Cardiopulmonary bypass with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest results in organ-specific transcriptomic responses in pediatric swine.

ABSTRACT: The organ-level molecular response to cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains inadequately understood and may be heterogeneous. Here, we measured organ-specific gene expression in a piglet model of CPB with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). Infant piglets underwent peripheral CPB with 75 min of DHCA and 6 h of critical care after separation from CPB. Mechanically ventilated animals served as controls. Tissue was obtained from the lung, kidney, liver, heart, and ileum. RNA sequencing was performed using NovaSeq 6000 and evaluated via differentially expressed gene (DEG) and pathway/network analyses. CPB/DHCA induced significant transcriptomic alterations, with greater changes seen in liver (2,166 DEGs), heart (775 DEGs), and kidney (1,759 DEGs) compared to lung (4
