Project description:We report the application of a pericentriolar material 1 (PCM-1) based cardiomyocyte-specific nuclear isolation protocol on human cardiac tissue to specifically ask what transcriptional changes occur in cardiomyocytes of humans with atrial fibrillation. We performed RNA-sequencing on the cardiomyocyte-specific nuclear RNA and found that there are more differentially dysregulated (1343) than similarly regulated transcripts (99) in the right versus left atria. This study is the first of its kind aimed at understanding the transcriptional changes that occur specifically in the left and right atrial cardiomyocytes of humans with atrial fibrillation.

Project description:Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes atrial remodeling, and the left atrium (LA) is the favored substrate for maintaining AF. However, it remains unclear if AF remodels both atria differently and contributes to LA arrhythmogenesis and thrombogenesis. Results: AF was associated with differential LA-to-RA gene expression related to specific ion channels and pathways as well as upregulation of thrombogenesis-related genes in the LA appendage. Targeting the molecular mechanisms underlying the LA-to-RA difference and AF-related remodeling in the LA appendage may help provide new therapeutic options in treating AF and preventing thromboembolism in AF. Paired left atrial and right atrial specimens were obtained from 13 patients with persistent AF receiving valvular surgery. The Paired specimens were sent for microarray comparison. Selected results were validated by quantitative real time-PCR (q-PCR) and Western blotting. Ultrastructural changes in the atria were evaluated by immunohistochemistry.

Project description:Background: Chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complication associated with the dilated atria of patients with valvular heart disease and contributes to worsened pathology. Methods and Results: Using microarray technology, we examined microRNA (miR) expression profiles in right and left atrial appendage tissue from valvular heart disease (VHD) patients. Right atrial appendage from patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and left atrial (LA) appendage from healthy hearts not used for transplant were used as controls. VHD induced different changes in miR expression in LA compared with right atria (RA). Fifty-two (52) miRs were altered by VHD in LA, compared with 5 in RA tissue. There was no detectable effect of chronic AF on miR expression in LA tissue, but miR expression in RA was strongly influenced by AF, with 47 miRs showing differential expression. LA volume correlated with miR expression changes in both LA and RA, but the affected miRs were different for the two atrial groups. Conclusions: VHD and AF influence miR expression patterns in LA and RA, but these are affected differently by disease progression and by the development of AF. These findings provide new insights into the progression of VHD. RA tissue is not a useful surrogate for LA in studies of mitral valve disease. 34 arrays from either the left or right atrium from patients with Valvular Heart Disease (VHD), patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), or healthy controls. Arrays in this series were generated on V2 and V3 Agilent microRNA arrays and analysed in combination.

Project description:Note this data set has identical data files: Files GSM40994.txt and GSM40995.txt. GSE2240 contains two different experimental subsets:; 1) Comparison of atrial and ventricular gene expression (atrial tissue of patients with sinus rhythm vs. human left ventricular non-failing myocardium); The purpose of our investigation was to identify the transcriptional basis for ultrastructural and functional specialization of human atria and ventricles. Using exploratory microarray analysis (Affymetrix U133A+B), we detected 11,740 transcripts expressed in human heart, representing the most comprehensive report of the human myocardial transcriptome to date. Variation in gene expression between atria and ventricles accounted for the largest differences in this data set, as 3.300 and 2.974 transcripts showed higher expression in atria and ventricles, respectively. Functional classification based on Gene Ontology identified chamber-specific patterns of gene expression and provided molecular insights into the regional specialization of cardiomyocytes, correlating important functional pathways to transcriptional activity: Ventricular myocytes preferentially express genes satisfying contractile and energetic requirements, while atrial myocytes exhibit specific transcriptional activities related to neurohumoral function. In addition, several pro-fibrotic and apoptotic pathways were concentrated in atrial myocardium, substantiating the higher susceptibility of atria to programmed cell death and extracellular matrix remodelling observed in human and experimental animal models of heart failure. Differences in transcriptional profiles of atrial and ventricular myocardium thus provide molecular insights into myocardial cell diversity and distinct region-specific adaptations to physiological and pathophysiological conditions (Barth AS et al., Eur J Physiol, 2005). 2) Comparison of atrial gene expression in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm. Atrial fibrillation is associated with increased expression of ventricular myosin isoforms in atrial myocardium, regarded as part of a dedifferentiation process. Whether re-expression of ventricular isoforms in atrial fibrillation is restricted to transcripts encoding for contractile proteins is unknown. Therefore, this study compares atrial mRNA expression in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation to atrial mRNA expression of patients with sinus rhythm as well as to ventricular gene expression using Affymetrix U133 arrays. In atrial myocardium, we identified 1.434 genes deregulated in atrial fibrillation, the majority of which, including key elements of calcium-dependent signaling pathways, displayed down-regulation. Functional classification based on Gene Ontology provided the specific gene sets of the interdependent processes of structural, contractile and electrophysiological remodeling. In addition, we demonstrate for the first time a prominent up-regulation of transcripts involved in metabolic activities, suggesting an adaptive response to an increased metabolic demand in fibrillating atrial myocardium. Ventricular-predominant genes were five times more likely to be up-regulated in atrial fibrillation (174 genes up-regulated, 35 genes down-regulated), while atrial-specific transcripts were predominantly down-regulated (56 genes up-regulated, 564 genes down-regulated). Overall, in atrial myocardium, functional classes of genes characteristic of ventricular myocardium were found to be up-regulated (e.g. metabolic processes) while functional classes predominantly expressed in atrial myocardium were down-regulated in atrial fibrillation (e.g. signal transduction and cell communication). Therefore, dedifferentiation with adoption of a ventricular-like signature is a general feature of the fibrillating atrium, uncovering the transcriptional response pattern in pmAF (Barth AS et al., Circ Res, 2005).

