Our data strongly support the crucial role of FLNC as a bridge between actin filaments and ECM through its interactions with actin, ITGB1, γ-SAG, and other associated proteins in cardiomyocytes. Disruption of FLN-actin interaction may result in detachment of actin filaments from the extracellular matrix, ultimately impairing normal cardiac development and function. These findings also provide insights into mechanisms underlying cardiomyopathy associated with genetic variants in FLNC ABD and other regions.
