Abstract
Induction of endogenous regenerative capacity has emerged as one promising approach to repair damaged
hearts following myocardial infarction (MI). Re-expression of factors that are exclusively expressed during
embryonic development may reactivate the ability of adult cardiomyocytes to regenerate. Here, we identified
miR-411 as a potent inducer of cardiomyocyte proliferation. Overexpression of miR-411 in the heart significantly
increased cardiomyocyte proliferation and survival in a model MI. We found that miR-411 enhances the activity
of YAP, the main downstream effector of the Hippo pathway, in cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, miR-411 induces
cardiomyocyte regeneration and improves cardiac function post-MI likely by modulating the Hippo/YAP
pathway.
