Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been the leading cause of death worldwide during the past several decades. Cell loss is the main problem that results in cardiac dysfunction and further mortality. Cell therapy aiming to replenish the lost cells is proposed to treat CVDs especially ischemic heart diseases which lead to a big portion of cell loss. Due to the direct injection's low cell retention and survival ratio, cell therapy using biomaterials as cell carriers has attracted more and more attention because of their promotion of cell delivery and maintenance at the aiming sites. In this review, the three main factors involved in cell therapy for myocardial tissue regeneration: cell sources (somatic cells, stem cells, and engineered cells), chemical components of cell carriers (natural materials, synthetic materials, and electroactive materials), and categories of cell delivery materials (patches, microspheres, injectable hydrogels, nanofiber and microneedles, etc.) are systematically summarized. An introduction of the methods including magnetic resonance/radionuclide/photoacoustic and fluorescence imaging for tracking the behavior of transplanted cells in vivo is also included. Current challenges of biomaterials-based cell therapy and their future directions are provided to give both beginners and professionals a clear view of the development and future trends in this area.

Abstract
Simultaneous myofibril and mitochondrial development is crucial for the cardiac differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). Specifically, mitochondrial energy metabolism (MEM) development in cardiomyocytes is essential for the beating function. Although previous studies have reported that MEM is correlated with cardiac differentiation, the process and timing of MEM regulation for cardiac differentiation remain poorly understood. Here, we performed transcriptome analysis of cells at specific stages of cardiac differentiation from mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and human induced PSCs (hiPSCs). We selected MEM genes strongly upregulated at cardiac lineage commitment and in a time-dependent manner during cardiac maturation and identified the protein-protein interaction networks. Notably, MEM proteins were found to interact closely with cardiac maturation-related proteins rather than with cardiac lineage commitment-related proteins. Furthermore, MEM proteins were found to primarily interact with cardiac muscle contractile proteins rather than with cardiac transcription factors. We identified several candidate MEM regulatory genes involved in cardiac lineage commitment (Cck, Bdnf, Fabp4, Cebpα, and Cdkn2a in mESC-derived cells, and CCK and NOS3 in hiPSC-derived cells) and cardiac maturation (Ppargc1α, Pgam2, Cox6a2, and Fabp3 in mESC-derived cells, and PGAM2 and SLC25A4 in hiPSC-derived cells). Therefore, our findings show the importance of MEM in cardiac maturation.

Abstract
Cardiomyocyte differentiation occurs through complex and finely regulated processes including cardiac lineage commitment and maturation from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). To gain some insight into the genome-wide characteristics of cardiac lineage commitment, we performed transcriptome analysis on both mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and human induced PSCs (hiPSCs) at specific stages of cardiomyocyte differentiation. Specifically, the gene expression profiles and the protein–protein interaction networks of the mESC-derived platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRα)+ cardiac lineage-committed cells (CLCs) and hiPSC-derived kinase insert domain receptor (KDR)+ and PDGFRα+ cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) at cardiac lineage commitment were compared with those of mesodermal cells and differentiated cardiomyocytes. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses revealed that the genes significantly upregulated at cardiac lineage commitment were associated with responses to organic substances and external stimuli, extracellular and myocardial contractile components, receptor binding, gated channel activity, PI3K‑AKT signaling, and cardiac hypertrophy and dilation pathways. Protein–protein interaction network analysis revealed that the expression levels of genes that regulate cardiac maturation, heart contraction, and calcium handling showed a consistent increase during cardiac differentiation; however, the expression levels of genes that regulate cell differentiation and multicellular organism development decreased at the cardiac maturation stage following lineage commitment. Additionally, we identified for the first time the protein–protein interaction network connecting cardiac development, the immune system, and metabolism during cardiac lineage commitment in both mESC-derived PDGFRα+ CLCs and hiPSC-derived KDR+PDGFRα+ CPCs. These findings shed light on the regulation of cardiac lineage commitment and the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic diseases.
