Project description:The objective of this study was to identify genes differentially expressed between calcified bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) and tricuspid valves with (TAVc) and without (TAVn) aortic valve stenosis. Ten human BAV and nine TAVc were collected from male who underwent primary aortic valve replacement. Eight TAVn were obtained from male who underwent heart transplantation. mRNA levels were measured using Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip and compared between valve groups.

Project description:Purpose: Calcific aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a fatal disease with currently no medical therapy. Some genes were associated with AS, but the genetic architecture of the disease has yet to be discovered. The objective of this study was to combine genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and gene expression in human valve tissues to identify new susceptibility genes of AS. Methods: A meta-analysis was performed combining the results of two independent GWAS in 474 patients that underwent aortic valve replacement from Quebec city and 486 echocardiography cases from France. The controls consisted of 3,151 publically available individuals of European ancestry. Sixty-nine SNPs selected from the meta-analysis (p < 1 x 10-4) were followed-up for replication in a third cohort of 395 cases and 404 controls. Single marker and gene set association analyses were performed. The mRNA expression levels of susceptibility genes were evaluated in 19 human aortic valves with (n=9) and without (n=10) AS by RNA sequencing. Results: Single marker analysis identified 15 SNPs with p values lower than 1 x 10-6 in the meta-analysis near the FAR2 gene on chromosome 12. At the replication stage, none of these SNPs were confirmed and three other SNPs on chromosomes 2 and 5 reached p < 0.05. Gene set analysis revealed more meaningful association with the calcium signaling pathway enriched for genes mapped to disease-associated SNPs. Genes in this pathway including F2R, GNA14, HTR4, P2RX6, and TNNC1 were found differentially expressed in valves with and without AS. Conclusions: This integrative genomic study identified new AS susceptibility genes expressed in human valve tissue. Moderate but coordinated genetic association and expression patterns were observed for genes implicated in the calcium signaling pathway and may provide new therapeutic targets to treat this frequent and rising life-threatening disease. Samples of aortic valves were collected from 19 male patients undergoing aortic valve replacement surgery. RNA sequencing was performed using the Illumina Hiseq 2000. Three pairwise comparison among the two kind of valves were made.

Project description:Purpose: The molecular mechanisms leading to premature development of aortic valve stenosis (AS) in individuals with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) are unknown. The objective of this study was to identify genes differentially expressed between calcified BAV and tricuspid valves with (TAVc) and without (TAVn) calcification using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Methods: Ten human calcified BAV and nine TAVc were collected from men who underwent aortic valve replacement. Eight TAVn were obtained from men who underwent heart transplantation. mRNA levels were measured using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 system. Reads were aligned with TopHat. Cuffdiff, DESeq, edgeR, and SAMSeq were used to compare gene expression. Genes with adjusted P < 0.05 in the four methods were called differentially expressed. Pathway analysis was performed with IPA. Results: Two genes were up-regulated and none were down-regulated in BAV compared to TAVc. There were 462 genes up-regulated and 282 down-regulated in BAV compared to TAVn. Compared to TAVn, 329 genes were up- and 170 were down-regulated in TAVc. Conclusions: This is the first transcriptome study on calcified and normal aortic valves using RNA-Seq. BAV and TAVc have a highly similar expression profile. These results contribute to our molecular understanding of AS and the identification of new therapeutic targets that are urgently needed to prevent, slow the development or treat AS in patients with bicuspid and tricuspid valves.

Project description:Mitral and tricuspid valves are essential for unidirectional blood flow in the heart. They are derived from similar cell sources, and yet congenital dysplasia affecting both valves is clinically rare, suggesting the presence of differential regulatory mechanisms underlying their development. We specifically inactivated Dicer1 in the endocardium during cardiogenesis and found that Dicer1-deletion caused congenital mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation, while it had no impact on other valves. We showed that hyperplastic mitral valves were caused by abnormal condensation and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Our single-cell RNA Sequencing analysis revealed impaired maturation of mesenchymal cells and abnormal expression of ECM genes in mutant mitral valves. Furthermore, expression of a set of miRNAs that target ECM genes was significantly lower in tricuspid valves compared to mitral valves, consistent with the idea that the miRNAs are differentially required for mitral and tricuspid valve development. We thus reveal miRNA-mediated gene regulation as a novel molecular mechanism that differentially regulates mitral and tricuspid valve development, thereby enhancing our understanding of the non-association of inborn mitral and tricuspid dysplasia observed clinically.

Project description:Aortic valves are collected from patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing aortic valve replacement at the Institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec (IUCPQ), Quebec City, Canada. From this biobank collection, transcriptomic analyses from 240 aortic valves were performed. All valves were tricuspid and had a fibro-calcific remodeling score of 3 or 4. RNA was extracted from valve leaflets and gene expression evaluated using the Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip. The main objective of this study was to perform a large-scale expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) mapping study on human aortic valves.

Project description:In order to analyze molecular changes in response to endothelial injury, the aortic valve in wild type mice was injured by inserting a thin anigoplasty guidewire into the mouse carotid artery and advancing the wire through the aortic valve opening. This procedure produced damage to the layer of valve endothelial cells surroung the outer edge of the valve leaflet. Sham surgery consisted of the same wire insertion prcoedure but the wire was not advanced to the level of the valve. The surgical procedure was performed in young (3-4 month old) and aging (16-18 month old) mice. Individual sham and injured aortic valves were collected 48 hours after surgery and submitted for sequencing (one valve per biological replicate).
