Skeletal myoblast transplantation is a promising strategy for treating end-stage heart failure. One potential problem in the development of functional, synchronously contracting grafts is the degree of intercellular communication between grafted myoblasts and host cardiomyocytes. Thus it is expected that enhancement of intercellular gap junction formation would result in improved efficiency of skeletal myoblast transplantation. In this study we investigated whether myoblasts overexpressing connexin 43, a major cardiac gap junction protein, would enhance this intercellular communication.
