Gata4-dependent differentiation of c-Kit+ derived endothelial cells underlies deceptive cardiomyocyte regeneration in the heart

Overall goal: To elucidate the endothelial-specific role of Gata4 signaling in endothelial maturation and vascular maintenance. Purpose of analysis: To generate a transcriptional profile of Gata4-deficient endothelial cells in the adult myocardium under homeostatic conditions. Experimental structure: Transcriptional profile generated using RNAseq and differential gene expression analyses of endothelial cells lacking Gata4 isolated from healthy hearts.
