Project description:ImportanceSomatic mutations causing clonal expansion of hematopoietic cells (clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential [CHIP]) are increased with age and associated with atherosclerosis and inflammation. Age and inflammation are the major risk factors for heart failure, yet the association of CHIP with heart failure in humans is unknown.ObjectiveTo assess the potential prognostic significance of CHIP in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) owing to ischemic origin.Design, setting, and participantsWe analyzed bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells from 200 patients with CHF by deep targeted amplicon sequencing to detect the presence of CHIP and associated such with long-term prognosis in patients with CHF at University Hospital Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany. Data were analyzed between October 2017 and April 2018.ResultsMedian age of the patients was 65 years. Forty-seven mutations with a variant allele fraction (VAF) of at least 0.02 were found in 38 of 200 patients with CHF (18.5%). The somatic mutations most commonly occurred in the genes DNMT3A (14 patients), TET2 (9 patients), KDM6A (4 patients), and BCOR (3 patients). Patients with CHIP were older and more frequently had a history of hypertension. During a median follow-up of 4.4 years, a total of 53 patients died, and 23 patients required hospitalization for heart failure. There was a significantly worse long-term clinical outcome for patients with either DNMT3A or TET2 mutations compared with non-CHIP carriers. By multivariable Cox proportional regression analysis, the presence of somatic mutations within TET2 or DNMT3A (HR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.1-4.0; P = .02, for death combined with heart failure hospitalization) and age (HR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01-1.07 per year; P = .005) but not a history of hypertension remained independently associated with adverse outcome. Importantly, there was a significant dose-response association between VAF and clinical outcome.Conclusions and relevanceOur data suggest that somatic mutations in hematopoietic cells, specifically in the most commonly mutated CHIP driver genes TET2 and DNMT3A, may be significantly associated with the progression and poor prognosis of CHF. Future studies will have to validate our findings in larger cohorts and address whether targeting specific inflammatory pathways may be valuable for precision medicine in patients with CHF carrying specific mutations encoding for CHIP.

Project description:Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is an aging process associated with the prognosis in heart failure (HF), regardless of etiology. This study investigated the association between CHIP and myocardial tissue characteristics in patients with non-ischemic HF. We enrolled 95 patients diagnosed with non-ischemic HF with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≤40 % who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 3 months of diagnosis. Next-generation sequencing was performed to determine the presence of CHIP-related mutations. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed to evaluate left ventricular reverse remodeling. CHIP was identified in 15 patients. Patients with CHIP-mutation had higher native T1, extracellular volume fraction, and late gadolinium enhancement quantification (LGE). After adjusting for age and sex, CHIP mutations remained as contributing factors to the differences in cardiac MRI mapping values. However, no difference was observed in left ventricular reverse remodeling by CHIP within 1 year. This study demonstrated CHIP's association with higher mapping values and LGE on cardiac MRI. However, its impact on short-term LV reverse remodeling in non-ischemic HF patients was attenuated, indicating the need for further research on its long-term effect.

Project description:Clonal hematopoiesis (CH), in which stem cell clones dominate blood production, becomes increasingly common with age and can presage malignancy development. The conditions that promote ascendancy of particular clones are unclear. We found that mutations in PPM1D (protein phosphatase Mn2+/Mg2+-dependent 1D), a DNA damage response regulator that is frequently mutated in CH, were present in one-fifth of patients with therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome and strongly correlated with cisplatin exposure. Cell lines with hyperactive PPM1D mutations expand to outcompete normal cells after exposure to cytotoxic DNA damaging agents including cisplatin, and this effect was predominantly mediated by increased resistance to apoptosis. Moreover, heterozygous mutant Ppm1d hematopoietic cells outcompeted their wild-type counterparts in vivo after exposure to cisplatin and doxorubicin, but not during recovery from bone marrow transplantation. These findings establish the clinical relevance of PPM1D mutations in CH and the importance of studying mutation-treatment interactions. VIDEO ABSTRACT.

Project description:Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is caused by somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells and associates with worse prognosis in patients with heart failure. Patients harboring CHIP mutations show enhanced inflammation. However, whether these signatures are derived from the relatively low number of cells harboring mutations or are indicators of systemic pro-inflammatory activation that is associated with CHIP is unclear. Here we assess the cell-intrinsic effects of CHIP mutant cells in patients with heart failure. Using an improved single-cell sequencing pipeline (MutDetect-Seq), we show that DNMT3A mutant monocytes, CD4+ T cells and NK cells exhibit altered gene expression profiles. While monocytes showed increased genes associated with inflammation and phagocytosis, T cells and NK cells present increased activation signatures and effector functions. Increased paracrine signaling pathways are predicted and validated between mutant and wild-type monocytes and T cells, which amplify inflammatory circuits. Altogether, these data provide novel insights into how CHIP might promote a worse prognosis in patients with heart failure.

