Energy Metabolites as Biomarkers in Ischemic and Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT: With more than 25 million people affected, heart failure (HF) is a global threat. As energy production pathways are known to play a pivotal role in HF, we sought here to identify key metabolic changes in ischemic- and non-ischemic HF by using a multi-OMICS approach. Serum metabolites and mRNAseq and epigenetic DNA methylation profiles were analyzed from blood and left ventricular heart biopsy specimens of the same individuals. In total we collected serum from n = 82 patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) and n = 51 controls in the screening stage. We identified several metabolites involved in glycolysis and citric acid cycle to be elevated up to 5.7-fold in DCM (p = 1.7 × 10^-6). Interestingly, cardiac mRNA and epigenetic changes of genes encoding rate-limiting enzymes of these pathways could also be found and validated in our second stage of metabolite assessment in n = 52 DCM, n = 39 ischemic HF and n = 57 controls. In conclusion, we identified a new set of metabolomic biomarkers for HF. We were able to identify underlying biological cascades that potentially represent suitable intervention targets.

Project description:Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the third most common cause of heart failure. The multidisciplinary nature of testing - involving genetics, imaging, or cardiovascular techniques - makes its diagnosis challenging. Novel and reliable biomarkers are needed for early identification and tailored personalized management. Peripheral circular RNAs (circRNAs), a leading research topic, remain mostly unexplored in DCM. We aimed to assess whether peripheral circRNAs are expressed differentially among etiology-based DCM. The study was based on a case-control multicentric study. We enrolled 130 subjects: healthy controls (n = 20), idiopathic DCM (n = 30), ischemic DCM (n = 20), and familial DCM patients which included pathogen variants of (i) LMNA gene (n = 30) and (ii) BCL2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) gene (n = 30). Differentially expressed circRNAs were analyzed in plasma samples by quantitative RT-PCR and correlated to relevant systolic and diastolic parameters. The pathophysiological implications were explored through bioinformatics tools. Four circRNAs were overexpressed compared to controls: hsa_circ_0003258, hsa_circ_0051238, and hsa_circ_0051239 in LMNA-related DCM and hsa_circ_0089762 in the ischemic DCM cohort. The obtained areas under the curve confirm the discriminative capacity of circRNAs. The circRNAs correlated with some diastolic and systolic echocardiographic parameters with notable diagnostic potential in DCM. Circulating circRNAs may be helpful for the etiology-based diagnosis of DCM as a non-invasive biomarker. KEY MESSAGES: The limitations of cardiac diagnostic imaging and the absence of a robust biomarker reveal the need for a diagnostic tool for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The circular RNA (circRNA) expression pattern is paramount for categorizing the DCM etiologies. Our peripheral circRNAs fingerprint discriminates between various among etiology-based DCM and correlates with some echocardiographic parameters. We provide a potential non-invasive biomarker for the etiology-based diagnosis of LMNA-related DCM and ischemic DCM.

Project description:BackgroundIschemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) have similar clinical manifestations but differ in pathogenesis. We aimed to identify T cell-associated serum markers that can be used to distinguish between ICM and DCM.MethodsWe identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with transcriptome sequencing data in GSE116250, and then conducted enrichment analysis of DEGs in the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were used to analyze the relationship between T cells-related genes and identify hub genes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were used to detect T cell-associated proteins in serum, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of these serum markers.ResultsUsing the limma package and Venn plots, we found that the non-failing donors (NFD) and DCM groups shared many of the same DEGs and DEGs-enriched functions compared to the ICM group, which were involved in T cell activation and differentiation, among other functions. Subsequently, the immune cell score showed no difference between NFD and DCM, but they were significantly different from ICM patients in CD8 T cells CD4 T cells memory resting and activated, T cells follicular helper, and M1 macrophage. After analyzing T cell-associated DEGs, it was found that 4 DEGs encoding secreted proteins were highly expressed in the ICM group compared with the NFD and DCM groups, namely chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 21 (CCL21), interleukin (IL)-1β, lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG3), and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). Importantly, the serum levels of CCL21, IL-1β, LAG3, and VCAM-1 in ICM patients were all significantly higher than those in DCM patients. The ROC curves showed that the area under the curve (AUC) values of serum CCL21, IL-1β, LAG3, and VCAM-1 were 0.775, 0.868, 0.934, and 0.903, respectively.ConclusionsWe have identified four T cell-associated serum markers, CCL21, IL-1β, LAG3, and VCAM-1, as potential diagnostic serum markers that differentiate ICM from DCM.

Project description:Heart failure (HF) is a worldwide pandemic with an unacceptable high level of morbidity and mortality. Understanding the different pathophysiological mechanisms will contribute to prevention and individualized therapy of HF. We established mouse models for ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) by inducing myocardial infarction (MI) and Coxsackievirus B3 infection, respectively. Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation and liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry technology was used to identify the protein expression profiles in control and failing hearts. A total of 1,638 proteins were identified and compared in this proteomics analysis. Among them, 286 proteins were differently expressed. Gene ontology, KEGG pathway and ingenuity pathway analysis was performed to systematically assess the potential connections of the differentially expressed proteins to biological functions. Compared with control group, the differentially expressed proteins derived from the hearts of ICM and DCM mice were partially similar and mainly modulated in oxidative phosphorylation, metabolism and protein folding pathways. Moreover, difference still existed, the differentially expressed proteins between DCM and ICM hearts were significantly modulated in oxidative phosphorylation, metabolic and AMPK signaling pathways. Confirmatory western bolt analysis demonstrated that SDHB was down-regulated in both ICM and DCM hearts, while UQCRQ, GLUT4 and adiponectin were up-regulated in ICM hearts. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration significantly decreased in both DCM and ICM hearts. The protein expression of phospho-AMPKα decreased significantly in DCM hearts, but increased in ICM. In summary, oxidative phosphorylation, cardiac metabolism, and protein folding play critical roles in the pathogenesis of HF. The diverse changes in protein expression profiles between failing hearts induced by either MI or CVB3 infection demonstrated the heterogeneity of HF. Understanding the differences in proteome profiles could offer more precise therapeutic options for HF.
