Project description:This study aims at identifying gene expression patterns in the whole blood that could differentiate patients with severe coronary atherosclerosis from subjects without detectable coronary artery disease (CAD), and assess associations of gene expression patterns with plaque features at coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Patients undergoing CCTA for suspected CAD, with no cardiovascular history, were enrolled. Coronary stenosis was quantified and CCTA plaque features were assessed. The whole-blood transcriptome was analyzed by RNA-Sequencing. We detected highly significant differences in the circulating transcriptome between patients with high-degree coronary stenosis (> 70%) at CCTA and subjects with the absence of coronary plaques. Noteworthy, regression analysis revealed expression signatures associated with Leaman score, segment involved score, segment-stenosis score, and plaque volume with density <150 HU at CCTA. This pilot study shows that patients with significant coronary stenosis are characterized by whole blood transcriptome profiles that may discriminate them from patients without CAD. Furthermore, our results suggest that whole blood transcriptional profiles may predict plaque characteristics.

Project description:Rationale: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been independently associated with non-calcified, high-risk coronary plaques in low-to intermediate risk subjects. Recently, a bidirectional communication was shown between EAT and diseased coronary arteries. In high-risk patients it is unknown whether quantitative measures of EAT can capture, and which molecular players are involved in this mutual interplay. Objective: In a high-risk population, we aimed to determine how the volume of EAT is linked to coronary artery disease (CAD) and to identify potential EAT-deregulated pathways in CAD patients specifically related to coronary artery calcification (CAC). Methods and Results: In a prospective cohort of 574 degenerative severe aortic stenosis patients referred to cardiac surgery, we quantified fat depots by computed tomography (CT) and performed a comparative quantitative proteomics of thoracic fat, including EAT, mediastinal (MAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissues. We did not find an independent association of EAT volume with the severity, distribution and complexity of coronary stenosis in invasive coronary angiography. Although, EAT volume was correlated with high CAC, its cardiovascular risk factors-adjusted association was not significant. Taking as reference non-CAD matched-patients and compared to MAT and SAT, EAT proteomic signature of CAD was characterized by up-regulation of pro-calcifying annexins (Annexin A2, ANXA2), fatty acid binding transporters (FABP4) and inflammatory signaling proteins, and by down-regulation of fetuin-A and redox state regulatory enzymes. In EAT, ANXA2 regulation was positively correlated with CAC. EAT gene expression studies confirmed overexpression of ANXA2 and FABP4 in CAD, but no expression of FETUA was detected. Compared with non-CAD, fetuin-A circulating levels were higher in CAD, whereas no fetuin-A pericardial fluid differences were found. Conclusions: In this high-risk cohort, EAT presented an imbalance of pro-calcifying, pro-inflammatory and lipid transporters mediators. These local EAT-mediated regulatory mechanisms were not reflected by the CT volume of EAT alone.

Project description:Monocytes and T-cells play an important role in the development of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). Differences in transcriptional activity of these cells might reflect the individual's atherosclerotic burden. Transcriptome analysis of circulating mononuclear cells from carefully matched atherosclerotic and control patients will potentially provide insights into the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and supply biomarkers for diagnostic purposes. From patients undergoing coronary angiography because of anginal symptoms, we carefully matched 18 patients with severe triple-vessel CAD to 13 control patients without signs of CAD on angiography. All patients were on statin and aspirin treatment. RNA from circulating CD4+ T-cells, CD14+ monocytes, lipopolysaccharide-stimulated monocytes, macrophages and CD34+ progenitor cells was subjected to genome-wide expression analysis. Only CD14+ monocytes demonstrated that a small number of genes involved in activation was overexpressed in control patients, which was verified by real-time polymerase-chain reaction. In this pilot study, cautious matching of patients with severe atherosclerotic CAD with control patients without angiographic signs of coronary atherosclerosis did not reveal differences in transcriptional activity in four out of five different mononuclear cell types. In resting monocytes from patients without overt CAD some inflammatory genes were overexpressed as compared to patients with severe CAD. Large inter-individual variability prevented the use of single differentially expressed genes as biomarkers. Keywords: disease-state analysis In total 153 arrays were analyzed with 6 technical replicates (147 biological samples). CD34+ stem cells, CD4+ T-cells, resting CD14+ monocytes, stimulated monocytes and macrophages were analyzed, all from patient with severe coronary atherosclerosis or controls that had no coronary atherosclerosis as determined angiographically, and which were carefully matched for age and gender.

