Project description:In atrial fibrillation, disturbed electrical conduction disrupts the coordinated contraction of the heart’s antechambers, increasing the risk of stroke and heart failure. The rising prevalence of this disease approaches 9% in patients >65 years. Studying freshly isolated human atrial tissue and a new mouse model, we here decipher how immune and stromal cells contribute to the structural tissue remodeling that underlies atrial fibrillation. Single-cell transcriptomes from control and diseased human atria documented macrophage doubling at the expense of endothelial and mural cells. An inflammatory monocyte and a pro-fibrotic SPP1+ macrophage cluster expanded in patients with atrial fibrillation. To experimentally perturb pathways observed in patients, we matched their risk factors Hypertension, Obesity and Mitral valvE Regurgitation (HOMER) in mice. Atrial single-cell transcriptomes obtained in HOMER mice, which developed enlarged, fibrillation-prone atria, recapitulated human cell composition and transcriptome variations. Recruitment drove the expansion of atrial macrophages; accordingly, inhibition of monocyte migration reduced arrhythmia in Ccr2-/- HOMER mice. Deleting Spp1 established macrophage-derived osteopontin as a pleiotropic signal that promotes atrial fibrillation through pro-fibrotic, inflammatory crosstalk with an arsenal of local immune and stromal cells. Taken together, we identify SPP1+ macrophages as targets for immunomodulatory therapy in atrial fibrillation.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart arrhythmia disease. The greatest risk of atrial fibrillation is stroke, and stroke caused by valvular heart disease with atrial fibrillation (AF-VHD) is more serious. the development mechanism from VHD to AF-VHD is not yet clear. The research on expression profiles of lncRNA and mRNA is helpful to explore molecular mechanism in patients with valvular heart disease who develop atrial fibrillation.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common persistent arrhythmia that affect 1–2% of the general population. People with AF display an array of complications cardiogenic stroke and systemic embolism caused by hemodynamic instability and blood hypercoagulability in clinical practice. However, it’s still unclear whether and how ubiquitylated proteins react to AF in the left atrial appendage of patients with AF and valvular heart disease. This theory focuses on the changes of ubiquitylated proteins in atrial fibrillation associated with heart valve disease. We firstly widely analysis the proteins ubiquitination in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Project description:This study will report the incidence of atrial fibrillation after elective colorectal cancer resection in the over 65 age group. This will be used to validate a risk model for the development of post-operative atrial fibrillation.
Eligible patients will undergo electrocardiogram based screening for atrial fibrillation, as well as brain natriuretic peptide tests prior to surgery. They will undergo 24 hour holter monitor prior to surgery, and at 30 and 90 days following surgery.
The primary outcome will be occurrence of atrial fibrillation within 90 days of surgery. Secondary outcomes include quality of life change, use of hospital services for atrial fibrillation, and complications of atrial fibrillation. This will be used to validate the pre-existing model for prediction of atrial fibrillation.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia with increased risk of stroke and congestive heart failure. AF is a highly genetic heterogeneous disease, but a large proportion of AF cannot be explained by genetic variants only. Some risk factors of AF, tendentious heritable phenomenon, potentially reversible conditions and some subtypes without DNA sequence variation all indicate the participation of DNA methylation in the pathogenesis of AF. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 11 left atrium samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip GPL13534

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is currently the most prevalent arrhythmia worldwide.Recent clinical data implicate the additional contribution of non-coding RNAs in the pathogenesis of AFï¼which include microRNAs(miRNAs), endogenous small interfering RNAs, PIWIinteracting RNAs, and lncRNA. Notably, a growing number of lncRNAs have been implicated in disease etiology, although an association with AF has not been reported. In the present study, we conducted an integrated analysis of dysregulated lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in myocardial sleevesof pulmonary veins between the patients who develop AF and the patients who were in normal sinus rhythm, which was performed using a second generation lncRNA microarrayï¼focusing specifically on the identification and characterization of lncRNAs and mRNA potentially involving in maintaining atrial fibrillation. We conducted an integrated analysis of myocardial sleeves of pulmonary veinsï¼PVsï¼from 12 patients (6 non-AF and 6AF) in our center, of which hypertension, diabetes, smoking and alcohol abuse were excluded, using a second generation lncRNA microarray