Project description:BackgroundAge-related clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), defined as clonally expanded leukemogenic sequence variations (particularly in DNMT3A, TET2, ASXL1, and JAK2) in asymptomatic individuals, is associated with cardiovascular events, including recurrent heart failure (HF).ObjectivesThis study sought to evaluate whether CHIP is associated with incident HF.MethodsCHIP status was obtained from whole exome or genome sequencing of blood DNA in participants without prevalent HF or hematological malignancy from 5 cohorts. Cox proportional hazards models were performed within each cohort, adjusting for demographic and clinical risk factors, followed by fixed-effect meta-analyses. Large CHIP clones (defined as variant allele frequency >10%), HF with or without baseline coronary heart disease, and left ventricular ejection fraction were evaluated in secondary analyses.ResultsOf 56,597 individuals (59% women, mean age 58 years at baseline), 3,406 (6%) had CHIP, and 4,694 developed HF (8.3%) over up to 20 years of follow-up. CHIP was prospectively associated with a 25% increased risk of HF in meta-analysis (hazard ratio: 1.25; 95% confidence interval: 1.13-1.38) with consistent associations across cohorts. ASXL1, TET2, and JAK2 sequence variations were each associated with an increased risk of HF, whereas DNMT3A sequence variations were not associated with HF. Secondary analyses suggested large CHIP was associated with a greater risk of HF (hazard ratio: 1.29; 95% confidence interval: 1.15-1.44), and the associations for CHIP on HF with and without prior coronary heart disease were homogenous. ASXL1 sequence variations were associated with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.ConclusionsCHIP, particularly sequence variations in ASXL1, TET2, and JAK2, represents a new risk factor for HF.

Project description:Aging-elevated DNMT3A R882H-driven clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is a risk factor for myeloid malignancies remission and overall survival. Although some studies were conducted to investigate this phenomenon, the exact mechanism is still under debate. In this study, we observed that DNMT3A R878H bone marrow cells (human allele: DNMT3A R882H) displayed enhanced reconstitution capacity in aged bone marrow milieu and upon inflammatory insult. DNMT3A R878H protects hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from the damage induced by chronic inflammation, especially TNFα insults. Mechanistically, we identified that RIPK1-RIPK3-MLKL-mediated necroptosis signaling was compromised in R878H cells in response to proliferation stress and TNFα insults. Briefly, we elucidated the molecular mechanism driving DNMT3A R878H-based clonal hematopoiesis, which raises clinical value for treating DNMT3A R882H-driven clonal hematopoiesis and myeloid malignancies with aging.

Project description:ImportanceClonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), the age-related clonal expansion of hematopoietic stem cells with leukemogenic acquired genetic variants, is associated with incident heart failure (HF).ObjectiveTo evaluate the associations of CHIP and key gene-specific CHIP subtypes with incident HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).Design, setting, and participantsThis population-based cohort study included participants from 2 racially diverse prospective cohort studies with uniform HF subtype adjudication: the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) and Women's Health Initiative (WHI). JHS participants were enrolled during 2000 to 2004 and followed up through 2016. WHI participants were enrolled during 1993 to 1998 and followed up through 2022. Participants who underwent whole-genome sequencing, lacked prevalent HF at baseline, and were followed up for HF adjudication were included. Follow-up occurred over a median (IQR) of 12.0 (11.0-12.0) years in the JHS and 15.3 (9.0-22.0) years in the WHI. Statistical analysis was performed from June to December 2023.ExposuresAny CHIP and the most common gene-specific CHIP subtypes (DNMT3A and TET2 CHIP).Main outcomes and measuresFirst incident hospitalized HF events were adjudicated from hospital records and classified as HFpEF (left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%) or HFrEF (ejection fraction <50%).ResultsA total of 8090 participants were included; 2927 from the JHS (median [IQR] age, 56 [46-65] years; 1846 [63.1%] female; 2927 [100.0%] Black or African American) and 5163 from the WHI (median [IQR] age, 67 [62-72] years; 5163 [100.0%] female; 29 [0.6%] American Indian or Alaska Native, 37 [0.7%] Asian or Pacific Islander, 1383 [26.8%] Black or African American, 293 [5.7%] Hispanic or Latinx, 3407 [66.0%] non-Hispanic White, and 14 [0.3%] with other race and ethnicity). The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for composite CHIP and HFpEF was 1.28 (95% CI, 0.93-1.76; P = .13), and for CHIP and HFrEF it was 0.79 (95% CI, 0.49-1.25; P = .31). TET2 CHIP was associated with HFpEF in both cohorts (meta-analyzed HR, 2.35 [95% CI, 1.34 to 4.11]; P = .003) independent of cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery disease. Analyses stratified by C-reactive protein (CRP) in the WHI found an increased risk of incident HFpEF in individuals with CHIP and CRP greater than or equal to 2 mg/L (HR, 1.94 [95% CI, 1.20-3.15]; P = .007), but not in those with CHIP and CRP less than 2 mg/L or those with CRP greater than or equal to 2 mg/L without CHIP, when compared with participants without CHIP and CRP less than 2 mg/L.Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study, TET2 CHIP was an independent risk factor associated with incident HFpEF. This finding may have implications for the prevention and management of HFpEF, including development of targeted therapies.

