Project description:Left and right heart atria of adult male mice were profiled to determine the differences in gene expression, control, coordination and signaling fabrics
Project description:Left and right heart atria of adult male mice were profiled to determine the differences in gene expression, control, coordination and signaling fabrics Two-sides (L= left, R = right) gene expression profiling experiment in adult mouse male (M) atria (A). 4 biological replicates: MAL1-4, MAR1-4. This experiment used our standard multiple yellow strategy in which Cy3 and Cy5 labeled biological replicates are cohybridized with a two-color array and each channel is processed independently.
Project description:Left and right heart ventricles of adult male mice were profiled to determine the differences in gene expression, control, coordination and signaling fabrics Two-sides (L= left, R = right) gene expression profiling experiment in adult mouse male (M) ventricles (V). 4 biological replicates: MVL1-4, MVR1-4.
Project description:The right and left atria have different susceptibilities towards developing arrhythmias, with left atrial arrhythmias more commonly observed. To study potential underlying causes of this difference between the two upper chambers of the heart, four human left-right atrial pairs were subjected to whole-genome expression analyses via next generation sequencing of small RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs), and polyA enriched mRNAs. Using a paired sample design, significant differences in gene expression were found between the left and right atria in both the poly-A and small RNA fractions. Hsa-miR-143 was the most highly expressed miRNA in the atria as quantified by RNA-seq. Gene expression differences established during development are retained into adulthood including that of PITX2 and BMP10. In addition ten novel non-coding RNAs were found to be differentially expressed between the left and right atrias .

Project description:We report the mRNA sequencing of right and left atria from an adult inducible, cardiomyocyte-specific Notch gain-of-function mouse model (iNICD). Using the tetracycline-on system, we activated Notch by feeding doxycycline chow for 3 weeks to mice that were at least 8 weeks old. We asked what transcriptional changes occur in right versus left atrial cardiomyocytes in response to the same stimulus (Notch signaling). mRNA sequencing on separated right and left atria revealed that there are more differentially dysregulated transcripts (1,011) than similarly regulated transcripts (447) in the right and left atria, which is a simiar paradigm as what occurs in human atrial cardiomyocytes of patients with atrial fibrillation.
Project description:Background: Although chamber specialization is critical for proper cardiac function, a comprehensive, genome-wide analysis of the cardiac transcriptome, including identification of regional differences in mRNA and lncRNA expression patterns for the four chambers and interventricular septum of the non-failing human heart, has not been performed. Methods and Results: mRNA and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) transcriptional profiling of the left (LA) and right (RA) atria, left (LV) and right (RV) ventricles, and the interventricular septum (IVS) of non-failing human hearts (N=8) was performed by deep sequencing. Analysis of the mRNA and lncRNA expression profiles revealed that the different regions of the heart are distinct. Differential expression analysis of paired tissue samples identified 5,747 mRNAs and 2,794 lncRNAs with chamber-enriched expression patterns. The largest differences in mRNA and lncRNA expression were evident between atria and ventricular samples, including regional differences in ~20% of all cardiac expressed mRNA and lncRNA transcripts. Regional differences in mRNA and lncRNA expression were also evident, although to a lesser extent, between the LA and RA, and between the LV, RV and IVS. Gene ontology classification of differentially expressed gene sets revealed regional differences in chamber specialization, including differences in signaling, metabolism, and muscle contraction. Sex differences in mRNA and lncRNA gene expression profiles were also identified between male and female LA and RA samples. Conclusions: There are marked regional differences in the mRNA and lncRNA expression profiles in non-failing adult human heart, and are associated with chamber specialization.
Project description:Using Multiome and previously published sc/snRNA-seq data, we studied eight anatomical regions of the human heart including left and right ventricular free walls (LV and RV), left and right atria (LA and RA), left ventricular apex (AX), interventricular septum (SP), sino-atrial node (SAN) and atrioventricular node (AVN). For the first time, we profile the cells of the human cardiac conduction system, revealing their distinctive repertoire of ion channels, G-protein coupled receptors and cell-cell interactions. We map the identified cells to spatial transcriptomic data to discover cellular niches within the eight regions of the heart.
