Project description:Comparison of both LncRNAs and mRNAs expression in the border zone of the myocardial infarction rats and the sham operation rats Border zone (BZ) of the myocardial infarction is critical to patients. Current treatments of myocardial infarction are primarily aimed to save the dying myocardial cell in the border zone. During myocardial infarction, certain changes in BZ, e.g, apoptosis, fibrosis, inflammation, etc, played an important role in deciding the survival. Impairment and recovery of BZ has been linked to gene expression changes. The aim of our study was to obtain a global expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs of the border zone in Wistar rats myocardial infarction, and identify the changes during myocardial infarction.
Project description:Purpose:Detection of differentially expressed lncRNA in the infarct zone and the control group in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model tissue. Method: Use 8 weeks of C57BL/6 mice to establish a myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model, 45 minutes of ischemia, and 24 hours after reperfusion, the mice were sacrificed to obtain materials. Result: The expression of lncRNAs in the infarct area of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model mice was detected, and it was found that a total of 43 lncRNAs related to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury changed in expression, of which 17 were up-regulated (fold change >1.5). 26 expressions are down-regulated (fold change <0.8)
Project description:The underlying mechanisms of ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) remain largely unknown. Here, we performed an integrative analysis of spatial transcriptomics and single-nucleus RNA-seq in a murine MI model and found that mechanical stress-response genes are expressed at the border zone and play a critical role in left ventricular remodeling following MI. An integrative analysis of single-nucleus RNA-seq and spatial transcriptome of the heart tissue after MI identified the unique cluster that appeared at the border zone in an early stage, highly expressing mechano-sensing genes such as Csrp3. AAV9-mediated gene silencing and overexpression of Csrp3 demonstrated that upregulation of Csrp3 plays critical roles in preventing cardiac remodeling after MI via regulation of genes associated with mechano-sensing. Overall, our study not only provides an insight into spatiotemporal molecular changes following MI but also highlights that the mechano-sensing genes at the border zone act as adaptive regulators of left ventricular remodeling.
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.
