A team at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and PUMC discovers that the MRG15L splice variant accumulates during replicative senescence, weakening histone H4 acetylation recognition and suppressing CDK1 transcription. Knocking out MRG15L in mouse fibroblasts delays p16-driven senescence, while heart-specific ablation enhances post-infarction regeneration by promoting cardiomyocyte proliferation.

Key points

• Alternative splicing yields MRG15L, a chromo-domain variant with reduced binding to H4K12ac/H4K16ac, attenuating CDK1 promoter activation.
• CRISPR-Cas9–mediated knockout of MRG15L in MEFs lowers p16 and SA-β-gal levels, delays G2/M arrest, and sustains proliferation in replicative senescence assays.
• Cardiac-specific MRG15L-KO mice display ~30% reduction in infarct size, increased PHH3+ cardiomyocytes, improved ejection fraction, and decreased apoptosis after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion.

Why it matters: This study reveals alternative splicing of MRG15 as a switch controlling cell cycle exit and heart regeneration, opening new avenues for anti-aging and cardiac repair therapies.
