Project description:Defective valve and septa formation constitute a substantial part of congenital heart defects affecting the neonate or the adult. During cardiac development, restricted myocardial Bmp2 expression is a key signal for the specification and patterning of the valve-forming field in the atrio-ventricular canal (AVC) region and the initiation of the epithelial-mesenchyme transition (EMT) that gives rise to the valve primordia. We have generated a mouse transgenic line conditionally expressing Bmp2. Nkx2.5Cre-driven Bmp2 overexpression in the myocardium leads to foetal lethality, due to valve and chamber dysmorphogenesis, and rescue of the AVC specification defect of Bmp2-null embryos. Nkx2.5Cre/+;Bmp2tg/+ transgenic embryos show ventricular septal defect, thickened valves, enlarged trabeculae and dilated ventricles, whose endocardium is able to undergo EMT when explanted onto collagen gels. Gene profile and marker analysis indicates that cellular proliferation is increased and chamber differentiation and patterning is impaired in Nkx2.5Cre/+;Bmp2tg/+ embryos, but the ventricular-specific gene expression program is not abolished. We obtained similar results using a second myocardial driver (cTnTCre) to activate Bmp2 expression, but not with an endothelial-specific one (Tie2Cre), as Tie2Cre/+;Bmp2tg/+ mice are normal and survive to adulthood, indicating that Bmp2 must emanate from the myocardium to exert its EMT-driving and cardiomyocyte maturation blocking effect. Forced Bmp2 expression in vitro stimulates EBs proliferation and blocks their progression into cardiomyogenesis, an effect partially rescued by Noggin. These data show that widespread myocardial Bmp2 expression directs ectopic valve primordium formation and maintains chamber myocardium and early cardiac progenitors in a primitive, proliferative state, identifying Bmp2 as a potential factor for the expansion of immature cardiomyocytes.

Project description:Note this data set has identical data files: Files GSM40994.txt and GSM40995.txt. GSE2240 contains two different experimental subsets:; 1) Comparison of atrial and ventricular gene expression (atrial tissue of patients with sinus rhythm vs. human left ventricular non-failing myocardium); The purpose of our investigation was to identify the transcriptional basis for ultrastructural and functional specialization of human atria and ventricles. Using exploratory microarray analysis (Affymetrix U133A+B), we detected 11,740 transcripts expressed in human heart, representing the most comprehensive report of the human myocardial transcriptome to date. Variation in gene expression between atria and ventricles accounted for the largest differences in this data set, as 3.300 and 2.974 transcripts showed higher expression in atria and ventricles, respectively. Functional classification based on Gene Ontology identified chamber-specific patterns of gene expression and provided molecular insights into the regional specialization of cardiomyocytes, correlating important functional pathways to transcriptional activity: Ventricular myocytes preferentially express genes satisfying contractile and energetic requirements, while atrial myocytes exhibit specific transcriptional activities related to neurohumoral function. In addition, several pro-fibrotic and apoptotic pathways were concentrated in atrial myocardium, substantiating the higher susceptibility of atria to programmed cell death and extracellular matrix remodelling observed in human and experimental animal models of heart failure. Differences in transcriptional profiles of atrial and ventricular myocardium thus provide molecular insights into myocardial cell diversity and distinct region-specific adaptations to physiological and pathophysiological conditions (Barth AS et al., Eur J Physiol, 2005). 2) Comparison of atrial gene expression in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm. Atrial fibrillation is associated with increased expression of ventricular myosin isoforms in atrial myocardium, regarded as part of a dedifferentiation process. Whether re-expression of ventricular isoforms in atrial fibrillation is restricted to transcripts encoding for contractile proteins is unknown. Therefore, this study compares atrial mRNA expression in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation to atrial mRNA expression of patients with sinus rhythm as well as to ventricular gene expression using Affymetrix U133 arrays. In atrial myocardium, we identified 1.434 genes deregulated in atrial fibrillation, the majority of which, including key elements of calcium-dependent signaling pathways, displayed down-regulation. Functional classification based on Gene Ontology provided the specific gene sets of the interdependent processes of structural, contractile and electrophysiological remodeling. In addition, we demonstrate for the first time a prominent up-regulation of transcripts involved in metabolic activities, suggesting an adaptive response to an increased metabolic demand in fibrillating atrial myocardium. Ventricular-predominant genes were five times more likely to be up-regulated in atrial fibrillation (174 genes up-regulated, 35 genes down-regulated), while atrial-specific transcripts were predominantly down-regulated (56 genes up-regulated, 564 genes down-regulated). Overall, in atrial myocardium, functional classes of genes characteristic of ventricular myocardium were found to be up-regulated (e.g. metabolic processes) while functional classes predominantly expressed in atrial myocardium were down-regulated in atrial fibrillation (e.g. signal transduction and cell communication). Therefore, dedifferentiation with adoption of a ventricular-like signature is a general feature of the fibrillating atrium, uncovering the transcriptional response pattern in pmAF (Barth AS et al., Circ Res, 2005).

