Project description:Little is known about the right ventricular (RV) proteome in human heart failure (HF), including possible differences compared to the left ventricular (LV) proteome. We used 2-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis (pH: 4-7, 10-150 kDa), followed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, to compare the RV and LV proteomes in 12 explanted human hearts. We used Western blotting and multiple-reaction monitoring for protein verification and RNA sequencing for messenger RNA and protein expression correlation. In all 12 hearts, the right ventricles (RVs) demonstrated differential expression of 11 proteins relative to the left ventricles (LVs), including lesser expression of CRYM, TPM1, CLU, TXNL1, and COQ9 and greater expression of TNNI3, SAAI, ERP29, ACTN2, HSPB2, and NDUFS3. Principal-components analysis did not suggest RV-versus-LV proteome partitioning. In the nonischemic RVs (n = 6), 7 proteins were differentially expressed relative to the ischemic RVs (n = 6), including increased expression of CRYM, B7Z964, desmin, ANXA5, and MIME and decreased expression of SERPINA1 and ANT3. Principal-components analysis demonstrated partitioning of the nonischemic and ischemic RV proteomes, and gene ontology analysis identified differences in hemostasis and atherosclerosis-associated networks. There were no proteomic differences between RVs with echocardiographic dysfunction (n = 8) and those with normal function (n = 4). Messenger RNA and protein expression did not correlate consistently, suggesting a major role for RV posttranscriptional protein expression regulation. Differences in contractile, cytoskeletal, metabolic, signaling, and survival pathways exist between the RV and the LV in HF and may be related to the underlying HF etiology and differential posttranscriptional regulation.

Project description:BackgroundThe left and right ventricles of the human heart differ in embryology, shape, thickness, and function. Ventricular dyssynchrony often occurs in cases of heart failure. Our objectives were to assess whether differences in contractile properties exist between the left and right ventricles and to evaluate signs of left/right ventricular mechanical synchrony in isolated healthy and diseased human myocardium.MethodsMyocardial left and right ventricular trabeculae were dissected from nonfailing and end-stage failing human hearts. Baseline contractile force and contraction/relaxation kinetics of the left ventricle were compared to those of the right ventricle in the nonfailing group (n=41) and in the failing group (n=29). Correlation analysis was performed to assess the mechanical synchrony between left and right ventricular myocardium isolated from the same heart, in nonfailing (n=41) and failing hearts (n=29).ResultsThe failing right ventricular myocardium showed significantly higher developed force (Fdev; P=0.001; d=0.98), prolonged time to peak (P<0.001; d=1.14), and higher rate of force development (P=0.002; d=0.89) and force decline (P=0.003; d=0.82) compared to corresponding left ventricular myocardium. In healthy myocardium, a strong positive relationship was present between the left and right ventricles in time to peak (r=0.58, P<0.001) and maximal kinetic rate of contraction (r=0.63, P<0.001). These coefficients were much weaker, often nearly absent, in failing myocardium.ConclusionsAt the level of isolated cardiac trabeculae, contractile performance, specifically of contractile kinetics, is correlated in the nonfailing myocardium between the left and right ventricles' but this correlation is significantly weaker, or even absent, in end-stage heart failure, suggesting an interventricular mechanical dyssynchrony.

Project description:Combined pulmonary insufficiency (PI) and stenosis (PS) is a common long-term sequela after repair of many forms of congenital heart disease, causing progressive right ventricular (RV) dilation and failure. Little is known of the mechanisms underlying this combination of preload and afterload stressors. We developed a murine model of PI and PS (PI+PS) to identify clinically relevant pathways and biomarkers of disease progression. Diastolic dysfunction was induced (restrictive RV filling, elevated RV end-diastolic pressures) at 1 month after generation of PI+PS and progressed to systolic dysfunction (decreased RV shortening) by 3 months. RV fibrosis progressed from 1 month (4.4% ± 0.4%) to 3 months (9.2% ± 1%), along with TGF-β signaling and tissue expression of profibrotic miR-21. Although plasma miR-21 was upregulated with diastolic dysfunction, it was downregulated with the onset of systolic dysfunction), correlating with RV fibrosis. Plasma miR-21 in children with PI+PS followed a similar pattern. A model of combined RV volume and pressure overload recapitulates the evolution of RV failure unique to patients with prior RV outflow tract surgery. This progression was characterized by enhanced TGF-β and miR-21 signaling. miR-21 may serve as a plasma biomarker of RV failure, with decreased expression heralding the need for valve replacement.

Project description:Development of right ventricular (RV) hypertension eventually contributes to RV and left ventricular (LV) myocardial fibrosis and dysfunction. The molecular mechanisms are not fully elucidated.Pulmonary artery banding was used to induce RV hypertension in rats in vivo. Then, we evaluated cardiac function and regional remodeling 6 weeks after pulmonary artery banding. To further elucidate mechanisms responsible for regional cardiac remodeling, we also mimicked RV hypertensive stress by cyclic mechanical stretching applied to confluent cultures of cardiac fibroblasts, isolated from the RV free wall, septal hinge points, and LV free wall. Echocardiography and catheter evaluation demonstrated that rats in the pulmonary artery banding group developed RV hypertension with leftward septal displacement, LV compression, and increased LV end-diastolic pressures. Picrosirius red staining indicated that pulmonary artery banding induced marked RV fibrosis and dysfunction, with prominent fibrosis and elastin deposition at the septal hinge points but less LV fibrosis. These changes were associated with proportionally increased expressions of integrin-?1 and profibrotic signaling proteins, including phosphorylated Smad2/3 and transforming growth factor-?1. Moreover, mechanically stretched fibroblasts also expressed significantly increased levels of ?-smooth muscle actin, integrin-?1, transforming growth factor-?1, collagen I deposition, and wrinkle formation on gel assays, consistent with myofibroblast transformation. These changes were not observed in parallel cultures of mechanically stretched fibroblasts, preincubated with the integrin inhibitor (BTT-3033).Experimentally induced RV hypertension triggers regional RV, hinge-point, and LV integrin ?1-dependent mechanotransduction signaling pathways that eventually trigger myocardial fibrosis via transforming growth factor-?1 signaling. Reduced LV fibrosis and preserved global function, despite geometrical and pressure aberrations, suggest a possible elastin-mediated protective mechanism at the septal hinge points.

