A microRNA blueprint for early atrial remodeling in a porcine model of paroxysmal atrial fibrilation

ABSTRACT: Spontaneous paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is one of the very common heart rhythm disorders. The molecular mechanisms underlying PAF susceptibility and persistence are multiple and incompletely understood. To study the contribution of microRNAs (miRNAs) to the development and perpetuation of PAF, we used microarray/qPCR analyses to search for changes in miRNA expression in atrial myocardium upon pacing-induced PAF. The miRNA microarray analysis was performed at LC Sciences (Houston, TX, USA). Following screening-microarray, several miRNAs were selected for detailed real-time qPCR assay. Our results suggest that immediate-early miR remodeling of LAA underlies the development and persistence of PAF. A closed-chest model of PAF was established in postnatal pigs via a rapid atrial electrical stimulation with a controlled ventricular response rate. A pacing catheter (delivered into the right atrium via femoral vein access under fluoroscopic guidance) was connected with an external pulse generator for programmed pacing rates. The burst-pacing stimuli were repeated several times, and the induced PAF occurrence rates and durations were recorded. Burst pacing was not performed in sham-operated group. Animals were euthanized 24 hours after cessation of pacing. Given that the right atrium might have been damaged by catheter insertion, we studied miRNA expression changes associated with PAF in the left atrial appendage (LAA) from paced vs control pigs.

Expression data from mouse atrial Angiotensin II treated for 0,1,2,3 weeks

Project description:AF is characterized by structural and electrical remodeling, including atrial enlargement, fibrosis, inflammation, and ion-channel alteration, which frequently results in arrhythmia recurrence and maintenance.However, the gene expression profiles signaling pathways in the atria during the development of AF induced by Ang II remain unknown All mice were infused with Ang II (2000 ng/kg/min) using an osmotic pump for 1, 2 and 3 weeks. At the end of Ang II infusion, intracardiac pacing was performed in these animals by inserting an eight-electrode catheter (1.1 F, octapolar EP catheter, Science) through the jugular vein and advancing it into the right atrium and ventricle.

Reduced left atrial cardiomyocyte PITX2 and elevated circulating BMP10 predict atrial fibrillation after ablation

Project description:Background: Genomic and experimental studies suggest a role for PITX2 in atrial fibrillation (AF). To assess whether this association is relevant for recurrent AF in patients, we tested whether left atrial PITX2 affects recurrent AF after AF ablation. Methods: mRNA concentrations of PITX2 and its cardiac isoform, PITX2c, were quantified in left atrial appendages (LAA) from patients undergoing thoracoscopic AF ablation, either in whole LAA tissue (n=83) or in LAA cardiomyocytes (n=52), and combined with clinical parameters to predict AF recurrence. Literature suggests bone morphogenetic protein 10 (BMP10) as a PITX2-repressed, atrial-specific, secreted protein. BMP10 plasma concentrations were combined with eleven cardiovascular biomarkers and clinical parameters to predict recurrent AF after catheter ablation in 359 patients. Results: Reduced cardiomyocyte PITX2 concentrations, but not whole LAA tissue PITX2, were associated with AF recurrence after thoracoscopic AF ablation (16% decreased recurrence per 2-(ΔΔCt) increase in PITX2). RNA sequencing, qPCR and Western blotting confirmed BMP10 as one of most PITX2-repressed atrial genes. Left atrial size (hazard ratio per mm increase, HR [95%CI] 1.055 [1.028, 1.082], non-paroxysmal AF (HR 1.672 [1.206, 2.318]) and elevated BMP10 (HR 1.339 [CI 1.159, 1.546] per quartile increase) were predictive of recurrent AF. BMP10 outperformed eleven other cardiovascular biomarkers in predicting recurrent AF. Conclusions: Reduced left atrial cardiomyocyte PITX2 and elevated plasma concentrations of the PITX2-repressed, secreted, atrial protein BMP10 identify patients at risk of recurrent AF after ablation.

Transcriptome and Proteome Mapping in the Sheep Atria Reveal Molecular Features of Atrial Fibrillation Progression

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is often a progressive cardiac arrhythmia that increases the risk of hospitalization and adverse cardiovascular events. There is a clear demand for more inclusive and large-scale approaches to understand the molecular drivers responsible for AF, as well as the fundamental mechanisms governing the transition from paroxysmal to persistent and permanent forms. We aimed to create a molecular map of AF and find the distinct genetic programs underlying cell type-specific atrial remodeling and AF progression. We used a sheep model of long-standing, tachypacing-induced AF, sampled right and left atrial tissue and isolated cardiomyocytes from control, intermediate (transition) and late time points during AF progression, and performed transcriptomic and proteome profiling. We have merged all these layers of information into a meaningful 3-component space in which we explored the genes and proteins detected and their common patterns of expression. Our data-driven analysis points at extracellular matrix remodeling, inflammation, ion channel, myofibril structure, mitochondrial complexes and chromatin remodeling as hallmarks of AF progression. Most important, we prove that these changes occur at early transitional stages of the disease, but not at later stages, and that the left atrium undergoes significantly more profound changes than the right atrium in its expression program. The pattern of dynamic changes in gene and protein expression correspond closely with the electrical and structural remodeling demonstrated previously in the sheep and in humans. The results provide novel insight into the dynamics of gene and protein expression changes that underlie AF-induced atrial remodeling and that make the arrhythmia become more stable and long lasting.

