Project description:Inherited Variant in MRC2 Causes Cardiac Fibroblast Dysfunction and Increases Atrial Fibrillation Susceptibility [fibroblast]

Project description:Background. A recent study identified a rare variant in the MRC2 gene in individuals with familial reentrant supraventricular tachycardia, a Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) ECG pattern, and structurally normal hearts. WPW syndrome is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), and MRC2 was recently proposed as a protective gene for AF. Objective. We aimed to determine whether the E990G-heterozygous (het) loss-of-function variant in MRC2 increases AF susceptibility and aberrant atrial cardiofibroblast (ACF) function in mice. Methods. Programmed electrical stimulation (PES) was performed to determine AF susceptibility in E990G-het mice and wild-type (WT) controls. ACFs were isolated from these mice and cultured, and their migration, and collagen deposition were quantified. Finally, transcriptomic profiling by RNA sequencing and secretomic/proteomic profiling by mass spectrometry were performed on ACFs and whole atrial tissue. Results. E990G-het mice exhibited increased susceptibility to pacing-induced AF and had decreased atrioventricular effective refractory periods compared to WT controls. ACFs isolated from E990G-het mice deposited greater amounts of acid-soluble collagen in 2D cultures as quantified by Sirius red staining compared with WT controls. Transcriptomic, secretomic, and proteomic profiling of cultured ACFs and whole-atrial tissue suggest that some fibrotic regulators are differentially expressed or secreted, including decreased ACF expression of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13), which degrades collagen types I, II, and III; decreased ACF expression, ACF secretion, and atrial tissue levels of matrix metalloproteinase 12 (MMP-12), which degrades collagen types I, III, IV, elastin, and fibronectin; and increased tissue levels of cellular communication network factor 2/connective tissue growth factor (CCN2/CTGF), a profibrotic regulator. Conclusions. MRC2 E990G-het mice exhibit increased AF susceptibility, altered collagen deposition by ACFs, and differentially regulated fibrotic genes and proteins. Together, these findings suggest that excessive collagen deposition and reduced MMP-mediated collagen removal generate a substrate for the development of AF in the presence of a loss-of-function variant in MRC2.

Project description:This study will report the incidence of atrial fibrillation after elective colorectal cancer resection in the over 65 age group. This will be used to validate a risk model for the development of post-operative atrial fibrillation.
Eligible patients will undergo electrocardiogram based screening for atrial fibrillation, as well as brain natriuretic peptide tests prior to surgery. They will undergo 24 hour holter monitor prior to surgery, and at 30 and 90 days following surgery.
The primary outcome will be occurrence of atrial fibrillation within 90 days of surgery. Secondary outcomes include quality of life change, use of hospital services for atrial fibrillation, and complications of atrial fibrillation. This will be used to validate the pre-existing model for prediction of atrial fibrillation.

Project description:Regional differential expression of atrial fibrillation risk genes in the left atrium and pulmonary veins is not well studied, but may yield insights into atrial fibrillation pathogenesis. We tested the hypothesis that there is significant regional differential expression in left atrium structures. RNAseq was performed in 25 regions within the pulmonary veins (n=12), left atrial body (n=10), and left atrial appendage (n=3) from a 75 year old male with hypertension and atrial fibrillation who died of a stroke. These data show that genes involved in atrial fibrillation pathogenesis have substantial regional expression heterogeneity, particularly when comparing the left atrial body, pulmonary veins and left atrial appendage.

Project description:Obesity is linked to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) via increased oxidative stress. While NADPH oxidase II (NOX2), a major source of oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the heart predisposes to AF, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we studied NOX2-mediated ROS production in obesity-mediated AF using Nox2-knock-out (KO) mice and mature human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived atrial cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-aCMs). Diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice and hiPSC-aCMs treated with palmitic acid (PA) were infused with a NOX blocker (apocynin) and a NOX2-specific inhibitor, respectively. We showed that NOX2 inhibition normalized atrial action potential duration and abrogated obesity-mediated ion channel remodeling with reduced AF burden. Unbiased transcriptomics analysis revealed that NOX2 mediates atrial remodeling in obesity-mediated AF in DIO mice, PA-treated hiPSC-aCMs, and human atrial tissue from obese individuals by upregulation of paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 (PITX2). Furthermore, hiPSC-aCMs treated with hydrogen peroxide, a NOX2 surrogate, displayed increased PITX2 expression, establishing a mechanistic link between increased NOX2-mediated ROS production and modulation of PITX2. Our findings offer insights into possible mechanisms through which obesity triggers AF and support NOX2 inhibition as a potential novel prophylactic or adjunctive therapy for patients with obesity-mediated AF.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart arrhythmia disease. The greatest risk of atrial fibrillation is stroke, and stroke caused by valvular heart disease with atrial fibrillation (AF-VHD) is more serious. the development mechanism from VHD to AF-VHD is not yet clear. The research on expression profiles of lncRNA and mRNA is helpful to explore molecular mechanism in patients with valvular heart disease who develop atrial fibrillation.
