Region-specific gene expression profiles in left atria of patients with valvular atrial fibrillation

ABSTRACT: Of 54,675 expressed sequence tags, microarray analysis revealed that 391 genes were differently expressed (>1.5-fold difference) between LA-PV junction and LAA, including genes related to arrhythmia, cell death, fibrosis, hypertrophy, and inflammation. Microarray and q-PCR produced parallel results in analyzing the expression of particular genes. The expression of paired like homeodomain-2 (PITX2) and its target protein (short stature homeobox-2 [SHOX2]) was greater in LA-PV junction than in LAA, which may contribute to arrhythmogenesis. Five genes related to thrombogenesis were up-regulated in LAA, which may implicate for the preferential thrombus formation in LAA. Genes related to fibrosis were highly expressed in LAA, which was reflected by intense ultrastructural changes in this region

Project description:Purpose: This study aimed to explore the differential expression profiles of exosomal lncRNAs and evaluated their potential utility in the accurate diagnosis of LAA stroke. Methods: LncRNA profiles of exosomes in large artery atherosclerosis stroke and controls were generated by high-throughput sequencing. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with Hisat2, Trapnell, STAR. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Results: A total of 1020 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified in LAA stroke patients. GO and KEGG pathway analyses indicated that their target genes are involved in atherosclerosis-related pathways, including inflammation, cell adhesion, and cell migration. 8 exosomal lncRNAs were confirmed with qRT–PCR.The result showed that the expression trend of differential expressed lncRNAs in validation was consistent with RNA-seq.Conclusion: Our study showed the differential expression of lncRNAs in plasma exosomes and presented related diagnostic potential for LAA stroke for the first time. The results suggested that exosomal lncRNA could be potential diagnostic tools in LAA stroke. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), novel endogenous noncoding RNAs, play diverse roles in ischemic stroke. Recently, the abundance and stability of circRNAs in exosomes have been identified. However, a comprehensive analysis of exosomal circRNAs in large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke has not yet been reported. We performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to comprehensively identify differentially expressed exosomal circRNAs in five paired LAA and normal controls. RNA-Seq identified a total of 462 circRNAs in peripheral exosomes; there were 25 differentially expressed circRNAs among them. Additionally, circRNA competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and translatable analysis revealed the potential functions of the exosomal circRNAs in LAA progression. Two ceRNA pathways involving 5 circRNAs, 2 miRNAs, and 3 mRNAs were confirmed by qRT-PCR. In the validation cohort, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis identified two circRNAs as possible novel biomarkers, and a logistic model combining two and four circRNAs increased the area under the curve compared with the individual circRNAs.
