The Key Genes Underlying Pathophysiology Correlation Between the Acute Myocardial Infarction and COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Accumulating evidences disclose that COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has a marked effect on acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Nevertheless, the underlying pathophysiology correlation between the AMI and COVID-19 remains vague.

Materials and methods

Bioinformatics analyses of the altered transcriptional profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in patients with AMI and COVID-19 were implemented, including identification of differentially expressed genes and common genes between AMI and COVID-19, protein-protein interactions, Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses, TF-genes and miRNA coregulatory networks, to explore their biological functions and potential roles in the pathogenesis of COVID-19-related AMI.

Conclusion

Our bioinformatic analyses of gene expression profiling of PBMCs in patients with AMI and COVID-19 provide us with a unique view regarding underlying pathophysiology correlation between the two vital diseases.

Project description:Young patients with type 2 diabetes and myocardial infarction (MI) have higher long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. In addition, the observed increased, mildly abnormal baseline lipid levels, but not lipid variability, are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events, particularly MI. This study investigated differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which might be potential targets for young patients with MI and a high-fat diet (HFD). GSE114695 and GSE69187 were downloaded and processed using the limma package. A Venn diagram was applied to identify the same DEGs, and further pathway analysis was performed using Metascape. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis was then applied, and the hub genes were screened out. Pivotal miRNAs were predicted and validated using the miRNA dataset in GSE114695. To investigate the cardiac function of the screened genes, an MI mouse model, echocardiogram, and ELISA of hub genes were applied, and a correlation analysis was also performed. From aged mice fed HFD, 138 DEGs were extracted. From aged mice fed with chow, 227 DEGs were extracted. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs in aging mice fed HFD were enriched in lipid transport and lipid biosynthetic process 1 d after MI and in the MAPK signaling pathway at 1 w after MI, suggesting that HFD has less effect on aging with MI. A total of 148 DEGs were extracted from the intersection between plaques fed with HFD and chow in young mice and MI_1d, respectively, which demonstrated increased inflammatory and adaptive immune responses, in addition to myeloid leukocyte activation. A total of 183 DEGs were screened out between plaques fed with HFD vs. chow in young mice and MI_1w, respectively, which were mainly enriched in inflammatory response, cytokine production, and myeloid leukocyte activation. After validation, PAK3, CD44, CD5, SOCS3, VAV1, and PIK3CD were demonstrated to be negatively correlated with LVEF; however, P2RY1 was demonstrated to be positively correlated. This study demonstrated that the screened hub genes may be therapeutic targets for treating STEMI patients and preventing MI recurrence, especially in young MI patients with HFD or diabetes.

Project description:BackgroundAcute myocardial infarction (AMI) is regarded as an urgent clinical entity, and identification of differentially expressed genes, lncRNAs, and altered pathways shall provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms behind AMI.Materials and methodsMicroarray data was collected to identify key genes and lncRNAs involved in AMI pathogenesis. The differential expression analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were employed to identify the upregulated and downregulated genes and pathways in AMI. The protein-protein interaction network and protein-RNA interaction analysis were utilized to reveal key long noncoding RNAs.ResultsIn the present study, we utilized gene expression profiles of circulating endothelial cells (CEC) from 49 patients of AMI and 50 controls and identified a total of 552 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Based on these DEGs, we also observed that inflammatory response-related genes and pathways were highly upregulated in AMI. Mapping the DEGs to the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and identifying the subnetworks, we found that OMD and WDFY3 were the hub nodes of two subnetworks with the highest connectivity, which were found to be involved in circadian rhythm and organ- or tissue-specific immune response. Furthermore, 23 lncRNAs were differentially expressed between AMI and control groups. Specifically, we identified some functional lncRNAs, including XIST and its antisense RNA, TSIX, and three lncRNAs (LINC00528, LINC00936, and LINC01001), which were predicted to be interacting with TLR2 and participate in Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. In addition, we also employed the MMPC algorithm to identify six gene signatures for AMI diagnosis. Particularly, the multivariable SVM model based on the six genes has achieved a satisfying performance (AUC = 0.97).ConclusionIn conclusion, we have identified key regulatory lncRNAs implicated in AMI, which not only deepens our understanding of the lncRNA-related molecular mechanism of AMI but also provides computationally predicted regulatory lncRNAs for AMI researchers.
