Meta-analysis of Genome-wide Associations and Polygenic Risk Prediction for Atrial Fibrillation in More Than 180,000 Cases

ABSTRACT: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common abnormality of heart rhythm and is a leading cause of heart failure and stroke. This large-scale meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) increased the power to detect single-nucleotide variant (SNV) associations, and we report more than 350 AF-associated genetic loci. At 139 loci we identified candidate genes related to muscle contractility, cardiac muscle development and cell-cell communication. We next assayed chromatin accessibility by ATAC-seq and histone H3 Lysine 4 trimethylation in stem cell derived atrial cardiomyocytes. We observed a marked increase in chromatin accessibility of our sentinel variants and prioritized genes in atrial cardiomyocytes. Finally, we found that a polygenic risk score (PRS) based on our updated effect estimates improved AF risk prediction compared to the CHARGE-AF clinical risk score and a previously reported PRS for AF. The doubling of known AF risk loci will facilitate a greater understanding of the pathways underlying this heart rhythm disorder.

Characterizing the global changes in miRNA expression in human atrial appendages with persistent atrial fibrillation.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac rhythm disorder, is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. AF is characterized by the rapid and irregular activation of the atrium with diverse abnormalities, including electrical, structural, metabolic, neurohormonal, or molecular alterations.3 Although the pathophysiology of AF is complex, it has traditionally been treated with antiarrhythmic drugs that control the rhythm by altering cardiac electrical properties, principally by modulating ion channel function. However, treatments of AF with antiarrhythmic drugs have mostly failed to control the heart rhythm, because the electrical characteristics of atrial cardiomyocytes are eventually altered or remodeled during the course of AF. The aims of this study were to characterize the global changes in miRNA expression in human atrial appendages and to identify the target ion channel(s) responsible for electrical remodeling in AF. In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis of miRNA microarrays, using a strict selection for human samples.

Comparison of atrial appendage tissues of patients with Valvular Heart Disease and patients with Valvular Heart Disease-Atrial Fibrillation

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart arrhythmia disease. The greatest risk of atrial fibrillation is stroke, and stroke caused by valvular heart disease with atrial fibrillation (AF-VHD) is more serious. the development mechanism from VHD to AF-VHD is not yet clear. The research on expression profiles of lncRNA and mRNA is helpful to explore molecular mechanism in patients with valvular heart disease who develop atrial fibrillation.

Sequencing in Over 50,000 Cases Identifies Coding and Structural Variation Underlying Atrial Fibrillation Risk

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent and morbid abnormality of the heart rhythm with a strong genetic component Here, we meta-analyzed genome and exome sequencing data from 36 studies that included 52,416 AF cases and 277,762 controls In burden tests of rare coding variation, we identified novel associations between AF and the genes MYBPC3, LMNA, PKP2, FAM189A2 and KDM5B We further identified associations between AF and rare structural variants due to deletions in CTNNA3 and duplications of GATA4 We broadly replicated our findings in independent samples from MyCode, deCODE and UK Biobank Finally, we found that CRISPR-knockout of KDM5B in stem cell derived atrial cardiomyocytes led to a shortening of the action potential duration and widespread transcriptomic dysregulation of genes relevant to atrial homeostasis and conduction Our results highlight the contribution of rare coding and structural variants to AF, the genetic link between AF and cardiomyopathies, and expand our understanding of the rare variant architecture for this common arrhythmia

IKACH IS CONSTITUTIVELY ACTIVE VIA PKC EPSILON IN AGING MEDIATED ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common abnormal heart rhythm, is a major cause for stroke. Aging is the greatest risk factor for AF, however, specific ionic pathways that can elucidate how aging leads to AF remain elusive. We used young and old wild type (WT) and PKC epsilon (PKCepsilon) knockout (KO) mice, whole animal, and cellular electrophysiology, as well as whole heart, and cellular imaging to investigate how aging leads to the aberrant functioning of a potassium current, and consequently to AF facilitation. Our experiments showed that knocking out PKC epsilon abrogates the effects of aging on AF by preventing the development of a constitutively active acetylcholine sensitive inward rectifier potassium current (IKACh). Moreover, blocking this abnormal current in the old heart prevents AF inducibility. Our studies demonstrate that in the aging heart, IKACh is constitutively active in a PKC epsilon dependent manner, contributing to the perpetuation of AF

Polygenic architecture informs potential vulnerability to drug-induced liver injury

