Unraveling the Etiology of Dilated Cardiomyopathy through Differential miRNA-mRNA Interactome. Biomolecules 2024; 14:524. [PMID: 38785931 PMCID: PMC11117812 DOI: 10.3390/biom14050524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) encompasses various acquired or genetic diseases sharing a common phenotype. The understanding of pathogenetic mechanisms and the determination of the functional effects of each etiology may allow for tailoring different therapeutic strategies. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key regulators in cardiovascular diseases, including DCM. However, their specific roles in different DCM etiologies remain elusive. Here, we applied mRNA-seq and miRNA-seq to identify the gene and miRNA signature from myocardial biopsies from four patients with DCM caused by volume overload (VCM) and four with ischemic DCM (ICM). Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were used for differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The miRNA-mRNA interactions were identified by Pearson correlation analysis and miRNA target-prediction programs. mRNA-seq and miRNA-seq were validated by qRT-PCR and miRNA-mRNA interactions were validated by luciferase assays. We found 112 mRNAs and five miRNAs dysregulated in VCM vs. ICM. DEGs were positively enriched for pathways related to the extracellular matrix (ECM), mitochondrial respiration, cardiac muscle contraction, and fatty acid metabolism in VCM vs. ICM and negatively enriched for immune-response-related pathways, JAK-STAT, and NF-kappa B signaling. We identified four pairs of negatively correlated miRNA-mRNA: miR-218-5p-DDX6, miR-218-5p-TTC39C, miR-218-5p-SEMA4A, and miR-494-3p-SGMS2. Our study revealed novel miRNA-mRNA interaction networks and signaling pathways for VCM and ICM, providing novel insights into the development of these DCM etiologies.

Abstract
Biomedical single-cell atlases describe disease at the cellular level. However, analysis of this data commonly focuses on cell-type-centric pairwise cross-condition comparisons, disregarding the multicellular nature of disease processes. Here, we propose multicellular factor analysis for the unsupervised analysis of samples from cross-condition single-cell atlases and the identification of multicellular programs associated with disease. Our strategy, which repurposes group factor analysis as implemented in multi-omics factor analysis, incorporates the variation of patient samples across cell-types or other tissue-centric features, such as cell compositions or spatial relationships, and enables the joint analysis of multiple patient cohorts, facilitating the integration of atlases. We applied our framework to a collection of acute and chronic human heart failure atlases and described multicellular processes of cardiac remodeling, independent to cellular compositions and their local organization, that were conserved in independent spatial and bulk transcriptomics datasets. In sum, our framework serves as an exploratory tool for unsupervised analysis of cross-condition single-cell atlases and allows for the integration of the measurements of patient cohorts across distinct data modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A large portion of idiopathic and familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) cases have no obvious causal genetic variant. Although altered response to metabolic stress has been implicated, the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of DCM remain elusive. The JMJD family proteins, initially identified as histone deacetylases, have been shown to be involved in many cardiovascular diseases. Despite their increasingly diverse functions, whether JMJD family members play a role in DCM remains unclear. METHODS We examined Jmjd4 expression in patients with DCM, and conditionally deleted and overexpressed Jmjd4 in cardiomyocytes in vivo to investigate its role in DCM. RNA sequencing, metabolites profiling, and mass spectrometry were used to dissect the molecular mechanism of Jmjd4-regulating cardiac metabolism and hypertrophy. RESULTS We found that expression of Jmjd4 is significantly decreased in hearts of patients with DCM. Induced cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of Jmjd4 led to spontaneous DCM with severely impaired mitochondrial respiration. Pkm2, the less active pyruvate kinase compared with Pkm1, which is normally absent in healthy adult cardiomyocytes but elevated in cardiomyopathy, was found to be drastically accumulated in hearts with Jmjd4 deleted. Jmjd4 was found mechanistically to interact with Hsp70 to mediate degradation of Pkm2 through chaperone-mediated autophagy, which is dependent on hydroxylation of K66 of Pkm2 by Jmjd4. By enhancing the enzymatic activity of the abundant but less active Pkm2, TEPP-46, a Pkm2 agonist, showed a significant therapeutic effect on DCM induced by Jmjd4 deficiency, and heart failure induced by pressure overload, as well. CONCLUSIONS Our results identified a novel role of Jmjd4 in maintaining metabolic homeostasis in adult cardiomyocytes by degrading Pkm2 and suggest that Jmjd4 and Pkm2 may be therapeutically targeted to treat DCM, and other cardiac diseases with metabolic dysfunction, as well.

