Development of Specific Therapy Against Right Ventricular Failure (in vitro analysis)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Right ventricular (RV) failure plays a critical role in any type of heart failure. However, there is no specific therapy developed for RV failure. To understand RV failure, we focused on the RV specific genes. Global gene expression analysis showed that alternative complement pathway-related genes including C3 and Cfd were significantly upregulated in right ventricle in murine heart. We generated the RV failure by right ventricle-specific pressure overload model mice, pulmonary artery constriction (PAC), which induces RV failure around 14 days. After administration of C3a receptor (C3aR) antagonist, RV function was dramatically improved PAC-induced RV dysfunction in wild type mice. To investigate the role of C3a to cardiomyocyte, C3a recombinant protein was administerd to neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs), the results that several MAP kinesis were phosphorylated by C3a. In turn, to identify the key expressed genes as downstream of C3a in NRVMs, global gene expression analysis was performed in vitro.
