Project description:To understand the cellular mechanisms of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), We investigated the functional outcome and the underlying mechanisms from concurrent mechanic and metabolic stresses in the heart by applying transverse aortic constriction (TAC) in lean C57Bl/6J (HFrEF phenotype) or obese/diabetic B6.Cg-Lepob/J (ob/ob) mice (HFpEF phenotype) followed by single-nuclei RNA-seq (snRNA-seq) and targeted manipulation of a top ranked signaling pathway (glucagon receptor signaling) differentially affected in the two experimental cohorts.

Project description:Heart failure affects 2–3% of adult Western population. Prevalence of heart failure with preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (HFpEF) increases. Studies suggest HFpEF patients to have altered myocardial structure and functional changes such as incomplete relaxation and increased cardiac stiffness. We hypothesised that patients undergoing elective coronary bypass surgery (CABG) with HFpEF characteristics will show distinctive gene expression compared to patients with normal LV physiology. Myocardial biopsies for mRNA expression analysis were obtained from sixteen patients with LV ejection fraction ≥ 45%. Five out of 16 patients (31%) had echocardiographic characteristics and increased NTproBNP levels indicative of HFpEF and this group was used as HFpEF proxy, while 11 patients had Normal LV physiology. Utilising principal component analysis, the gene expression data clustered into two groups, corresponding to HFpEF proxy and Normal physiology, and 743 differentially expressed genes were identified. The associated top biological functions were cardiac muscle contraction, oxidative phosphorylation, cellular remodelling and matrix organisation. Our results also indicate that upstream regulatory events, including inhibition of transcription factors STAT4, SRF and TP53, and activation of transcription repressors HEY2 and KDM5A, could provide explanatory mechanisms to observed gene expression differences and ultimately cardiac dysfunction in the HFpEF proxy group. <br> Sequencing data from clinical patients fall under GDPR regulations of sharing of personal data and will be made available through EGA-SE.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for 50% of heart failure patients. Clinically, HFpEF prevalence show age and gender biases. Although the majority of HFpEF patients are elderly, there is an emergence of young HFpEF patients. A better understanding of the underlying pathogenic mechanism is urgently needed. Here, we aimed to determine the role of aging in the pathogenesis of HFpEF. METHODS AND RESULTS: HFpEF dietary regimen (HFD + L-NAME) was used to induce HFpEF in wildtype and telomerase RNA knockout mice (mTRG2 and mTRG3), an aging murine model. First, both male and female animals develop HFpEF equally. Second, cardiac wall thickening preceded diastolic dysfunction in all HFpEF animals. Third, accelerated HFpEF onset was observed in mTRG2 (at 6-weeks) and mTRG3 (at 4-weeks) compared to wildtype (8-weeks). Fourth, we demonstrate that mitochondrial respiration transitioned from compensatory state (normal basal yet loss of maximal respiratory capacity) to dysfunction (loss of both basal and maximal respiratory capacity) in a p53 dosage dependent manner. Last, using myocardial-specific p53 knockout animals, we demonstrate that p53 is necessary for the development of HFpEF. CONCLUSIONS: Here we demonstrate that p53 activation is critical for the pathogenesis of HFpEF. We show that short telomere animals exhibit a basal level of p53 activation, mitochondria upregulate mtDNA encoded genes as a mean to compensate for blocked mitochondrial biogenesis, and loss of myocardial p53 prevents HFpEF upon HFD + L-NAME challenge.

Project description:Recent studies have suggested that epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) play an important role in the pathogenesis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but few have characterized the underlying mechanism between their interactions. Recent evidence suggested that molecules secreted from EAT, including exosomes carrying non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), may participate in the development of HFpEF. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression profile of mRNAs and ncRNAs in EAT with HFpEF.

Project description:Myocardial fibrosis leads to cardiac dysfunction and arrhythmias in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, RNA sequencing identifies Forkhead Box1 (FoxO1) signaling as abnormal in HFpEF hearts. Genetic suppression of FoxO1 alters the intercellular communication between cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts, alleviates abnormal diastolic relaxation, and reduces arrhythmias. Targeted downregulation of FoxO1 in activated fibroblasts reduces cardiac fibrosis, blunts arrhythmogenesis and improves diastolic function in HFpEF. These results not only implicate FoxO1 in arrhythmogenesis and lusitropy but also demonstrate that pro-fibrotic cardiomyocyte-fibroblast communication can be corrected, constituting a novel therapeutic strategy for HFpEF.

Project description:Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains a major public health burden with increasing prevalence but only few effective therapies. Endothelial dysfunction and inflammation are identified as pathophysiological drivers of HFpEF disease progression. MicroRNAs are increasingly recognized as key regulators of these pathological processes, while antimiR-based therapies have been emerged as promising therapeutics in mice and humans. Therefore, we tested whether targeting miR-92a-3p inhibition is a promising therapeutic intervention to target HFpEF in vivo. By injection of locked nucleic acid (LNA)-based antimiR (LNA-92a) weekly, we demonstrate that inhibition of miR-92a-3p attenuates the development of diastolic dysfunction and left atrial dilation following experimental induction of HFpEF in mice. Indeed, LNA-92a depleted miR-92a-3p expression in the myocardium and peripheral blood, and derepressed predicted target genes in a cell type-specific manner. Furthermore, cell-type specific efficacy of LNA-92a treatment was assessed by single-nuclear RNA sequencing of HFpEF hearts either treated with LNA-92a or LNA-Control. Endothelial cells of LNA-92a treated mice showed normalized vascular gene expression and reduced gene signatures associated with endothelial-mesenchymal transition. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that LNA-based antimiR-92a is an effective therapeutic strategy to target diastolic dysfunction and left atrial dilation in HFpEF.

Project description:As patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) present with multiple comorbidities, we hypothesized, that metabolic syndrome in aging animals could lead to the development of diastolic dysfunction and HFpEF. HFpEF is a common complex morbid syndrome for which there are currently little evidence-based therapies. Obesity-prone rats were exposed to high-fat diet and compared to obesity-resistant rats fed with standard chow. Phenotyping of metabolic syndrome, associated with echocardiographic and cardiac hemodynamic measurements, was performed after 4 and 12 months. Blood and myocardial tissue sampling were performed for pathobiological evaluation. High-fat diet in obesity-prone rats elicited metabolic syndrome, characterized by increased body and abdominal fat weights, glucose intolerance and hyperlipidemia, as well as increased left ventricular (LV) systolic pressure (after 12 months). This was associated with LV diastolic dysfunction (assessed by increased LV end-diastolic pressure) and pulmonary hypertension (assessed by increased right ventricular systolic pressure). Echocardiography revealed significant concentric LV hypertrophy, while LV ejection fraction was preserved. LV remodeling was associated with cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, as well as myocardial and perivascular fibrosis. Circulating levels of soluble ST2 markedly increased in rats with HFpEF, while plasma NT-proBNP levels decreased. RNA-sequencing analysis identified clusters of genes implicated in fatty acid metabolism and calcium-dependent contraction as upregulated pathways in the myocardium of rats with HFpEF. High-fat diet during 12 months in obesity-prone rats led to the development of a relevant preclinical model of HFpEF with multiple comorbidities, suitable for investigating novel therapeutic interventions.
