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.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia with increased risk of stroke and congestive heart failure. AF is a highly genetic heterogeneous disease, but a large proportion of AF cannot be explained by genetic variants only. Some risk factors of AF, tendentious heritable phenomenon, potentially reversible conditions and some subtypes without DNA sequence variation all indicate the participation of DNA methylation in the pathogenesis of AF. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 11 left atrium samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip GPL13534

Project description:Electrical and structural remodeling processes are contributors to the self-perpetuating nature of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, their correlation has not been clarified. In this study, human atrial tissues from the patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease in either sinus rhythm or persistent AF were analyzed using a combined transcriptomic and proteomic approach. An up-regulation in chloride intracellular channel (CLIC) 1, 4, 5 and a rise in type IV collagen were revealed. Combined with the results from immunohistochemistry and electron microscope analysis, the distribution of type IV collagen and effects of fibrosis on myocyte membrane indicated the possible interaction between CLIC and type IV collagen, confirmed by protein structure prediction and co-immunoprecipitation. These results indicate that CLICs play an important role in the development of atrial fibrillation and that CLICs and structural type IV collagen may interact on each other to promote the development of AF in rheumatic mitral valve disease.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common persistent arrhythmia that affect 1–2% of the general population. People with AF display an array of complications cardiogenic stroke and systemic embolism caused by hemodynamic instability and blood hypercoagulability in clinical practice. However, it’s still unclear whether and how ubiquitylated proteins react to AF in the left atrial appendage of patients with AF and valvular heart disease. This theory focuses on the changes of ubiquitylated proteins in atrial fibrillation associated with heart valve disease. We firstly widely analysis the proteins ubiquitination in patients with atrial fibrillation.

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:Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes atrial remodeling, and the left atrium (LA) is the favored substrate for maintaining AF. However, it remains unclear if AF remodels both atria differently and contributes to LA arrhythmogenesis and thrombogenesis. Results: AF was associated with differential LA-to-RA gene expression related to specific ion channels and pathways as well as upregulation of thrombogenesis-related genes in the LA appendage. Targeting the molecular mechanisms underlying the LA-to-RA difference and AF-related remodeling in the LA appendage may help provide new therapeutic options in treating AF and preventing thromboembolism in AF. Paired left atrial and right atrial specimens were obtained from 13 patients with persistent AF receiving valvular surgery. The Paired specimens were sent for microarray comparison. Selected results were validated by quantitative real time-PCR (q-PCR) and Western blotting. Ultrastructural changes in the atria were evaluated by immunohistochemistry.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive arrhythmia for which current therapy is inadequate. During AF, rapid stimulation causes atrial remodeling that promotes further AF. The cellular signals that trigger this process remain poorly understood, however, and elucidation of these factors would likely identify new therapeutic targets. We have previously shown that immortalized mouse atrial (HL-1) myocytes subjected to 24 hr of rapid stimulation in culture undergo remodeling similar to that seen in animal models of atrial tachycardia (AT) and human AF. This preparation is devoid of confounding in vivo variables that can modulate gene expression (e.g., hemodynamics). Therefore, we investigated the transcriptional profile associated with early atrial cell remodeling. RNA was harvested from HL-1 cells cultured for 24 hr in the absence and presence of rapid stimulation and subjected to microarray analysis. Data were normalized using Robust Multichip Analysis (RMA), and genes exhibiting significant differential expression were identified using the Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) method. Using this approach, 919 genes were identified that were significantly altered with rapid stimulation (763 up-regulated and 156 down-regulated). For many individual transcripts, changes typical of AF/AT were observed, with marked up-regulation of genes encoding BNP and ANP precursors, heat shock proteins, and MAP kinases, while novel signaling pathways and molecules were also identified. Both stress and survival response were evident, as well as up-regulation of multiple transcription factors. Genes were also functionally classified based on cellular component, biologic process, and molecular function using the Gene Ontology database to permit direct comparison of our data with other gene sets regulated in human AF and experimental AT. For broad categories of genes grouped by functional classification, there was striking conservation between rapidly stimulated HL-1 cells and AF/AT. Results were confirmed using real-time quantitative RT-PCR on 13 genes selected by physiological relevance in AF/AT and regulation in the microarray analysis (up, down, and nonregulated). Rapidly-stimulated atrial myocytes provide a complementary experimental paradigm to explore the initial cellular signals in AT remodeling to identify novel targets in the treatment of AF.

