NGS-based miRNome profile in cardiac muscle tissue of congenital heart disease patients
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to explore the miRNome profile in three frequently occurring Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) types, namely Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). For this purpose, we extracted total RNA from the cardiac tissues of patients with CHD and non-CHD, which was subjected to high-throughput sequencing technology to profile the miRNAs. The small RNA sequencing data was analyzed using the nf-core bioinformatic analysis pipeline. There were 40 up-regulated and 8 down-regulated miRNAs identified to be differentially expressed. These miRNAs are predicted to target several genes involved in regulatory pathways such as cell proliferation, differentiation, cell survival, etc. The results from this study are expected to expand the existing knowledge on molecular basis of CHD. Functional validation can throw insights on molecular epidemiology and therapy for heart diseases.
