Characterization and analysis of long non-coding rna (lncRNA) in In Vitro- and Ex Vivo-derived cardiac progenitor cells.

Recent advancements in cell-based therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) show continuing promise for the use of transplanted stem and cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) to promote cardiac restitution. However, a detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms that control the development of these cells remains incomplete and is critical for optimizing their use in such therapy. Long non-coding (lnc) RNA has recently emerged as a crucial class of regulatory molecules involved in directing a variety of critical biological processes including development, homeostasis and disease. As such, a rising body of evidence suggests that they also play key regulatory roles in CPC development, though many questions remain regarding the expression landscape and specific identity of lncRNA involved in this process. To address this, we performed whole transcriptome sequencing of two murine CPC populations-Nkx2-5 EmGFP reporter-sorted embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived and ex vivo, cardiosphere-derived-in an effort to characterize their lncRNA profiles and potentially identify novel CPC regulators. The resulting sequencing data revealed an enrichment in both CPC populations for a panel of previously-identified lncRNA genes associated with cardiac differentiation. Additionally, a total of 1,678 differentially expressed and as-of-yet unannotated, putative lncRNA genes were found to be enriched for in the two CPC populations relative to undifferentiated ES cells.
