摘要
目的综述Tbx3基因在心脏窦房结(Sinoatrial node,SN)发育和功能维持中的作用,并展望其应用前景。方法广泛查阅近十年来关于Tbx3基因对于心脏的相关文献,分析其在窦房结发育过程中及成熟后功能维持方面的调控作用,以期理清其调控网络,并对此进行综述。结果研究表明,Tbx3能抑制干细胞向心肌工作细胞分化,上调起搏细胞的表达,同时促进胚胎干细胞向窦房结样细胞分化,增强并维持起搏相关基因的表达,但Tbx3仅仅在传导系统的发育中起着"开关"的作用,其上下游及等时空位点可能还存在复杂的调控机制有待阐明。结论 Tbx3是窦房结发育和功能维持过程中非常重要的调控因子,对Tbx3的深入研究,有利于更深入了解起搏细胞发育的调控网络,可能作为缓慢型心律失常的治疗靶点之一,同时也为生物起搏器的研究提供更坚实的理论基础。
