Project description:We report transcriptional profiles of aortic valve tissue from calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) and normal control (non-CAVD). We collected the aortic valve tissues from five patients with CAVD who underwent aortic valve replacement due to severe aortic valve stenosis. Aortic valve samples from patients with non-calcified aortic valve resection due to heart transplantation (recipient heart) or aortic dissection were collected as the control (non-CAVD). The inclusion criteria for CAVD group were as follows: 50-75 years old; undergoing aortic valve replacement due to severe AVS with significantly valvular calcification. The inclusion criteria for non-CAVD group were as follows: non-calcified aortic valve resection due to heart transplantation (recipient heart) or aortic dissection. For each sample, total RNA was extracted, a cDNA library was generated, and an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 was used to sequence each sample. Stringtie software was used to count the fragment within each gene, and TMM algorithm was used for normalization. Differential expression analysis was performed using R package edgeR. Differentially expressed RNAs with |log2(FC)| value >1, q value [false discovery rate (FDR) adjusted P-value] <0.05, and one group’s mean fragments per kilobase of exon per million reads mapped (FPKM) >1, were assigned as differentially-expressed genes (DEGs).

Expression profiling of human foetal and adult aortic valves

Project description:Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a frequent congenital heart defect with a high heritability. Identification of genes associated with the disease and the molecular mechanisms required genetic studies including genome-wide association studies (GWAS) meta-analysis. To prioritize genes identified through such meta-analysis several additional data are required including transcriptomic of aortic valve at early fetal and adult stages. RNA-sequencing was carried out on human fœtal aortic valves at 9, 13, and 22 post conceptional week (PCW) and adult controls. These data were used to compare gene expression profile of several genes identified in a GWAS meta-analysis. Comparing the expression of these genes in valve RNA-sequencing dataset we identified several genes with higher expression in fœtal tissues suggesting their involvement in aortic valve development. In conclusion, we performed integrative analyses taking advantage of human aortic valve transcriptome data to prioritize candidate causal gene of BAV.

Exploring the expression pattern of circRNA in the aortic valve

Project description:Calcific Aortic Valve Disease (CAVD) is a common heart valve condition, often characterized by severe narrowing of the aortic valve. It lacks pharmaceutical treatments and typically requires aortic valve replacement surgery, imposing a significant burden on healthcare resources.This study reports the expression profile of circRNAs in the aortic valve tissues of CAVD patients and a normal control group (non-CAVD). We collected aortic valve tissue samples from three CAVD patients who underwent aortic valve replacement surgery due to severe aortic valve stenosis, as well as aortic valve samples from non-CAVD patients who either received heart transplant surgery (recipient heart) or had their aortic valve removed due to aortic dissection. Overall, our research reveals the significant role of circRNAs in the progression of CAVD. CircRNAs, a class of circular non-coding RNA molecules, are actively studied for their functions and regulatory mechanisms within cells. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying CAVD, particularly the potential involvement of circRNAs in this disease.

Microarray-based gene expression on human aortic valves

Project description:Calcified aortic valve leaflets (CAVs) were explanted from patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing aortic valve replacement at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Union Hospital, affiliated to Tongji Medical College. Control non-calcified aortic valves with normal echocardiographic analyses were obtained during heart transplant procedures. RNA was extracted from valve leaflets and gene expression evaluated using the Arraystar Human mRNA Array. This study aimed to perform the expression analysis of mRNA on human aortic valves.

DNA sequencing of human blood sample for Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential (CHIP) detection.

Project description:The present study aimed to gain insights into the pathological process of Calcific Aortic Valve Disease (CAVD) in CHIP carriers. To this end, we screened for CHIP, by DNA sequencing of blood samples, a cohort of 168 patients with calcified aortic stenosis who had undergone valve replacement via transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or surgically.