Function of Pitx2 in postnatal heart

Project description:Pitx2 is the homeobox gene located in proximity to the human 4q25 familial atrial fibrillation locus. Pitx2 haploinsufficient mice are prone to pacing induced atrial fibrillation indicating that reduced Pitx2 promotes an arrhythmogenic substrate within the atrium. Here, we inactivated Pitx2 in postnatal heart and discovered that unstressed adult Pitx2 mutant mice had sinus node dysfunction with impaired atrial conduction, an arrhythmia closely associated with atrial fibrillation. A genome-wide search for Pitx2 transcriptional targets using ChIP-sequencing and RNA expression profiling shows that Pitx2 represses target genes encoding cell junction proteins, ion channels, and critical transcriptional regulators many of which have been implicated in human atrial fibrillation by genome wide association studies. Our findings unveil a Pitx2 postnatal arrhythmogenic function, novel Pitx2 target genes relevant to atrial fibrillation, and reveal that Pitx2 stabilizes the intercalated disc in postnatal atrium. Genomic occupancy profiling of transcriptional factor Pitx2 in postnatal heart.

Valvular heart disease and atrial fibrillation regulate microRNA expression profiles in left and right atria differently

Project description:Background: Chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complication associated with the dilated atria of patients with valvular heart disease and contributes to worsened pathology. Methods and Results: Using microarray technology, we examined microRNA (miR) expression profiles in right and left atrial appendage tissue from valvular heart disease (VHD) patients. Right atrial appendage from patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and left atrial (LA) appendage from healthy hearts not used for transplant were used as controls. VHD induced different changes in miR expression in LA compared with right atria (RA). Fifty-two (52) miRs were altered by VHD in LA, compared with 5 in RA tissue. There was no detectable effect of chronic AF on miR expression in LA tissue, but miR expression in RA was strongly influenced by AF, with 47 miRs showing differential expression. LA volume correlated with miR expression changes in both LA and RA, but the affected miRs were different for the two atrial groups. Conclusions: VHD and AF influence miR expression patterns in LA and RA, but these are affected differently by disease progression and by the development of AF. These findings provide new insights into the progression of VHD. RA tissue is not a useful surrogate for LA in studies of mitral valve disease. 34 arrays from either the left or right atrium from patients with Valvular Heart Disease (VHD), patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), or healthy controls. Arrays in this series were generated on V2 and V3 Agilent microRNA arrays and analysed in combination.

Atrial fibrillation is associated with altered left-to-right atria gene expression ratio: implications for arrhythmogenesis and thrombogenesis

Project description:Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes atrial remodeling, and the left atrium (LA) is the favored substrate for maintaining AF. However, it remains unclear if AF remodels both atria differently and contributes to LA arrhythmogenesis and thrombogenesis. Results: AF was associated with differential LA-to-RA gene expression related to specific ion channels and pathways as well as upregulation of thrombogenesis-related genes in the LA appendage. Targeting the molecular mechanisms underlying the LA-to-RA difference and AF-related remodeling in the LA appendage may help provide new therapeutic options in treating AF and preventing thromboembolism in AF. Paired left atrial and right atrial specimens were obtained from 13 patients with persistent AF receiving valvular surgery. The Paired specimens were sent for microarray comparison. Selected results were validated by quantitative real time-PCR (q-PCR) and Western blotting. Ultrastructural changes in the atria were evaluated by immunohistochemistry.

Regional transcriptomics of a human left atrium and implications for atrial fibrillation

Project description:Regional differential expression of atrial fibrillation risk genes in the left atrium and pulmonary veins is not well studied, but may yield insights into atrial fibrillation pathogenesis. We tested the hypothesis that there is significant regional differential expression in left atrium structures. RNAseq was performed in 25 regions within the pulmonary veins (n=12), left atrial body (n=10), and left atrial appendage (n=3) from a 75 year old male with hypertension and atrial fibrillation who died of a stroke. These data show that genes involved in atrial fibrillation pathogenesis have substantial regional expression heterogeneity, particularly when comparing the left atrial body, pulmonary veins and left atrial appendage.
