Direct cardiac reprogramming, the conversion of fibroblasts into cardiomyocytelike cells (iCMs), is an attractive approach to heal the injured heart. Here we present a new approach to human cardiac reprogramming that utilizes a polycistronic three-factor reprogramming cocktail and one microRNA. Our protocol produces cardiac Troponin T positive human iCMs (hiCMs) at an efficiency of 4 0%-60%, approximately double that of previous protocols, within just 2 weeks. The resulting hiCMs display cardiomyocyte-like sarcomere structure, gene expression, and calcium oscillation.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zhou et al. (2019).
