Project description:Using conditional immortalization, we generated the first lines of human cardiomyocytes with preserved cardiomyogenic differentiation capacity. These human immortalized Atrial Myocytes (hiAMs) display strict control over proliferation and differentiation, allowing massive (quadrillion-fold) expansion followed by differentiation towards fully functional (i.e. excitable and contractile) human atrial cardiomyocytes. Here, we compared the transcriptome of three hiAM monoclones after differentiation (D12) with hESC-derived AMs (D28) using RNA-sequencing.

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 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:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent and morbid abnormality of the heart rhythm with a strong genetic component Here, we meta-analyzed genome and exome sequencing data from 36 studies that included 52,416 AF cases and 277,762 controls In burden tests of rare coding variation, we identified novel associations between AF and the genes MYBPC3, LMNA, PKP2, FAM189A2 and KDM5B We further identified associations between AF and rare structural variants due to deletions in CTNNA3 and duplications of GATA4 We broadly replicated our findings in independent samples from MyCode, deCODE and UK Biobank Finally, we found that CRISPR-knockout of KDM5B in stem cell derived atrial cardiomyocytes led to a shortening of the action potential duration and widespread transcriptomic dysregulation of genes relevant to atrial homeostasis and conduction Our results highlight the contribution of rare coding and structural variants to AF, the genetic link between AF and cardiomyopathies, and expand our understanding of the rare variant architecture for this common arrhythmia

Project description:Obscurins are giant, modular, cytoskeletal proteins that regulate striated muscle structure and function. Immunoglobulin domains 58/59 (Ig58/59) of obscurin interact with diverse proteins including titin variants and phospholamban. Mutations within Ig58/59 that alter these binding interactions have been linked to the development of myopathy in humans, underscoring the pathophysiological significance of this module. We previously generated a constitutive deletion mouse model, Obscn-ΔIg58/59, that expresses obscurin lacking Ig58/59 and comprehensively characterized the effects of this deletion on cardiac morphology and function through aging. Our findings demonstrated that Obscn-ΔIg58/59 male animals develop severe arrhythmia characterized by spontaneous atrial fibrillation/junctional escape by 6-months of age, with atrial enlargement and ventricular remodeling manifesting by 12-months. Herein, we aim to mechanistically evaluate the impact of the Ig58/59 deletion in atria at the cellular level and determine the molecular basis for atrial enlargement and arrhythmia due to the physiological process of aging. Ultrastructural evaluation of sedentary aging male Obscn-ΔIg58/59 atria revealed prominent Z-disk streaming and misalignment. More importantly, Obscn-ΔIg58/59 atrial cardiomyocytes exhibited increased Ca2+ spark frequency and age-specific alterations in Ca2+ cycling kinetics and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ content that preceded those observed in Obscn-ΔIg58/59 ventricular cardiomyocytes. Proteomic and phospho-proteomic analyses revealed extensive and novel alterations in the expression and phosphorylation profile of major cytoskeletal proteins, Ca2+ regulators, and Z-disk associated protein complexes in Obscn-ΔIg58/59 atria through aging that likely underlie the observed atrial pathologies. These studies are the first to evaluate the role of obscurin in atria and to reveal chamber-specific molecular alterations due to Ig58/59 deletion. Moreover, our findings provide new molecular insights into a genetic model of spontaneous atrial fibrillation and remodeling where atrial dysfunction precedes ventricular maladaptation.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia treatable with antiarrhythmic drugs, but patient responses are highly variable. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived atrial cardiomyocytes (iPSC-aCMs) are useful for discovering precision therapeutics, but current platforms yield an immature cellular phenotype and are not easily scalable for high-throughput screening. Here, we report that primary adult atrial, but not ventricular, fibroblasts induced greater functional iPSC-aCM maturation, partly through connexin-40 and ephrin-B1 signaling. We developed a protein patterning process within industry-standard multiwell plates to engineer patterned co-culture (PC) of iPSC-aCMs and atrial fibroblasts that significantly enhanced iPSC-aCM structural, electrical, contractile, and metabolic maturation for 6+ weeks versus conventional mono-/co-cultures. PC displayed greater sensitivity for detecting drug efficacy than monocultures, and enabled the modeling and pharmacological or gene editing treatment of an AF-like electrophysiological phenotype due to a sodium channel mutation. In conclusion, PC is useful to elucidate heterotypic cell signaling in the atria, drug screening, and to model AF.
