FLT4 causes developmental disorders of the cardiovascular and lymphovascular systems via pleiotropic molecular mechanisms

ABSTRACT: Genetic variation in FLT4 is associated with the most prevalent cyanotic congenital heart disease,Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Distinct genetic variation in FLT4 is an established cause of Milroy disease, the prevailing form of primary hereditary lymphoedema. Phenotypic features of the conditions are non-overlapping, implying pleiotropic mechanisms. Here, TOF-associated FLT4 variants identified in patients,aggregate in the perinuclear/secretory pathway, activating proteostatic/metabolic signalling that lymphoedema-associated FLT4 variants do not. FLT4 TOF variants display characteristic gene expression changes in developmental signalling pathways, when expressed in undifferentiated human endothelial cells, revealing a role for FLT4 in cardiogenesis distinct from its role in lymphatic development. Inhibition of the main pathways of proteostasis abrogates these effects, identifying potential avenues for therapeutic intervention. We show that a gain-of-pathogenic-function mechanism causes TOF, contrasting with the dominant negative mechanism identified for Milroy-causative variants.This is among the first demonstrations that mechanistically elucidates developmental pleiotropy of thevascular system.

Transcription profile in patients with cyanotic Tetralogy of Fallot

Project description:To determine cardiac transcription profile in cyanotic Tetralogy of Fallot patients, we collected myocardial samples immediately after institution of cardiopulmonary bypass from cyanotic Tetralogy of Fallot patients undergoing corrective surgery. The transcriptional profile of the mRNA in these samples was measured with gene array technology. Myocardial samples were collected, immediately after institution of cardiopulmonary bypass from cyanotic Tetralogy of Fallot patients undergoing corrective surgery.

Comparative DNA methylation and gene expression analysis identifies novel genes for structural congenital heart diseases

Project description:The most common congenital heart disease (CHD) is the ventricular septal defect (VSD), which is also a subfeature of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) representing the most common form of cyanotic CHD. The underlying causes for the majority of CHDs are still unclear and most probably consist of combinations of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors. DNA methylation is the most widely studied epigenetic modification and several cardiac regulators have already been shown to be differentially methylated in CHD patients. Here, we present the first analysis of genome-wide DNA methylation data obtained from cardiac biopsies of TOF and VSD patients. We applied affinity-based enrichment of methylated DNA sequences with methyl-CpG-binding domain proteins followed by next-generation sequencing (MBD-Seq).

Whole genome microarray gene expression profiling of right ventricular heart specimens from pediatric patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)

Project description:Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart defect with a world-wide prevalence of 3 to 4 cases per 10,000 life births. TOF is a congenital heart disease with four major cardiac defects, i.e., ventricular septal defect, overriding aortic root, infundibular stenosis of the pulmonary artery, and right ventricular hypertrophy. Treatment relies on correction surgery in early infancy. This study performed whole genome microarray gene expression profiling of cardiac specimens of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), which were recovered during correction surgery of TOF from 11 pediatric patients diagnosed with TOF cardiac defects.

Analysis of Amniotic Fluid-Derived Exosomal miRNAs in Fetuses with Tetralogy of Fallot

Project description:Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD). Amniotic fluid (AF) contains a higher abundance of biological compounds which could direct reflect the information of fetal health. AF-derived exosomal miRNAs have been investigated as etiological factors in the pathogenesis of TOF. The purpose of this study was to analyze the expression of AF-derived exosomal miRNAs and their roles in TOF development. In this study, we identified differentially expressed (DE)-miRNAs between TOF group and control group. A total of 257 miRNAs were differentially expressed (DE) between TOF and control groups. KEGG pathway enrichment demonstrated that these target genes of DE-miRNAs were involved in Wnt and Notch signaling pathway. Twenty five of 257 DE-miRNAs were overlapped with Notch-regulated and Wnt-regulated miRNAs simultaneously.
