PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In this review, we aim at presenting and discussing the cellular and molecular mechanisms of embryonic epicardial development that may underlie the origin of congenital heart disease (CHD). RECENT FINDINGS: New discoveries on the multiple cell lineages that form part of the original pool of epicardial progenitors and the roles played by epicardial transcription factors and morphogens in the regulation of epicardial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, epicardial-derived cell (EPDCs) differentiation, coronary blood vessel morphogenesis and cardiac interstitium formation are presented in a comprehensive manner. SUMMARY: We have provided evidence on the critical participation of epicardial cells and EPDCs in normal and abnormal cardiac development, suggesting the implication of defective epicardial development in various forms of CHD. |
