Microarray analysis to identify differential molecular signatures in subjects with stable coronary artery disease on standard dosage regimens versus healthy controls

ABSTRACT: In the present study, we used a top-down approach using microarray analysis to evaluate the novel molecular signatures that differentiate between subjects with stable coronary artery disease and normal healthy controls and which remain unresponsive to the standard therapies currently in clinical practice . Micro-array analysis revealed that inspite of concerted treatment efforts 513 genes were differentially expressed in our patient group vs healthy controls. To access the effect of ongoing therapies on stable CAD patients and to obtain gene signatures from these patients. We selected 4 angiographically proven stable CAD patients who were on medications for more than 3 months or more from Group-1 (n=100) and compared the data with 2 normal age and sex-matched healthy Controls (n=50) belonging to the same ethnic origin and socio-economic status. RNA extraction and hybridization was done using Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Terminalia arjuna (Roxb.) Wight & Arn., a well known Traditional medicine an. popularly known as Arjuna, has a long antiquity of its role as a cardiac stimulant, and has been stipulated in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, heart failure and atherosclerosis. The present study was carried out to access the effects of Terminalia arjuna as an adjuvant therapy in angiographically proven patients with stable coronary artery disease who were on conventional medications. The goal of the study was to establish whether Terminalia arjuna exerts beneficial effects in targetting disease signatures which remain unresponsive to the standard therapies currently employed in the clinics. The present study scientifically validates the therapeutic effects of this medicinal plant as an adjuvant therapy along with conventional drugs routinely used in the clinics for prevention and treatment of coronary artery disease. To access the effect of T.arjuna, a placebo-controlled, double blind randomized study was carried out in 100 angiographically proven non-diabetic patients with coronary artery disease having disease more than 3 months prior to their enrollment and using any combination of cardiac-related medications including ASA, ACEIs, ARBs, β-blockers and statins (Trial Registration Number : REF/2013/03/004810). Out of total 100 patients, 50 patients were on drug A and 50 patients were on drug B for a total duration of 6 months (Follow-up at 3 and 6 months). Both Drug as well as placebo was given in the form of capsule (500mg) provided by The Himalaya Drug Company, Bangalore. Method of concealment was through coded identical containers. All the participants, investigator, outcome Assessor and data-entry operator were blinded during the whole study. Micro-array was performed in 2 randomly selected patients in each sub-group i.e. Terminalia arjuna or Placebo at 3 and 6 months respectively. RNA extraction and hybridization was carried out using Affymetrix microarrays. Differential expression of genes in T.arjuna-treated and Placebo groups was studied to understand the specificity, efficacy and mechanism of action of T.arjuna.

Project description:Monocytes and T-cells play an important role in the development of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). Differences in transcriptional activity of these cells might reflect the individual's atherosclerotic burden. Transcriptome analysis of circulating mononuclear cells from carefully matched atherosclerotic and control patients will potentially provide insights into the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and supply biomarkers for diagnostic purposes. From patients undergoing coronary angiography because of anginal symptoms, we carefully matched 18 patients with severe triple-vessel CAD to 13 control patients without signs of CAD on angiography. All patients were on statin and aspirin treatment. RNA from circulating CD4+ T-cells, CD14+ monocytes, lipopolysaccharide-stimulated monocytes, macrophages and CD34+ progenitor cells was subjected to genome-wide expression analysis. Only CD14+ monocytes demonstrated that a small number of genes involved in activation was overexpressed in control patients, which was verified by real-time polymerase-chain reaction. In this pilot study, cautious matching of patients with severe atherosclerotic CAD with control patients without angiographic signs of coronary atherosclerosis did not reveal differences in transcriptional activity in four out of five different mononuclear cell types. In resting monocytes from patients without overt CAD some inflammatory genes were overexpressed as compared to patients with severe CAD. Large inter-individual variability prevented the use of single differentially expressed genes as biomarkers. Keywords: disease-state analysis In total 153 arrays were analyzed with 6 technical replicates (147 biological samples). CD34+ stem cells, CD4+ T-cells, resting CD14+ monocytes, stimulated monocytes and macrophages were analyzed, all from patient with severe coronary atherosclerosis or controls that had no coronary atherosclerosis as determined angiographically, and which were carefully matched for age and gender.
