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.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and a major risk factor for stroke, often arises through ectopic electrical impulses derived from the pulmonary veins (PV). Sequence variants in enhancers controlling expression of the transcription factor PITX2, which is expressed in the cardiomyocytes (CMs) of the PV and left atrium (LA), have been implicated in AF predisposition. Single nuclei multiomic profiling of RNA and analysis of chromatin accessibility combined with spectral clustering uncovered distinct PV- and LA-enriched CM cell states. Pitx2 mutant PV and LA CMs exhibited gene expression changes consistent with cardiac dysfunction through cell-type-distinct, PITX2-directed, cis-regulatory grammars controlling target gene expression. The perturbed network targets in each CM were enriched in distinct human AF-predisposition genes, suggesting combinatorial risk for AF-genesis. Our data further reveals that PV and LA Pitx2 mutant CMs signal to endothelial and endocardial cells through BMP10 signaling with pathogenic potential. This work provides a multiomic framework for interrogating the basis of AF-predisposition in the PV of humans.

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.

Project description:Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and affects around 1% of the population with increasing incidence and substantial morbidity. Functional effects of genetic variants associated with AF should help to identify targets involved in AF initiation and/or subsequent remodeling. Gene variants next to the gene of the transcription factor PITX2 (paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2) showed the strongest association with AF. A significant number of AF patients showed reduced PITX2 levels in the left atrium. Mouse models have been used to study functional aspects of PITX2 gene deletion (“knock out”), but there are substantial differences in atrial electrophysiology between mouse and human . HiPSC-CM should be able to bridge the gap, provided the cells reproduce typical characteristics of human atrium. Methods: PITX2 knock out samples from a control cell line of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) were obtained. Differentiation and generation of Atrial-like engineered heart tissue (aEHT) was performed. RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq), Quantitative Real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), Protein analysis by Western Blot, Contraction and force analysis, action potential measurements, Calcium current measurements and differential gene expression analysis were run on the samples. Results: Effective knock out of PITX2 was confirmed by mRNA sequencing and WB. It was shown that PITX2 deficiency reduces contraction force. PITX2 deficiency induces action potential triangulation with more negative maximum diastolic potential. Activation of muscarinic receptors shortens APD in both PITX2 knockout and controls but hyperpolarization is lost in PITX2 knock out. It was shown that Ca2+ current density is smaller in PITX2 knock out than controls. We found that more negative MDP in PITX2 knock out is not associated with higher IK1. Conclusion: We improved atrial differentiation, coming very close to human atrial electrophysiology. We demonstrate that PITX2 deficiency induces key characteristics known from persistent AF.

At each time point, three cotrols and three mutants were collected as biological replicates. cDNA microarray analysis was performed using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA).

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.