Project description:BackgroundClonal hematopoiesis (CH), which results from an array of nonmalignant driver gene mutations, can lead to altered immune cell function and chronic disease, and has been associated with worse outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction. However, the role of CH in the prognosis of HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been understudied. This study aimed to characterize CH in patients with HFpEF and elucidate its causal role in a murine model.MethodsUsing a panel of 20 candidate CH driver genes and a variant allele fraction cutoff of 0.5%, ultradeep error-corrected sequencing identified CH in a cohort of 81 patients with HFpEF (mean age, 71±6 years; ejection fraction, 63±5%) and 36 controls without a diagnosis of HFpEF (mean age, 74±7 years; ejection fraction, 61.5±8%). CH was also evaluated in a replication cohort of 59 individuals with HFpEF.ResultsCompared with controls, there was an enrichment of TET2-mediated CH in the HFpEF patient cohort (12% versus 0%, respectively; P=0.02). In the HFpEF cohort, patients with CH exhibited exacerbated diastolic dysfunction in terms of E/e' (14.9 versus 11.7, respectively; P=0.0096) and E/A (1.69 versus 0.89, respectively; P=0.0206) compared with those without CH. The association of CH with exacerbated diastolic dysfunction was corroborated in a validation cohort of individuals with HFpEF. In accordance, patients with HFpEF, an age ≥70 years, and CH exhibited worse prognosis in terms of 5-year cardiovascular-related hospitalization rate (hazard ratio, 5.06; P=0.042) compared with patients with HFpEF and an age ≥70 years without CH. To investigate the causal role of CH in HFpEF, nonconditioned mice underwent adoptive transfer with Tet2-wild-type or Tet2-deficient bone marrow and were subsequently subjected to a high-fat diet/L-NAME (Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester) combination treatment to induce features of HFpEF. This model of Tet2-CH exacerbated cardiac hypertrophy by heart weight/tibia length and cardiomyocyte size, diastolic dysfunction by E/e' and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, and cardiac fibrosis compared with the Tet2-wild-type condition.ConclusionsCH is associated with worse heart function and prognosis in patients with HFpEF, and a murine experimental model of Tet2-mediated CH displays greater features of HFpEF.

Project description:Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is a common bone marrow abnormality induced by age-related DNA mutations, which give rise to proinflammatory immune cells. These immune cells exacerbate atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and may induce or accelerate heart failure. The mechanisms involved are complex but point toward a central role for proinflammatory macrophages and an inflammasome-dependent immune response (IL-1 [interleukin-1] and IL-6 [interleukin-6]) in the atherosclerotic plaque or directly in the myocardium. Intracardiac inflammation may decrease cardiac function and induce cardiac fibrosis, even in the absence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The pathophysiology and consequences of CHIP may differ among implicated genes as well as subgroups of patients with heart failure, based on cause (ischemic versus nonischemic) and ejection fraction (reduced ejection fraction versus preserved ejection fraction). Evidence is accumulating that CHIP is associated with cardiovascular mortality in ischemic and nonischemic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and involved in the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. CHIP and corresponding inflammatory pathways provide a highly potent therapeutic target. Randomized controlled trials in patients with well-phenotyped heart failure, where readily available anti-inflammatory therapies are used to intervene with clonal hematopoiesis, may pave the way for a new area of heart failure treatment. The first clinical trials that target CHIP are already registered.

Project description:Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is caused by somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells and is associated with worse prognosis in heart failure patients. Patients harboring CHIP mutations show enhanced inflammation. However, whether these signatures are derived from the relatively low number of cells harboring mutations or are indicators of a systemic pro-inflammatory activation that is associated with CHIP is unclear. In this study, we assessed the cell-intrinsic effects of CHIP mutant-carrying cells in patients with heart failure. Using an improved protocol to detect mutant cells on a single cell level (MutDetect-Seq), we show that DNMT3A mutant monocytes exhibit altered gene expression profiles associated with inflammation and phagolysosome function. Gene expression was also significantly altered in DNMT3A mutant CD4+ T cells and NK cells, but not CD8 T cells. DNMT3A silenced CD4+ T cells and NK cells showed increased effector functions. Moreover, increased paracrine signaling pathways are predicted and validated between mutated and wild monocytes and T cells, which amplify inflammatory circuits. Taken together, these data provide novel insights into how CHIP might promote worse prognosis in heart failure patients.