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of arrhythmia observed in clinical cardiac diseases. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and elevation of blood pressure have been considered to be the main risk regulators of AF. However, the time series proteome profiling and the key signaling pathways involved in the development of Ang II-induced AF remain unclear. Wild-type C57BL/6 male mice (10 weeks old) were infused with Ang II (2000 ng/kg/min) for 1, 2 and 3 weeks, respectively. AF inducibility, left atrial volume and fibrosis were examined by echocardiography and histological staining. The time series proteome in atria tissues was evaluated with Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) and liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technologies. This study defined the dynamic changes of the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) involved in Ang II-induced AF, and identified that mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation may play a key role in this disease. These findings provide a resource for understanding the molecular mechanism research of AF.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is often a progressive cardiac arrhythmia that increases the risk of hospitalization and adverse cardiovascular events. There is a clear demand for more inclusive and large-scale approaches to understand the molecular drivers responsible for AF, as well as the fundamental mechanisms governing the transition from paroxysmal to persistent and permanent forms. We aimed to create a molecular map of AF and find the distinct genetic programs underlying cell type-specific atrial remodeling and AF progression. We used a sheep model of long-standing, tachypacing-induced AF, sampled right and left atrial tissue and isolated cardiomyocytes from control, intermediate (transition) and late time points during AF progression, and performed transcriptomic and proteome profiling. We have merged all these layers of information into a meaningful 3-component space in which we explored the genes and proteins detected and their common patterns of expression. Our data-driven analysis points at extracellular matrix remodeling, inflammation, ion channel, myofibril structure, mitochondrial complexes and chromatin remodeling as hallmarks of AF progression. Most important, we prove that these changes occur at early transitional stages of the disease, but not at later stages, and that the left atrium undergoes significantly more profound changes than the right atrium in its expression program. The pattern of dynamic changes in gene and protein expression correspond closely with the electrical and structural remodeling demonstrated previously in the sheep and in humans. The results provide novel insight into the dynamics of gene and protein expression changes that underlie AF-induced atrial remodeling and that make the arrhythmia become more stable and long lasting.

Project description:Purpose: Common genetic variation at chromosome 4q25 lead to the strongest locus associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), the most frequent arrhythmia. The mechanism of association is currently unknown. We recently have identified a novel noncoding RNA expressed in the left atria. To determine the potential functional roles of the LNCRNA adjacent to PITX2 (PANCR) via knockdown in cardiomyocytes Methods and Results: H9 differentiated cardiomyocytes were treated with siRNA targeting PANCR and PITX2c and a scrambled control in triplicate. RNA and small RNA extracted and sent for sequencing. Approximately 50 million read fragments mapped to the transcriptome using STAR aligner to hg19 and fragments counted with htseq. EdgeR was used to quantify the differences between treatment groups. There were significant changes upon knocking down PITX2c or PANCR in the RNA sequencing with high concordance of effect sizes between the two treatments (r2 = 0.85). Similar to the RNAseq analysis, this miRNAseq analysis shows that the effects of PANCR knockdown on miRNA expression may be largely mediated by through its effect on PITX2c expression. Conclusion: PANCR knockdown decreased PITX2c expression in H9 differentiated cardiomyocytes, and altered the transcriptome similar to PITX2c knockdown. H9 derived cardiomyoctyes were treated with siRNA knockdown (scrambled control, PANCR, PITX2c) in triplicate and RNA and smallRNAs extracted for sequencing.
