Integrated Systems Biology Identifies Disruptions in Mitochondrial Function and Metabolism as Key Contributors to HFpEF

ABSTRACT: HFpEF accounts for ∼50% of HF cases. The ZSF1-obese rat model recapitulates clinical features of HFpEF including hypertension, obesity, metabolic syndrome, exercise intolerance, and diastolic dysfunction. Here, we used a systems biology approach to define the metabolic and transcriptional signatures to gain mechanistic insight into pathways contributing to HFpEF development. The integrated omics approach applied here provides a framework to uncover novel genes, metabolites, and pathways underlying HFpEF, with an emphasis on mitochondrial energy metabolism as a potential interventional target.
