Project description:Vascular calcification contributes to high cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. An association between the uremic toxins indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (PCS) and cardiovascular disease has been suggested. This study provides strong etiological evidence for indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate as major contributors to vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease patients. Continuous exposure to indoxyl sulfate or p-cresyl sulfate in rats with chronic kidney disease promotes moderate to severe calcification in the aorta and peripheral vessels. Unbiased proteomic analyses of arterial samples coupled to functional bioinformatics annotation analysis revealed that calcification events were associated with acute phase response signaling, coagulation and glucometabolic signaling pathways, while escape from toxin-induced calcification was linked with liver X receptors and farnesoid X/liver X receptor signaling pathways. Activation of inflammation and coagulation pathways in the arterial wall plays a pivotal role in toxin-induced calcification and strongly associates with hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. These findings reveal new perspectives to establish novel therapeutic targets to prevent, halt progression or cure vascular calcification.
Project description:Background: Chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complication associated with the dilated atria of patients with valvular heart disease and contributes to worsened pathology. Methods and Results: Using microarray technology, we examined microRNA (miR) expression profiles in right and left atrial appendage tissue from valvular heart disease (VHD) patients. Right atrial appendage from patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and left atrial (LA) appendage from healthy hearts not used for transplant were used as controls. VHD induced different changes in miR expression in LA compared with right atria (RA). Fifty-two (52) miRs were altered by VHD in LA, compared with 5 in RA tissue. There was no detectable effect of chronic AF on miR expression in LA tissue, but miR expression in RA was strongly influenced by AF, with 47 miRs showing differential expression. LA volume correlated with miR expression changes in both LA and RA, but the affected miRs were different for the two atrial groups. Conclusions: VHD and AF influence miR expression patterns in LA and RA, but these are affected differently by disease progression and by the development of AF. These findings provide new insights into the progression of VHD. RA tissue is not a useful surrogate for LA in studies of mitral valve disease. 34 arrays from either the left or right atrium from patients with Valvular Heart Disease (VHD), patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), or healthy controls. Arrays in this series were generated on V2 and V3 Agilent microRNA arrays and analysed in combination.
Project description:Peripheral blood RNA-Seq from human coronary artery calcification cases and controls; Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a heritable and definitive morphologic marker of atherosclerosis that strongly predicts risk for future cardiovascular events. To search for genes involved in CAC, we used an integrative transcriptomic, genomic, and protein expression strategy using next-generation DNA sequencing in the discovery phase with follow-up studies using traditional molecular biology and histopathology techniques.
