the cultured cells. In conclusion, 10 µM 5-Aza could promote the differentiation of c-kit+ cells into sinus node-like cells. 5-Aza-mediated differentiation seems to be helpful in future cell therapy for the patients suffering from loss of sinus node cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