Project description:Background Atrial fibrosis plays a critical role in the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). Exosome is a promising cell-free therapeutic approach for the treatment of AF. The purpose of this study was to explore the mechanisms underlying exosomes derived from atrial myocytes regulated atrial remodeling and ask whether their manipulation allows for therapeutic modulation of fibrosis potential abnormalities during AF. Methods We isolated exosomes from atrial myocytes and patients serum, microRNA (miRNA) sequencing analyzed the exosomal miRNAs in atrial myocytes-exosomes and patients serum-exosomes. mRNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis corroborate the key gene as direct targets of miR-210-3p. Results The miRNAs sequencing analysis identified that miR-210-3p expression significantly increased in exosomes of tachypacing atrial myocytes and serum of AF patients. In vitro, the analysis showed that miR-210-3p inhibitor reversed tachypacing-induced proliferation and collagen synthesis in atrial fibroblasts. Accordingly, KO miR-210-3p could reduce the incidence of AF and ameliorate atrial fibrosis induced by Ang Ⅱ. The mRNA sequencing analysis and Dual-Luciferase reporter assay proved that glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1-like (GPD1L) is the potential target gene of miR-210-3p. The functional analysis suggests that GPD1L regulated atrial fibrosis via PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Besides, silencing GPD1L in atrial fibroblasts induced cells proliferation and these effects could be reversed by PI3K inhibitor (LY294002). Conclusion We demonstrate that atrial myocytes-derived exosomal miR-210-3p promoted the proliferation and collagen synthesis via inhibiting GPD1L in atrial fibroblasts. Preventing pathological crosstalk between atrial myocytes and fibroblasts may be as a novel target to improve atrial fibrosis in AF.

Project description:Objectives: We studied the signal transduction of atrial structural remodelling that contributes to the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Backround: Fibrosis is a hallmark of arrhythmogenic structural remodelling but the underlying molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. Methods: We performed transcriptional profiling of left atrial myocardium (LA) from patients with AF and sinus rhythm (SR) and applied cultured primary cardiac cells and transgenic mice with overexpression of constitutively active V12Rac1 (RacET) who develop AF at old age to characterize mediators of the signal transduction of atrial remodeling. Results: LA from patients with AF showed a marked upregulation of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression compared SR patients. This was associated with increased fibrosis, NADPH-oxidase-, Rac1- and RhoA activity, upregulation of N-cadherin and connexin 43 (Cx43) expression and increased angiotensin II tissue concentration. In neonatal rat cardiac myocytes and -fibroblasts, a specific small molecule inhibitor of Rac1 or simvastatin completely prevented the angiotensin II induced upregulation of CTGF, Cx43 and N-cadherin expression. Transfection with small-inhibiting CTGF RNA blocked Cx43 and N-cadherin expression. RacET mice showed upregulation of CTGF, Cx43 and N-cadherin protein expression. Inhibition of Rac1 by oral statin treatment prevented these effects, identifying Rac1 as a key regulator of CTGF in vivo. Conclusion: The data identify CTGF as an important mediator of atrial structural remodelling during AF. Angiotensin II activates CTGF via activation of Rac1 and NADPH oxidase, leading to upregulation of Cx43, N-cadherin and interstitial fibrosis and therefore contributing to the signal transduction of atrial structural remodelling. Array design study consists of 5 Atrial Fibrillation patients and matched 5 samples of patients in sinus rhythm (controls).