Project description:Heart failure is associated with high morbidity and mortality and its incidence increases worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are potential markers and targets for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, respectively. We determined myocardial and circulating miRNA abundance and its changes in patients with stable and end-stage heart failure before and at different time points after mechanical unloading by a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) by small-RNA-sequencing. MiRNA changes in failing heart tissues partially resembled that of fetal myocardium. Consistent with prototypical miRNAM-bM-^@M-^Starget-mRNA interactions, target mRNA levels were negatively correlated to changes in abundance for highly expressed miRNAs in heart failure and fetal hearts. The circulating small RNA profile was dominated by miRNAs, and fragments of tRNAs and small cytoplasmic RNAs. Heart- and muscle-specific circulating miRNAs (myomirs) increased up to 140-fold in advanced heart failure, which coincided with a similar increase in cardiac troponin I protein, the established marker for heart injury. These extracellular changes nearly completely reversed 3 months following initiation of LVAD support. In stable heart failure, circulating miRNAs showed less than 5-fold differences compared to normal, and myomir and cardiac troponin I levels were only captured near the detection limit. These findings provide the underpinning for miRNA-based therapies and emphasize the usefulness of circulating miRNAs as biomarkers for heart injury performing similar to established diagnostic protein biomarkers. Total RNA isolated from human left ventricular myocardium of failing hearts due to dilated or ischemic cardiomyopathy before and after mechanical unloading by a left ventricular assist device, and fetal myocardium compared to non-failing postnatal myocardium was subjected to multiplexed small RNA-sequencing on the Illumina platform. mRNA gene expression data using Illumina HumanHT-12v4 beadarrays for a subset of the myocardial samples is available (GSE52601).

Project description:Diet induced obesity in rat was associated with myocardial dysfunction, hypertension and fibrosis. This study aimed to explore microRNA expression profiles in diet obesity-induced rat myocardium. Wistar rats were feed normal chow or high-fat diet for 20 weeks. After that, cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography. Left ventricular myocardium was harvest to assess the extent of hypertension and fibrosis, meanwile, the left ventricular microRNA expression was analyzed using Agilent Rat miRNA microarray. Significant cardiac dysfunction, hypertension and fibrosis were found in diet-induced obesity rats as compared with normal diet rats. rno-miR-141-3p and rno-miR-144-3p were also significantly increased in myocardium of diet-induced obesity rat. These findings suggest that specific miRNA differences may contribute to the alteration in cardiac function, hypertension and fibrosis which responses to diet-induced obesity.

Project description:Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) Causes prominent ventricular trabeculations and reduces cardiac systolic function. The clinical presentation of LVNC ranges from asymptomatic to heart failure. We show that germline mutations in human MIB1 (mindbomb homolog 1), which encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes endocytosis of the NOTCH ligands DELTA and JAGGED, cause LVNC in autosomal-dominant pedigrees, with affected individuals showing reduced NOTCH1 activity and reduced expression of target genes. Functional studies in cells and zebrafish embryos and in silico modeling indicate that MIB1 functions as a dimer, which is disrupted by the human mutations. Targeted inactivation of Mib1 in mouse myocardium causes LVNC, a phenotype mimicked by inactivation of myocardial Jagged1 or endocardial Notch1. Myocardial Mib1 mutants show reduced ventricular Notch1 activity, expansion of compact myocardium to proliferative, immature trabeculae and abnormal expression of cardiac development and disease genes. These results implicate NOTCH signaling in LVNC and indicate that MIB1 mutations arrest chamber myocardium development, preventing trabecular maturation and compaction. RNA was isolated from the ventricles of 16 WT and 16 Mib1flox; CTnT-cre hearts at E14.5 and then pooled into four replicates.