Project description:BackgroundDilation may be the first right ventricular change and accelerates the progression of threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias and heart failure for patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), but the treatment for right ventricular dilation remains limited.MethodsSingle-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of blood and biventricular myocardium from 8 study participants was performed, including 6 end-stage heart failure patients with ARVC and 2 normal controls. ScRNA-seq data was then deeply analyzed, including cluster annotation, cellular proportion calculation, and characterization of cellular developmental trajectories and interactions. An integrative analysis of our single-cell data and published genome-wide association study-based data provided insights into the cell-specific contributions to the cardiac arrhythmia phenotype of ARVC. Desmoglein 2 (Dsg2)mut/mut mice were used as the ARVC model to verify the therapeutic effects of pharmacological intervention on identified cellular cluster.ResultsRight ventricle of ARVC was enriched of CCL3+ proinflammatory macrophages and TNMD+ fibroblasts. Fibroblasts were preferentially affected in ARVC and perturbations associated with ARVC overlap with those reside in genetic variants associated with cardiac arrhythmia. Proinflammatory macrophages strongly interact with fibroblast. Pharmacological inhibition of Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), a transcriptional factor predominantly expressed by the CCL3+ proinflammatory macrophages and several other myeloid subclusters, could significantly alleviate right ventricular dilation and dysfunction in Dsg2mut/mut mice (an ARVC mouse model).ConclusionsThis study provided a comprehensive analysis of the lineage-specific changes in the blood and myocardium from ARVC patients at a single-cell resolution. Pharmacological inhibition of NLRP3 could prevent right ventricular dilation and dysfunction of mice with ARVC.

Project description:AimsWhile right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with worse prognosis in co-morbid pulmonary hypertension and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF), the mechanisms driving RV dysfunction are unclear. We evaluated the extent and clinical correlates of diffuse RV myocardial fibrosis in PH-HFpEF, as measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance-derived extracellular volume (ECV).Methods and resultsWe prospectively enrolled participants with PH-HFpEF (n = 14), pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH; n = 13), and controls (n = 8). All participants underwent high-resolution cardiovascular magnetic resonance, and case subjects (PH-HFpEF and PAH) additionally underwent right heart catheterization. T1 mapping was performed using high-resolution modified look-locker inversion recovery with a 1 × 1 mm2 in-plane resolution. RV free wall T1 values were quantified, and ECV was calculated. Participants with PH-HFpEF were older and carried higher rates of hypertension and obstructive sleep apnoea than those with PAH. While RV ECV was similar between PH-HFpEF and PAH (33.1 ± 8.0 vs. 34.0 ± 4.5%; P = 0.57), total pulmonary resistance was lower in PH-HFpEF compared with PAH [PH-HFpEF: 5.68 WU (4.70, 7.66 WU) vs. PAH: 8.59 WU (8.14, 12.57 WU); P = 0.01]. RV ECV in PH-HFpEF was associated with worse indices of RV structure (RV end-diastolic volume: r = 0.67, P = 0.01) and RV function (RV free wall strain: r = 0.59, P = 0.03) but was not associated with RV afterload (total pulmonary resistance: r = 0.08, P = 0.79). Conversely, there was a strong correlation between RV ECV and RV afterload in PAH (r = 0.57, P = 0.04).ConclusionsDiffuse RV fibrosis, as measured by ECV, is present in PH-HFpEF and is associated with adverse RV structural and functional remodelling but not degree of pulmonary vasculopathy. In PH-HFpEF, diffuse RV fibrosis may occur out of proportion to the degree of RV afterload.

Project description:The Third International Right Heart Summit was organized for the purpose of bringing an interdisciplinary group of expert physician-scientists together to promote dialogue involving emerging concepts in the unique pathophysiology, clinical manifestation, and therapies of pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) and right heart failure (RHF). This review summarizes key ideas addressed in the section of the seminar entitled "Transplantation in End-Stage Pulmonary Hypertension." The first segment focused on paradigms of recovery for the failing right ventricle (RV) within the context of lung-alone versus dual-organ heart-lung transplantation. The subsequent 2-part section was devoted to emerging concepts in RV salvage therapy. A presentation of evolving cell-based therapy for the reparation of diseased tissue was followed by a contemporary perspective on the role of mechanical circulatory support in the setting of RV failure. The final talk highlighted cutting-edge research models utilizing stem cell biology to repair diseased tissue in end-stage lung disease-a conceptual framework within which new therapies for PVD have potential to evolve. Together, these provocative talks provided a novel outlook on how the treatment of PVD and RHF can be approached.