Project description:We developed a coronary plaque sampling approach that could be applied broadly in live patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) to obtain molecular and cellular insights into human coronary atherosclerosis. Our approach combined RNA retrieval directly from balloons used in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and inexpensive, low-input RNA-Seq using SMART-seq. We generated SMART-Seq libraries from coronary samples from 27 patients. Of the 27 patients, 13 were confirmed to have stable CAD (sCAD) and 14 confirmed to have been performed on lesions causing acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We applied CIBERSORTx to analyze the SMART-seq data from each of the 27 samples. We found fibroblasts and fibromyoctes were enriched, while smooth muscle cells were reduced, in samples from ACS compared with sCAD patients. We identified 371 genes as significantly differential expressed (q<0.05) between sCAD and ACS patients.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genetic risk loci for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, non-European populations are underrepresented in coronary artery disease (CAD). However, non-European populations are underrepresented in GWAS and the causal gene-regulatory mechanisms of these risk loci during atherosclerosis remain unclear. We incorporated local ancestry and haplotype information to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for gene expression and splicing in coronary arteries obtained from 138 ancestrally diverse Americans.

Project description:Gene expression profile in circulating leukocytes identifies patients with coronary artery disease Peter Sinnaeve, Mark Donahue, Peter Grass, Jacky Vonderscher, David Seo, Pascal Goldschmidt, Christopher Granger Department of Medicine, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA, Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, Boston, MA, USA Introduction Systemic and local inflammation plays a prominent pathogenetic role in atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD), but the relationship of phenotypic changes in circulating leukocytes and extent of CAD remains unclear. We have investigated whether gene expression patterns in circulating leukocytes are associated with presence and extent of CAD. Methods Patients undergoing coronary angiography were selected according to their Duke CAD index (CADi), a validated angiographical measure of the extent of coronary atherosclerosis that correlates with outcome. RNA was extracted from 110 patients with CAD (CADi>23) and from 112 partially matched controls without CAD (CADi=0). Gene expression was assessed using Affymetrix U133A chips. Genes correlating with CAD were identified using Spearman’s rank correlation, and predictive gene expression patterns were identified using a partial least squares (PLS) regression analysis. Results 160 individual genes were found to significantly correlate with CADi (rho>0.2, P<0.0027), although changes in individual gene expression were relatively small (1.2 to 1.5 fold). Using these 160 genes, the PLS multivariate regression resulted in a highly predictive model (r2=0.764, P<0.001). Cross-validation showed that most of the predictive model was carried by only 8 genes (r2=0.752) (table 1). Conclusion Simultaneous expression pattern of 8 genes appears to be highly predictive for CAD. Peripheral leukocyte gene expression pattern could be a novel non-invasive biomarker for CAD and lead to new pathophysiologic insights. parallel group design

Project description:This study aimed to develop a short-read RNA-Seq protocol to detect mRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs (including putative novel lncRNAs) in human plasma. This protocol was applied to plasma from patients with established stable CAD (samples collected ~4 months after an acute coronary event) and healthy controls to screen for candidate mRNA, lncRNA and circRNA biomarkers associated with the presence of coronary artery disease and the progression from CAD to HF. We hypothesised that circulating levels of non-coding RNAs in patients with stable CAD may relect progression of atherosclerotic disease or adverse myocardial remodeling, and may help identify patients at risk of future cardiovascular events. Here we demonstrate that mRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs can be reliably detected in human plasma by deep RNA-Seq and report novel candidate biomarkers for the presence of CAD.

Project description:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a widespread heart condition caused by atherosclerosis and influences millions of people worldwide. Early detection of CAD is challenging due to the lack of specific biomarkers. The gut microbiota and host-microbiota interactions have been well documented to affect human health. However, investigation that reveals the role of gut microbes in CAD is still limited. This study aims to uncover the synergistic effects of host genes and gut microbes associated with CAD through integrative genomic analyses.