Project description:Drug-Induced-Liver-Injury (DILI) is a leading cause of termination in drug development programs and removal of drugs from the market because of inability to identify potential patients prior to clinical testing. Here, we approached a polygenic risk score (PRS) based strategy by aggregating effects of numerous genome-wide loci identified from previous large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The PRS predicted the susceptibility to DILI in patients in a clinical trial, and in multi-donor derived primary hepatocytes and stem cell-derived organoids. Pathway analysis highlighted processes previously implicated in DILI, including unfolded protein responses and oxidative stress alleviated by a potent antioxidant. Furthermore, hepatocytic transcriptomic signatures related to polygenic score identified potential drugs with clinical DILI evidence through in silico 941 compound screening. This genetic-, cellular-, organoid- and human-scale evidence underscored the polygenic architectures underlying DILI vulnerability at the level of hepatocytes, thus facilitating future mechanistic studies. Moreover, the proposed “polygenicity-in-a-dish” strategy potentially will contribute to prospective designs of safer, more efficient, and robust clinical trials.

The integrative regulatory network of circRNA, microRNA and mRNA in atrial fibrillation

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common irregular heart rhythm which influence approximately 1–2% of the general population. As a potential factor for ischemic stroke, AF could also cause heart failure. The mechanisms behind AF pathogenesis are complex and remains elusive. As a new category of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been known as the key of developmental processes, regulation of cell function, pathogenesis of heart diseases and pathological responses which could provide novel sight into the pathogenesis of AF. circRNAs function as modulators of microRNAs in cardiac disease. To investigate the regulatory mechanism of circRNA in atrial fibrillation, especially the complex interactions among circRNA, microRNA and mRNA, we collected the heart tissues from three AF patients and three healthy controls and profiled their circRNA expressions with circRNA Microarray. The differentially expressed circRNAs were identified and the biological functions of their interaction microRNAs and mRNAs were analyzed. Our results provided novel insights of the circRNA roles in atrial fibrillation and proposed highly possible interaction mechanisms among circRNAs, microRNAs and mRNAs.

Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis in permanent atrial fibrillation

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia with increased risk of stroke and congestive heart failure. AF is a highly genetic heterogeneous disease, but a large proportion of AF cannot be explained by genetic variants only. Some risk factors of AF, tendentious heritable phenomenon, potentially reversible conditions and some subtypes without DNA sequence variation all indicate the participation of DNA methylation in the pathogenesis of AF. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 11 left atrium samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip GPL13534

Abnormalities of cellular polarity underlie the primary substrate in a genetic form of atrial fibrillation

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinical arrhythmia and is associated with heart failure and stroke. The primary substrate for AF is poorly understood due to limited access to primary human tissue and the lack of mechanistically faithful in vitro or in vivo models. We used an MYH6:mCherry knock-in reporter line to generate and purify human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes displaying electrophysiological and molecular characteristics of atrial cells (hPSC-atrial cells). We modeled human MYL4 mutants, one of the few definitive genetic causes of AF. Single cell transcriptomics on hPSC-atrial cells (WT and MYL4 mutant) was performed to study changes in gene expression among the cell types that exist in atrial lineage.

Loss of the Atrial Fibrillation-related gene, Zfhx3, Results in Atrial Dilation and Arrhythmias by Disruption of Genes Essential for Cardiovascular Homeostasis

Project description:Background: ZFHX3, a gene that encodes a large transcription factor, is the second-most significantly associated locus with AF, but its function in the heart is unknown. This study aims to identify causative genetic variation related to AF at the ZFHX3 locus and examine the impact of Zfhx3 loss on cardiac function in mice. Methods: CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and luciferase assays in pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes were used to identify causative genetic variation related to AF at the ZFHX3 locus. Cardiac function was assessed by echocardiography, MRI, electrophysiology studies, calcium imaging, and RNA sequencing in mice with heterozygous and homozygous cardiomyocyte-restricted Zfhx3 deletion (Zfhx3 Het and KO, respectively). Human cardiac single-nucleus ATAC-sequencing data was analyzed to determine which genes in atrial cardiomyocytes are directly regulated by ZFHX3. Results: We found SNP rs12931021 modulates an enhancer regulating ZFHX3 expression, and the AF risk allele is associated with decreased ZFHX3 transcription. We observed a gene-dose response in AF susceptibility withZfhx3KO mice having higher incidence, frequency, and burden of AF thanZfhx3Het and WT mice, with alterations in conduction velocity, atrial action potential duration, calcium handling and the development of atrial enlargement and thrombus, and dilated cardiomyopathy. Zfhx3 loss results in atrial-specific differential effects on genes and signaling pathways involved in cardiac pathophysiology and AF. Conclusions: Our findings implicate ZFHX3 as the causative gene at the 16q22 locus for AF, and cardiac abnormalities caused by loss of cardiac Zfhx3 are due to atrial-specific dysregulation of pathways involved in AF-susceptibility. Together, these data reveal a novel and important role for Zfhx3 in the control of cardiac genes and signaling pathways essential for normal atrial function.