Association of Social Isolation and Loneliness With Incident Heart Failure in a Population-Based Cohort Study. JACC. HEART FAILURE 2023; 11:334-344. [PMID: 36737310 PMCID: PMC9891238 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchf.2022.11.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2022] [Revised: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Social isolation and loneliness have emerged as important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, particularly during the coronavirus disease pandemic. However, it is unclear whether social isolation and loneliness had independent and joint associations with incident heart failure (HF). OBJECTIVES This study sought to examine the association of social isolation, loneliness, and their combination with incident HF. METHODS The UK Biobank study is a population-based cohort study. Social isolation and loneliness were assessed using self-reported questionnaires. HF cases were identified by linking hospital records and death registries. The weighted polygenic risk score associated with HF was calculated. RESULTS Among the 464,773 participants (mean age: 56.5 ± 8.1 years, 45.3% male), 12,898 incident HF cases were documented during a median follow-up of 12.3 years. Social isolation (most vs least: adjusted HR: 1.17; 95% CI:1.11-1.23) and loneliness (yes vs no: adjusted HR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.11-1.27) were significantly associated with an increased risk of incident HF. The association between an elevated risk of HF and social isolation was modified by loneliness (Pinteraction = 0.034). A gradient of association between social isolation and the risk of incident HF was found only among individuals without loneliness (Ptrend < 0.001), but not among those with loneliness (Ptrend = 0.829). These associations were independent of the genetic risk of HF. CONCLUSIONS Social isolation and loneliness were independently associated with a higher likelihood of incident HF regardless of genetic risk. The association between social isolation and incident HF was potentially modified by loneliness status.

Abstract
Background We aimed to determine the associations of childhood maltreatment with incident heart failure in later life and explore the potentially modifying effects of genetic risk for heart failure on the associations. Methods and Results This cohort study included adults free of heart failure at baseline enrolled between 2006 and 2010 in the UK Biobank. Childhood maltreatment was retrospectively assessed with the online Childhood Trauma Screener in 2016. Five types of childhood maltreatment (range, 0-5), including physical abuse, physical neglect, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and sexual abuse, were combined into a total score. A weighted polygenic risk score for heart failure was constructed. Incident all-cause heart failure was prospectively ascertained via hospital inpatient and death records, followed up to May 31, 2021. A total of 153 287 adults (mean [SD] age, 55.9 [7.7] years; 43.6% male) were included. Over a median of 12.2 years (interquartile range, 11.5-12.9 years) of follow-up, 2352 participants had incident heart failure. Childhood maltreatment was associated with a greater risk of incident heart failure in a dose-response manner. One additional type of childhood maltreatment was associated with a 15% increase in the risk of developing heart failure (hazard ratio [HR], 1.15 [95% CI, 1.07-1.23]). There was no statistically significant interaction between genetic risk and childhood maltreatment (Pinteraction=0.218). Among participants with high genetic risk, those with 3 to 5 types of childhood maltreatment had a double hazard (HR, 2.00 [95% CI, 1.43-2.80]) of developing heart failure when taking those without any childhood maltreatment as the reference. Conclusions Irrespective of genetic risk for heart failure, childhood maltreatment was associated with an increased risk of incident heart failure in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death across the world. For decades, researchers have been studying the causes of cardiovascular disease, yet many of them remain undiscovered or poorly understood. Network medicine is a recently expanding, integrative field that attempts to elucidate this issue by conceiving of disease as the result of disruptive links between multiple interconnected biological components. Still in its nascent stages, this revolutionary application of network science facilitated a number of important discoveries in complex disease mechanisms. As methodologies become more advanced, network medicine harbors the potential to expound on the molecular and genetic complexities of disease to differentiate how these intricacies govern disease manifestations, prognosis, and therapy. This is of paramount importance for confronting the incredible challenges of current and future cardiovascular disease research. In this review, we summarize the principal molecular and genetic mechanisms of common cardiac pathophysiologies as well as discuss the existing knowledge on therapeutic strategies to prevent, halt, or reverse these pathologies.

Abstract
Diabetes-related health issues are increasing day by day in public, and diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one serious issue among them. There is a lack of proper strategy to control and manage DCM. Here we are attempting a nutraceutical-based approach to protect the heart from DCM. The beneficial effect of cinnamic acid (CiA), was evaluated in an experimental model of diabetes. For this, diabetic model was created by feeding male Wistar rats with a high fat, high fructose diet for 6 months and a single dose of streptozotocin (25 mg/kg bwt). Metformin was used as the positive control. The diabetic rats showed insulin resistance, myocardial injury, and a significant increase of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL. Development of DCM was evident from the increased cardiac mass index, LDH, CKMB, ANP, and CRP levels in the diabetic group. There was a significant increase in the levels of cardiac hypertrophy markers like TGF-β and β-MHC in the hearts of diabetic rats revealing DCM. Pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) and lipid peroxides were significantly elevated in the serum of diabetic rats. Histopathology revealed inflammation and necrosis in the heart of diabetic rats confirming DCM. Oral administration of CiA (5 and 10 mg/kg bwt) prevented the development of DCM via its cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-dyslipidemia potential, and antidiabetic properties. Similarly, metformin (50 mg/kg bwt) has also shown protection against DCM. We conclude from this study that CiA is found to be beneficial against DCM and recommend more detailed preclinical and clinical studies to develop CiA-based nutraceutical against DCM.

