Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases have been one of the leading killers among the human population worldwide. During the heart development, cardiomyocytes undergo a transition from hyperplastic to hypertrophic growth with an unclear underlying mechanism. In this study, we aim to investigate how interferons differentially stimulate the interferon‐inducible transmembrane (IFITM) family proteins and further be involved in the process of heart development. The expression levels of three IFITM family members, IFITM1, IFITM2, and IFITM3 were investigated during Sprague–Dawley rat myocardial development and differentiation of H9C2 cardiomyocytes. The effects of interferon‐α, ‐β, and ‐γ on DNA synthesis in H9C2 cells were also characterized. Up‐regulation of IFITM1 and IFITM3 were observed during the heart development of Sprague–Dawley rat and the differentiation of H9C2 cells. Moreover, interferon‐α and ‐β induce the expression of IFITM3 while interferon‐γ up‐regulates IFITM1. Finally, interferon‐α and ‐β were demonstrated to inhibit DNA synthesis during H9C2 cell differentiation. Our results indicated interferons are potentially involved in the differentiation and cell proliferation during heart development. J. Cell.

Early maternal deprivation (MD) in rats (24 h, postnatal day 9-10) is a model for neurodevelopmental stress. There are some data proving that MD affects the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in a gender-dependent manner, and that these changes may account for the proposed schizophrenia-like phenotype of

## Abstract IFI 16 is a member of the HIN‐200 family of transcriptional regulators that suppress cell growth, modulate the cell cycle and have been linked to cellular differentiation. We hypothesized that the activity of IFI 16 depends on its level of expression and therefore studied the transcript