Project description:Objectives: We studied the signal transduction of atrial structural remodelling that contributes to the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Backround: Fibrosis is a hallmark of arrhythmogenic structural remodelling but the underlying molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. Methods: We performed transcriptional profiling of left atrial myocardium (LA) from patients with AF and sinus rhythm (SR) and applied cultured primary cardiac cells and transgenic mice with overexpression of constitutively active V12Rac1 (RacET) who develop AF at old age to characterize mediators of the signal transduction of atrial remodeling. Results: LA from patients with AF showed a marked upregulation of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression compared SR patients. This was associated with increased fibrosis, NADPH-oxidase-, Rac1- and RhoA activity, upregulation of N-cadherin and connexin 43 (Cx43) expression and increased angiotensin II tissue concentration. In neonatal rat cardiac myocytes and -fibroblasts, a specific small molecule inhibitor of Rac1 or simvastatin completely prevented the angiotensin II induced upregulation of CTGF, Cx43 and N-cadherin expression. Transfection with small-inhibiting CTGF RNA blocked Cx43 and N-cadherin expression. RacET mice showed upregulation of CTGF, Cx43 and N-cadherin protein expression. Inhibition of Rac1 by oral statin treatment prevented these effects, identifying Rac1 as a key regulator of CTGF in vivo. Conclusion: The data identify CTGF as an important mediator of atrial structural remodelling during AF. Angiotensin II activates CTGF via activation of Rac1 and NADPH oxidase, leading to upregulation of Cx43, N-cadherin and interstitial fibrosis and therefore contributing to the signal transduction of atrial structural remodelling. Array design study consists of 5 Atrial Fibrillation patients and matched 5 samples of patients in sinus rhythm (controls).

Project description:Obscurins are giant, modular, cytoskeletal proteins that regulate striated muscle structure and function. Immunoglobulin domains 58/59 (Ig58/59) of obscurin interact with diverse proteins including titin variants and phospholamban. Mutations within Ig58/59 that alter these binding interactions have been linked to the development of myopathy in humans, underscoring the pathophysiological significance of this module. We previously generated a constitutive deletion mouse model, Obscn-ΔIg58/59, that expresses obscurin lacking Ig58/59 and comprehensively characterized the effects of this deletion on cardiac morphology and function through aging. Our findings demonstrated that Obscn-ΔIg58/59 male animals develop severe arrhythmia characterized by spontaneous atrial fibrillation/junctional escape by 6-months of age, with atrial enlargement and ventricular remodeling manifesting by 12-months. Herein, we aim to mechanistically evaluate the impact of the Ig58/59 deletion in atria at the cellular level and determine the molecular basis for atrial enlargement and arrhythmia due to the physiological process of aging. Ultrastructural evaluation of sedentary aging male Obscn-ΔIg58/59 atria revealed prominent Z-disk streaming and misalignment. More importantly, Obscn-ΔIg58/59 atrial cardiomyocytes exhibited increased Ca2+ spark frequency and age-specific alterations in Ca2+ cycling kinetics and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ content that preceded those observed in Obscn-ΔIg58/59 ventricular cardiomyocytes. Proteomic and phospho-proteomic analyses revealed extensive and novel alterations in the expression and phosphorylation profile of major cytoskeletal proteins, Ca2+ regulators, and Z-disk associated protein complexes in Obscn-ΔIg58/59 atria through aging that likely underlie the observed atrial pathologies. These studies are the first to evaluate the role of obscurin in atria and to reveal chamber-specific molecular alterations due to Ig58/59 deletion. Moreover, our findings provide new molecular insights into a genetic model of spontaneous atrial fibrillation and remodeling where atrial dysfunction precedes ventricular maladaptation.