Abstract
Background The myocardial cytoskeleton functions as the fundamental framework critical for organelle function, bioenergetics and myocardial remodeling. To date, impairment of the myocardial cytoskeleton occurring in the failing heart in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease has been largely undescribed. Methods and Results We conducted a 3-arm cross-sectional cohort study of explanted human heart tissues from patients who are dependent on hemodialysis (n=19), hypertension (n=10) with preserved renal function, and healthy controls (n=21). Left ventricular tissues were subjected to pathologic examination and next-generation RNA sequencing. Mechanistic and interference RNA studies utilizing in vitro human cardiac fibroblast models were performed. Left ventricular tissues from patients undergoing hemodialysis exhibited increased myocardial wall thickness and significantly greater fibrosis compared with hypertension patients (P<0.05) and control (P<0.01). Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the focal adhesion pathway was significantly enriched in hearts from patients undergoing hemodialysis. Hearts from patients undergoing hemodialysis exhibited dysregulated components of the focal adhesion pathway including reduced β-actin (P<0.01), β-tubulin (P<0.01), vimentin (P<0.05), and increased expression of vinculin (P<0.05) compared with controls. Cytoskeletal adaptations in hearts from the hemodialysis group were associated with impaired mitochondrial bioenergetics, including dysregulated mitochondrial dynamics and fusion, and loss of cell survival pathways. Mechanistic studies revealed that cytoskeletal changes can be driven by uremic and metabolic abnormalities of chronic kidney disease, in vitro. Furthermore, focal adhesion kinase silencing via interference RNA suppressed major cytoskeletal proteins synergistically with mineral stressors found in chronic kidney disease in vitro. Conclusions Myocardial failure in advanced chronic kidney disease is characterized by impairment of the cytoskeleton involving disruption of the focal adhesion pathway, mitochondrial failure, and loss of cell survival pathways.

Gaddam RR, Kim Y, Jacobs JS, Yoon J, Li Q, Cai A, Shankaiahgari H, London B, Irani K, Vikram A. The microRNA-204-5p inhibits APJ signalling and confers resistance to cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction. Clin Transl Med 2022; 12:e693. [PMID: 35060347 PMCID: PMC8777385 DOI: 10.1002/ctm2.693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2021] [Revised: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs regulate cardiac hypertrophy development, which precedes and predicts the risk of heart failure. microRNA-204-5p (miR-204) is well expressed in cardiomyocytes, but its role in developing cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac dysfunction (CH/CD) remains poorly understood. METHODS We performed RNA-sequencing, echocardiographic, and molecular/morphometric analysis of the heart of mice lacking or overexpressing miR-204 five weeks after trans-aortic constriction (TAC). The neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, H9C2, and HEK293 cells were used to determine the mechanistic role of miR-204. RESULTS The stretch induces miR-204 expression, and miR-204 inhibits the stretch-induced hypertrophic response of H9C2 cells. The mice lacking miR-204 displayed a higher susceptibility to CH/CD during pressure overload, which was reversed by the adeno-associated virus serotype-9-mediated cardioselective miR-204 overexpression. Bioinformatic analysis of the cardiac transcriptomics of miR-204 knockout mice following pressure overload suggested deregulation of apelin-receptor (APJ) signalling. We found that the stretch-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) activation and hypertrophy-related genes expression depend on the APJ, and both of these effects are subject to miR-204 levels. The dynamin inhibitor dynasore inhibited both stretch-induced APJ endocytosis and ERK1/2 activation. In contrast, the miR-204-induced APJ endocytosis was neither inhibited by dynamin inhibitors (dynasore and dyngo) nor associated with ERK1/2 activation. We find that the miR-204 increases the expression of ras-associated binding proteins (e.g., Rab5a, Rab7) that regulate cellular endocytosis. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that miR-204 regulates trafficking of APJ and confers resistance to pressure overload-induced CH/CD, and boosting miR-204 can inhibit the development of CH/CD.

Roles and mechanisms of exosomal non-coding RNAs in human health and diseases. Signal Transduct Target Ther 2021; 6:383.

Abstract
Exosomes play a role as mediators of cell-to-cell communication, thus exhibiting pleiotropic activities to homeostasis regulation. Exosomal non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), mainly microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), are closely related to a variety of biological and functional aspects of human health. When the exosomal ncRNAs undergo tissue-specific changes due to diverse internal or external disorders, they can cause tissue dysfunction, aging, and diseases. In this review, we comprehensively discuss the underlying regulatory mechanisms of exosomes in human diseases. In addition, we explore the current knowledge on the roles of exosomal miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs in human health and diseases, including cancers, metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases, to determine their potential implication in biomarker identification and therapeutic exploration.

