| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) performs the regulation in the cell, and it is also involved in the mouse heart development. On the other hand, the involvement of lncRNA in human heart development remain unclear. Therefore, we induced differentiation into cardiomyocytes using human iPS cells and RNA-seq analysis was performed in a time dependent. As a result, lncRNA EVX1 AS was identified. Over expression of EVX1AS in iPS cells increased the expression level of cardiomyocyte-related genes such as GATA4, MEF2C, and TBX5.However, its functions are still unknown and it is necessary to continue the analysis in the future.
