Proteomic analysis of donor and cardiomyopathy pre-mortem human hearts
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Our understanding of heart failure (HF) has been provided by indirect surrogates, such as post-mortem histology, cardiovascular imaging, and molecular characterisation in vivo and in vitro, rather than directly in pre-mortem human cardiac tissue. Using our heart bank of pre-mortem hearts procured according to the most stringent protocols, we examined ischemic (ICM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) -- the most common causes of HF and leading causes of cardiac transplantation1. We performed unbiased, comprehensive, paired proteomic and metabolomic analysis of 51 left ventricular (LV) samples from 44 cryopreserved pre-mortem human ICM and DCM hearts, including age-matched, healthy, histopathologically-normal donor controls of both genders for comparison. Data integration via pathway and correlation network analysis revealed overlapping and divergent disease pathways in ICM and DCM, and, strikingly, precise sex-specific differences within each disease that unveil the interaction of gender with HF. Identified core functional nodes in each disease may serve as novel therapeutic targets, and we provide all proteomic and metabolomic results via an interactive online repository (https://mengboli.shinyapps.io/heartomics/) as a publicly available resource.