Abstract
The number of therapies for heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction has nearly doubled in the past decade. In addition, new therapies for HF caused by hypertrophic and infiltrative disease are emerging rapidly. Indeed, we are on the verge of a new era in HF in which insights into the biology of myocardial disease can be matched to an understanding of the genetic predisposition in an individual patient to inform precision approaches to therapy. In this Review, we summarize the biology of HF, emphasizing the causal relationships between genetic contributors and traditional structure-based remodelling outcomes, and highlight the mechanisms of action of traditional and novel therapeutics. We discuss the latest advances in our understanding of both the Mendelian genetics of cardiomyopathy and the complex genetics of the clinical syndrome presenting as HF. In the phenotypic domain, we discuss applications of machine learning for the subcategorization of HF in ways that might inform rational prescribing of medications. We aim to bridge the gap between the biology of the failing heart, its diverse clinical presentations and the range of medications that we can now use to treat it. We present a roadmap for the future of precision medicine in HF.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy, in its aspects of localized thickening of the interventricular septum and concentric increase of the left ventricle, constitutes a risk factor of heart failure. Myocardial hypertrophy, in the presence of different degree of myocardial fibrosis, is paralleled by significant molecular, cellular, and histological changes inducing alteration of cardiac extracellular matrix composition as well as sarcomeres and cytoskeleton remodeling. Previous studies indicate osteopontin (OPN) and more recently survivin (SURV) overexpression as the hallmarks of heart failure although SURV function in the heart is not completely clarified. In this study, we investigated the involvement of SURV in intracellular signaling of hypertrophic cardiomyocytes and the impact of its transcriptional silencing, laying the foundation for novel target gene therapy in cardiac hypertrophy. Oligonucleotide-based molecules, like theranostic optical nanosensors (molecular beacons) and siRNAs, targeting SURV and OPN mRNAs, were developed. Their diagnostic and therapeutic potential was evaluated in vitro in hypertrophic FGF23-induced human cardiomyocytes and in vivo in transverse aortic constriction hypertrophic mouse model. Engineered erythrocyte was used as shuttle to selectively target and transfer siRNA molecules into unhealthy cardiac cells in vivo. The results highlight how the SURV knockdown could negatively influence the expression of genes involved in myocardial fibrosis in vitro and restores structural, functional, and morphometric features in vivo. Together, these data suggested that SURV is a key factor in inducing cardiomyocytes hypertrophy, and its shutdown is crucial in slowing disease progression as well as reversing cardiac hypertrophy. In the perspective, targeted delivery of siRNAs through engineered erythrocytes can represent a promising therapeutic strategy to treat cardiac hypertrophy. Theranostic SURV molecular beacon (MB-SURV), transfected into FGF23-induced hypertrophic human cardiomyocytes, significantly dampened SURV overexpression. SURV down-regulation determines the tuning down of MMP9, TIMP1 and TIMP4 extracellular matrix remodeling factors while induces the overexpression of the cardioprotective MCAD factor, which counterbalance the absence of pro-survival and anti-apoptotic SURV activity to protect cardiomyocytes from death. In transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mouse model, the SURV silencing restores the LV mass levels to values not different from the sham group and counteracts the progressive decline of EF, maintaining its values always higher with respect to TAC group. These data demonstrate the central role of SURV in the cardiac reverse remodeling and its therapeutic potential to reverse cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Ranked in the topmost position among the deadliest diseases in the world, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a global burden with alterations in heart and blood vessels. Early diagnostics and prognostics could be the best possible solution in CVD management. OMICS (genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics) approaches could be able to tackle the challenges against CVDs. Genome-wide association studies along with next-generation sequencing with various computational biology tools could lead a new sight in early detection and possible therapeutics of CVDs. Human cardiac proteins are also characterized by mass spectrophotometry which could open the scope of proteomics approaches in CVD. Besides this, regulation of gene expression by transcriptomics approaches exhibits a new insight while metabolomics is the endpoint on the downstream of multi-omics approaches to confront CVDs from the early onset. Although a lot of challenges needed to overcome in CVD management, OMICS approaches are certainly a new prospect.

Abstract
Targeted prevention of heart failure (HF) remains a critical need given the high prevalence of HF morbidity and mortality. Similar to risk-based prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, optimal HF prevention strategies should include quantification of risk in the individual patient. In this review, we discuss incorporation of a quantitative risk-based approach into the existing HF staging landscape and the clinical opportunity that exists to translate available data on risk estimation to help guide personalized decision making. We first summarize the recent development of key HF risk prediction tools that can be applied broadly at a population level to estimate risk of incident HF. Next, we provide an in-depth description of the clinical utility of biomarkers to personalize risk estimation in select patients at the highest risk of developing HF. We also discuss integration of genomics-enhanced approaches (eg, Titin [TTN]) and other risk-enhancing features to reclassify risk with a precision medicine approach to HF prevention. Although sequential testing is very likely to identify low and high-risk individuals with excellent accuracy, whether or not interventions based on these risk models prevent HF in clinical practice requires prompt attention including randomized placebo-controlled trials of candidate therapies in risk-enriched populations. We conclude with a summary of unanswered questions and gaps in evidence that must be addressed to move the field of HF risk assessment forward.

Abstract
Background Heart failure (HF) is an end stage heart condition with poor prognosis which brings about tremendous social medical cost. Along decades, mechanism and treatments of HF have been under restless research. Methods In the present study, we first established pressure overload induced HF model using transaortic arch constriction (TAC) method in mice. The global expression profiles of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) were obtained by microarray probes, which were further confirmed by quantitative PCR (qPCR). Bioinformatics analysis was performed using multiple methods including volcano plotting, heatmapping and hierarchical clustering, Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis, and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network construction. Results Totally, 1,139 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs), 3,830 lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and 13 miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were identified in HF group compared to control group, which could distinctly differentiate HF from normal control and were potential candidate biomarkers for HF. GO and pathway enrichment analysis revealed that multiple significant biological processes and pathways were involved in HF pathogenesis, such as extracellular matrix structural constituent, proteinaceous extracellular matrix, positive regulation of apoptotic process and integrin signaling pathway. Nine DElncRNAs, 3 DEmiRNAs and 25 DEmRNAs were filtrated out to construct a ceRNA network, which visually displayed their regulatory roles with therapeutic target potential. Conclusions The present study identified differentially expressed RNAs that might be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of HF. The outcomes shed lights into the underlying mechanisms for HF and provided candidate biomarkers and intervention targets for further research.

Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that MMP-9-/-tPA-/- double knock out (i.e., MTDKO) plays a crucial role in the prognostic outcome after acute myocardial infarction (AMI by ligation of left-coronary-artery) in MTDKO mouse. Animals were categorized into sham-operated controls in MTDKO animals (group 1) and in wild type (B6: group 2), AMI-MTDKO (group 3) and AMI-B6 (group 4) animals. They were euthanized, and the ischemic myocardium was harvested, by day 60 post AMI. The mortality rate was significantly higher in group 3 than in other groups and significantly higher in group 4 than in groups 1/2, but it showed no difference in the latter two groups (all p < 0.01). By day 28, the left-ventricular (LV) ejection fraction displayed an opposite pattern, whereas by day 60, the gross anatomic infarct size displayed an identical pattern of mortality among the four groups (all p < 0.001). The ratio of heart weight to tibial length and the lung injury score exhibited an identical pattern of mortality (p < 0.01). The protein expressions of apoptosis (mitochondrial-Bax/cleaved-caspase3/cleaved-PARP), fibrosis (Smad3/T-GF-ß), oxidative stress (NOX-1/NOX-2/oxidized-protein), inflammation (MMPs2,9/TNF-α/p-NF-κB), heart failure/pressure overload (BNP/ß-MHC) and mitochondrial/DNA damage (cytosolic-cytochrome-C/γ-H2AX) biomarkers displayed identical patterns, whereas the angiogenesis markers (small vessel number/CD31+cells in LV myocardium) displayed opposite patterns of mortality among the groups (all p < 0.0001). The microscopic findings of fibrotic/collagen deposition/infarct areas and inflammatory cell infiltration of LV myocardium were similar to the mortality among the four groups (all p < 0.0001). MTDKO strongly predicted unfavorable prognostic outcome after AMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Left-sided heart failure (HF) is documented as a key prognostic factor in HF. However, the relative molecular mechanisms underlying left-sided HF is unknown. The purpose of this study is to unearth significant modules, pivotal genes and candidate regulatory components governing the progression of left-sided HF by bioinformatical analysis. METHODS A total of 319 samples in GSE57345 dataset were used for weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA). ClusterProfiler package in R was used to conduct functional enrichment for genes uncovered from the modules of interest. Regulatory networks of genes were built using Cytoscape while Enrichr database was used for identification of transcription factors (TFs). The MCODE plugin was used for identifying hub genes in the modules of interest and their validation was performed based on GSE1869 dataset. RESULTS A total of six significant modules were identified. Notably, the blue module was confirmed as the most crucially associated with left-sided HF, ischemic heart disease (ISCH) and dilated cardiomyopathy (CMP). Functional enrichment conveyed that genes belonging to this module were mainly those driving the extracellular matrix-associated processes such as extracellular matrix structural constituent and collagen binding. A total of seven transcriptional factors, including Suppressor of Zeste 12 Protein Homolog (SUZ12) and nuclear factor erythroid 2 like 2 (NFE2L2), adrenergic receptor (AR), were identified as possible regulators of coexpression genes identified in the blue module. A total of three key genes (OGN, HTRA1 and MXRA5) were retained after validation of their prognostic value in left-sided HF. The results of functional enrichment confirmed that these key genes were primarily involved in response to transforming growth factor beta and extracellular matrix. CONCLUSION We uncovered a candidate gene signature correlated with HF, ISCH and CMP in the left ventricle, which may help provide better prognosis and therapeutic decisions and in HF, ISCH and CMP patients.

Abstract
With the continuous development of RNA biology and massive genome-wide transcriptome analysis, more and more RNA molecules and their functions have been explored in the last decade. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that RNA-related regulatory networks play an important role in a variety of human diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. In this review, we focus on RNA regulatory networks in heart disease, most of which are devastating conditions with no known cure. We systemically summarize recent discoveries of important new components of RNA regulatory networks, including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, as well as multiple regulators that affect the activity of these networks in cardiac physiology and pathology. In addition, this review covers emerging micropeptides, which represent short open reading frames (sORFs) in long non-coding RNA transcripts that may modulate cardiac physiology. Based on the current knowledge of RNA regulatory networks, we think that ongoing discoveries will not only provide us a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie heart disease, but will also identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that intake of polyphenols through the consumption of vegetables and fruits reduces the risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) by potentially influencing endothelial cell function. OBJECTIVE In this review, the effects and molecular mechanisms of plant polyphenols, particularly resveratrol, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and quercetin, on endothelial functions, and their putative protective effects against CVD are described. METHODS Epidemiologic studies examined the effect of the CVD risk of vegetables and the fruit. Furthermore, studies within vitro models investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms of the action of the flavonoid class of polyphenols. These findings help elucidate the effect of polyphenols on endothelial function and CVD risk reduction. RESULTS Epidemiologic and in vitro studies have demonstrated that the consumption of vegetables and fruits decreases the incidence of CVDs. Furthermore, it has also been indicated that dietary polyphenols are inversely related to the risk of CVD. Resveratrol, EGCG, and quercetin prevent oxidative stress by regulating the expression of oxidase and the antioxidant enzyme genes, contributing to the prevention of stroke, hypertension, heart failure, and ischemic heart disease. CONCLUSION High intake of dietary polyphenols may help prevent CVD. Polyphenols inhibit endothelial dysfunction and induce vascular endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation viz. redox regulation and nitric oxide production. The polyphenol-induced healthy endothelial cell function may be related to CVD prevention.

