We investigated whether re-expression of lamin A in cardiomyocytes can rescue the severe phenotype of Lmna⁻/⁻ mice. An adeno-associated virus vector expressing wild-type Lmna (AAV-Lmna/DJ8) was administered intrathoracically to neonatal mice. Three weeks after injection, treated Lmna⁻/⁻ mice exhibited robust cardiac Lmna mRNA induction and nuclear localization of lamin A protein, reflecting efficient cardiotropic gene delivery. Compared with PBS treatment, AAV-Lmna/DJ8 treatment promoted body weight maintenance, improved left ventricular systolic function, and significantly prolonged survival in Lmna⁻/⁻ mice. To explore the underlying mechanisms, we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing of cardiomyocytes from wild-type mice, PBS-treated Lmna⁻/⁻ mice, and AAV-Lmna/DJ8–treated Lmna⁻/⁻ mice. AAV-mediated lamin A re-expression shifted the cardiomyocyte transcriptome toward the wild-type profile, and restored oxidative phosphorylation–related gene programs, which were diminished in untreated Lmna⁻/⁻ mice. These findings demonstrate that targeted re-expression of Lmna ameliorates cardiac dysfunction in Lmna⁻/⁻ mice and highlight the therapeutic potential of LMNA gene replacement for laminopathy-associated cardiomyopathy.</description><dates><publication>2026/05/12</publication></dates><accession>GSE319519</accession><cross_references><GSM>GSM9519014</GSM><GSM>GSM9519015</GSM><GSM>GSM9519013</GSM><GSM>GSM9519018</GSM><GSM>GSM9519016</GSM><GSM>GSM9519017</GSM><GPL>24247</GPL><GSE>319519</GSE><taxon>Mus musculus</taxon></cross_references></HashMap>
