Over the last decade, stem/progenitor cell therapy has emerged as an innovative approach to promote cardiac repair and regeneration. However, the therapeutic prospects of are currently limited by inadequate means to regulate cell proliferation, homing, engraftment, and differentiation. Autophagy, a lysosome-mediated degradation pathway for recycling organelles and protein aggregates, is recognized as important for facilitating cell differentiation. Studies have shown that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPCs), which exhibit a predominantly glycolytic metabolism, shift toward oxidative mitochondrial metabolism as a prerequisite for the formation of sarcomeres and differentiation into cardiomyocytes. C2C12 myoblasts are a mouse-derived myogenic progenitor cell line which can be induced to differentiate into myotubes. We hypothesize that autophagy is essential in coordinating transcription factor activity and metabolic reprogramming of mitochondria to support myocyte differentiation.