Abstract
Aging is a progressive loss of physiological integrity and functionality process which increases susceptibility and mortality to diseases. Vascular aging is a specific type of organic aging. The structure and function changes of endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the main cause of vascular aging, which could influence the threshold, process, and severity of vascular related diseases. Accumulating evidences demonstrate that exosomes serve as novel intercellular information communicator between cell to cell by delivering variety biologically active cargos, especially exosomal non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are associated with most of aging-related biological and functional disorders. In this review, we will summerize the emerging roles and mechanisms of exosomal ncRNAs in vascular aging and vascular aging related diseases, focusing on the role of exosomal miRNAs and lncRNAs in regulating the functions of ECs and VSMCs. Moreover, the relationship between the ECs and VSMCs linked by exosomes, the potential diagnostic and therapeutic application of exosomes in vascular aging and the clinical evaluation and treatment of vascular aging and vascular aging related diseases will also be discussed.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are important for cardiac remodeling. Recently, microRNA (miR)-451a has been found to inhibit the expression of both MMP-2 and MMP-9 in human malignancies, but its role in cardiomyocytes has not been explored. We hypothesized that miR-451a modulates MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels in human cardiomyocytes. The role of miR-451a on regulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was evaluated in two separate pathological models using Cor.4U human inducible pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPS-CMs): 1) endothelin-1 (ET-1), and 2) 48-h hypoxia (1% O2). Both models were transfected with synthetic miR-451a mimics or scramble control. Expression of both mRNA and miR was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and protein activity by (MMP-2/9) activity assay. Bioinformatic analyses were performed using Targetscan 7.1 and STRING 10.5. hiPS-CMs stimulated by hypoxia increased both MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression levels compared with normoxia (P < 0.05), whereas ET-1 stimulation only increased the MMP-9 level compared with vehicle controls (P < 0.05). miR-451a mimics prevented the increase of MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression in both models. Protein activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was confirmed to be lower following treatment with miR-451a mimic compared with scramble-controls. Six of 28 predicted gene transcripts of miR-451a were linked to MMP-2 and MMP-9; Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) was the only predicted target of miR-451a that was increased by ET-1 and hypoxia and reduced following miR-451a mimic transfection. miR-451a prevent the increase of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in human cardiomyocytes during pathological stress. The modulation by miR-451a on MMP-2 and MMP-9 is caused by MIF.

Abstract
Given the global burden of heart failure, strategies to understand the underlying cause or to provide prognostic information are critical to reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with this highly prevalent disease. Cardiomyopathies often have a genetic cause, and the field of heart failure genetics is progressing rapidly. Through a deliberate investigation, evaluation for a familial component of cardiomyopathy can lead to increased identification of pathogenic genetic variants. Much research has also been focused on identifying markers of risk in patients with cardiomyopathy with the use of genetic testing. Advances in our understanding of genetic variants have been slightly offset by an increased recognition of the heterogeneity of disease expression. Greater breadth of genetic testing can increase the likelihood of identifying a variant of uncertain significance, which is resolved only rarely by cellular functional validation and segregation analysis. To increase the use of genetics in heart failure clinics, increased availability of genetic counsellors and other providers with experience in genetics is necessary. Ultimately, through ongoing research and increased clinical experience in cardiomyopathy genetics, an improved understanding of the disease processes will facilitate better clinical decision-making about the therapies offered, exemplifying the implementation of precision medicine.

Abstract
Anthracyclines cause progressive cardiotoxicity whose ultimate severity is individual to the patient. Genetic determinants contributing to this variation are difficult to study using current mouse models. Our objective was to determine whether a spectrum of anthracycline induced cardiac disease can be elicited across 10 Collaborative Cross mouse strains given the same dose of doxorubicin. Mice from ten distinct strains were given 5 mg/kg of doxorubicin intravenously once weekly for 5 weeks (total 25 mg/kg). Mice were killed at acute or chronic timepoints. Body weight was assessed weekly, followed by terminal complete blood count, pathology and a panel of biomarkers. Linear models were fit to assess effects of treatment, sex, and sex-by-treatment interactions for each timepoint. Impaired growth and cardiac pathology occurred across all strains. Severity of these varied by strain and sex, with greater severity in males. Cardiac troponin I and myosin light chain 3 demonstrated strain- and sex-specific elevations in the acute phase with subsequent decline despite ongoing progression of cardiac disease. Acute phase cardiac troponin I levels predicted the ultimate severity of cardiac pathology poorly, whereas myosin light chain 3 levels predicted the extent of chronic cardiac injury in males. Strain- and sex-dependent renal toxicity was evident. Regenerative anemia manifested during the acute period. We confirm that variable susceptibility to doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity observed in humans can be modeled in a panel of CC strains. In addition, we identified a potential predictive biomarker in males. CC strains provide reproducible models to explore mechanisms contributing to individual susceptibility in humans.

