Project description:Background. In experimental setting the concept of myocardial preconditioning-by hyperoxia has been introduced and different intracellular protective mechanisms and their effects have been described. To study whether similar protective phenotype can be induced by hyperoxia also in humans, gene expression profile after hyperoxic exposure was analyzed. Methods and Findings. Adult patients were randomized to be ventilated with either FiO2 0.4 (n=14) or 1.0 (n=10) for 60 minutes before coronary artery bypass grafting. A tissue sample from the right atrial appendage was taken for gene analysis and expression profile analysis on genome wide level by gene chip analysis was applied. Exposure to > 96% oxygen for 60 minutes significantly changed the expression of 20 different genes, including upregulation of two different humanins - MTRNR2L2 and MTRNR2L8, and activated a “cell survival” network as detected by Ingenuity Pathway Analyses. Conclusions. Administration of > 96% oxygen for 1 hour changes gene expression in the myocardium of the patients with coronary artery disease and may enhance cell survival capability. Background.

Project description:Myocardial left ventricular biopsies from male patients (n=6) with isolated aortic stenosis and pronounced left ventricular hypertrophy undergoing aortic valve replacement were harvested either from hearts with normal ejection fraction (EF,>50%) or with low EF (<30%). Biopsies were further obtained from non-hypertrophied hearts with normal EF (>60%) from coronary artery disease patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (n=3). Total RNA isolated from biopsies was analyzed using Affymetrix HG-U133A and U133B GeneChip sets.
Project description:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. We aimed to compare expression of miRNA in the affected artery of acute myocardial infarction (ST-elevation myocardial infarction) male patients versus healthy individuals (control). Blood samples were collected during coronary catheterization from proximal culprit coronary arteries aimed for the interventions or from a random artery in control samples. RNA isolated from serum was used for miRNA high throughput sequencing.
Project description:19 paired human left ventricular apex samples were harvested at the time of implant of a left ventricular assist device (PRE) and at the time of explant (POST). The cohort included patients that were clinically classified as ischemic (I) showing evidence of coronary artery disease, non-ischemic (N) no evidence of coronary artery disease or acute Myocardial infarction (IM) myocardial infarction within 10 days of the implant. Tissue was processed and hybridized to the Affymetrix HG-U133A chip.

The cohort included patients that were clinically classified as "ischemic" (I) showing evidence of coronary artery disease, "non-ischemic" (N) no evidence of coronary artery disease or "acute Myocardial infarction" (IM) myocardial infarction within 10 days of the implant.

Project description:To investigate changes in cardiac transcription profiles caused by on-pump cardiac surgery, we collected myocardial samples, prior and after grafting, from patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac arrest. The transcriptional profile of the mRNA in these samples was measured with gene array technology. Changes in transcriptional profiles can be correlated with the stress response of heart to surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac arrest. Keywords: human, cardiac, CABG coronary surgery, gene expression, cardiopulmonary bypass. Myocardial samples were collected, prior and after grafting, from patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac arrest.
Project description:To investigate the therapeutic effect of Guanxinning injection (GXNI) on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) mice, we established MIRI model by ligating the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery of mice for 30 minutes and then reperfusion for 24 hours. We then performed RNA-seq on myocardial tissue of mice in the sham group, MIRI group and GXNI treatment group.
Project description:Endothelial cells were isolated from the infarct region (anteroapical wall distal to the coronary artery ligation site representing the infarct core and border zone) 3 days after sham or acute myocardial infarction (AMI) surgery. AMI was induced by 60 min coronary ligation followed by reperfusion. Endothelial cells were subjected to single cell RNA sequencing.