Abstract
As a result of the Human Genome Project it became evident that only 1-3% of all gene transcripts encode proteins. The vast majority of gene transcripts are in fact characterized as non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). These ncRNAs have a huge impact on diverse physiological and pathological mechanisms within an organism. In particular, microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are differentiated by their size and function, are involved in the regulation and development of many illnesses. In the context of heart and cardiovascular diseases numerous ncRNAs have also already been described in some detail. As these molecules represent therapeutic target structures, ncRNAs provide a completely new level for the discovery of promising therapeutic approaches. Many approaches have already been developed aimed at influencing the expression levels of specific ncRNAs in order to induce beneficial effects on pathological processes. In fact, first medications based on miRNAs have already achieved approval. Additionally, ncRNAs contained in plasma can serve as new non-invasive diagnostic markers for the detection of diseases.

Abstract
Heart failure affects 2–3% of adult Western population. Prevalence of heart failure with preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (HFpEF) increases. Studies suggest HFpEF patients to have altered myocardial structure and functional changes such as incomplete relaxation and increased cardiac stiffness. We hypothesised that patients undergoing elective coronary bypass surgery (CABG) with HFpEF characteristics would show distinctive gene expression compared to patients with normal LV physiology. Myocardial biopsies for mRNA expression analysis were obtained from sixteen patients with LV ejection fraction ≥45%. Five out of 16 patients (31%) had echocardiographic characteristics and increased NTproBNP levels indicative of HFpEF and this group was used as HFpEF proxy, while 11 patients had Normal LV physiology. Utilising principal component analysis, the gene expression data clustered into two groups, corresponding to HFpEF proxy and Normal physiology, and 743 differentially expressed genes were identified. The associated top biological functions were cardiac muscle contraction, oxidative phosphorylation, cellular remodelling and matrix organisation. Our results also indicate that upstream regulatory events, including inhibition of transcription factors STAT4, SRF and TP53, and activation of transcription repressors HEY2 and KDM5A, could provide explanatory mechanisms to observed gene expression differences and ultimately cardiac dysfunction in the HFpEF proxy group.

Abstract
Biomechanical stress and cytoskeletal remodeling are key determinants of cellular homeostasis and tissue responses to mechanical stimuli and injury. Here we document the increased activity of gelsolin, an actin filament severing and capping protein, in failing human hearts. Deletion of gelsolin prevents biomechanical stress-induced adverse cytoskeletal remodeling and heart failure in mice. We show that phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-triphosphate (PIP3) lipid suppresses gelsolin actin-severing and capping activities. Accordingly, loss of PI3Kα, the key PIP3-producing enzyme in the heart, increases gelsolin-mediated actin-severing activities in the myocardium in vivo, resulting in dilated cardiomyopathy in response to pressure-overload. Mechanical stretching of adult PI3Kα-deficient cardiomyocytes disrupts the actin cytoskeleton, which is prevented by reconstituting cells with PIP3. The actin severing and capping activities of recombinant gelsolin are effectively suppressed by PIP3. Our data identify the role of gelsolin-driven cytoskeletal remodeling in heart failure in which PI3Kα/PIP3 act as negative regulators of gelsolin activity.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (stomach cancer) is the fifth most common malignancy and the third leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Identifying gastric cancer patients at an early and curable stage of the disease is essential if mortality rates for this disease are to decrease. A non-invasive blood-based test that is an indicator of gastric cancer risk would likely be of benefit in identifying gastric cancer patients at an early stage, and such a test may enhance clinical decision making. This study identified a four-gene expression signature in peripheral blood samples associated with gastric cancer. A total of 216 blood samples were collected, including those from 36 gastric cancer patients, 55 healthy controls and 125 patients with other carcinomas, and gene expression profiles were examined using an Affymetrix Gene Profiling microarray. Blood gene expression profiles were compared between patients with stomach cancer, healthy controls and patients affected with other malignancies. A four-gene panel was identified comprising purine-rich element binding protein B, structural maintenance of chromosomes 1A, DENN/MADD domain containing 1B and programmed cell death 4. The four-gene panel discriminated gastric cancer with an area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve of 0.99, an accuracy of 95%, sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 96%. The non-invasive nature of the blood test, together with the relatively high accuracy of the four-gene panel may assist physicians in gastric cancer screening decision making.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression by targeting mRNAs for degradation or translational repression. MiRNAs can be expressed tissue specifically and are altered in response to various physiological conditions. It has recently been shown that miRNAs are released into the circulation, potentially for the purpose of communicating with distant tissues. This manuscript discusses miRNA alterations in cardiac muscle and the circulation during heart failure, a prevalent and costly public health issue. A potential mechanism for how skeletal muscle maladaptations during heart failure could be mediated by myocardium-derived miRNAs released to the circulation is presented. An overview of miRNA alterations in skeletal muscle during the ubiquitous process of aging and perspectives on miRNA interactions during heart failure are also provided.

Abstract
Heart failure is an aging-associated disease that is the leading cause of death worldwide. Sirtuin family members have been largely studied in the context of aging and aging-associated diseases. Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) is a cytoplasmic protein in the family of sirtuins that are NAD+-dependent class III histone deacetylases. In this work, we studied the role of SIRT2 in regulating nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) transcription factor and the development of cardiac hypertrophy. Confocal microscopy analysis indicated that SIRT2 is localized in the cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes and SIRT2 levels are reduced during pathological hypertrophy of the heart. SIRT2-deficient mice develop spontaneous pathological cardiac hypertrophy, remodeling, fibrosis, and dysfunction in an age-dependent manner. Moreover, young SIRT2-deficient mice develop exacerbated agonist-induced hypertrophy. In contrast, SIRT2 overexpression attenuated agonist-induced cardiac hypertrophy in cardiomyocytes in a cell-autonomous manner. Mechanistically, SIRT2 binds to and deacetylates NFATc2 transcription factor. SIRT2 deficiency stabilizes NFATc2 and enhances nuclear localization of NFATc2, resulting in increased transcription activity. Our results suggest that inhibition of NFAT rescues the cardiac dysfunction in SIRT2-deficient mice. Thus, our study establishes SIRT2 as a novel endogenous negative regulator of NFAT transcription factor.

Abstract
Genetic investigations of fibrotic diseases, including those of late onset, often yield unanticipated insights into disease pathogenesis. This Review focuses on pathways underlying lung fibrosis that are generalizable to other organs. Herein, we discuss genetic variants subdivided into those that shorten telomeres, activate the DNA damage response, change resident protein expression or function, or affect organelle activity. Genetic studies provide a window into the downstream cascade of maladaptive responses and pathways that lead to tissue fibrosis. In addition, these studies reveal interactions between genetic variants, environmental factors, and age that influence the phenotypic spectrum of disease. The discovery of forces counterbalancing inherited risk alleles identifies potential therapeutic targets, thus providing hope for future prevention or reversal of fibrosis.

Abstract
The present study aimed to identify key genes and signaling pathways associated with myocardial infarction (MI) following telomerase activation, and investigate the possible underlying molecular mechanisms involved in this process. Array data of GSE62973 was downloaded, including 11 samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed in infarct vs. control, infarct + telomerase vs. control, and infarct + telomerase vs. infarct with the Linear Models for Microarray and RNA‑Seq Data package. Gene Ontology annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis were performed for upregulated and downregulated genes by the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. Sub network modules of 3 protein‑protein interaction (PPI) networks were analyzed by Clustering with Overlapping Neighbourhood Expansion, and genes associated with telomerase were analyzed. Proto‑oncogene tyrosine‑protein kinase Src (Src) and proto‑oncogene tyrosine‑protein kinase Fyn (Fyn) were the hub nodes of the greatest degree in the PPI network for the infarct + telomerase vs. control comparison group and infarct + telomerase vs. infarct comparison group, respectively. Olfactory receptor gene family associated genes, including olfactory receptor 10 were significantly enriched in the sub network modules of the 3 comparison groups. In addition, olfactory transduction was a significantly enriched pathway by downregulation of DEGs in the infarct vs. control comparison group, and was additionally a significantly enriched pathway by upregulated DEGs in infarct + telomerase vs. infarct comparison group. Olfactory transduction was a significant pathway enriched by genes associated with telomerase. Telomerase activation may serve an important role in MI, in part, via the regulation of Src, Fyn and olfactory receptor family associated genes.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease and heart failure (HF) still collect the largest toll of death in western societies and all over the world. A growing number of molecular mechanisms represent possible targets for new therapeutic strategies, which can counteract the metabolic and structural changes observed in the failing heart. G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is one of such targets for which experimental and clinical evidence are established. Indeed, several strategies have been carried out in place to interface with the known GRK2 mechanisms of action in the failing heart. This review deals with results from basic and preclinical studies. It shows different strategies to inhibit GRK2 in HF in vivo (βARK-ct gene therapy, treatment with gallein, and treatment with paroxetine) and in vitro (RNA aptamer, RKIP, and peptide-based inhibitors). These strategies are based either on the inhibition of the catalytic activity of the kinase (“Freeze!”) or the prevention of its shuttling within the cell (“Don’t Move!”). Here, we review the peculiarity of each strategy with regard to the ability to interact with the multiple tasks of GRK2 and the perspective development of eventual clinical use.

Abstract
Vast parts of mammalian genomes encode for transcripts that are not further translated into proteins. The purpose of the majority of such noncoding ribonucleic acids (RNAs) remained paradoxical for a long time. However, a growing body of evidence demonstrates that long noncoding RNAs are dynamically expressed in different cell types, diseases, or developmental stages to execute a wide variety of regulatory roles at virtually every step of gene expression and translation. Indeed, long noncoding RNAs influence gene expression via epigenetic modulations, through regulating alternative splicing, or by acting as molecular sponges. The abundance of long noncoding RNAs in the cardiovascular system indicates that they may be part of a complex regulatory network governing physiology and pathology of the heart. In this review, we discuss the multifaceted functions of long noncoding RNAs and highlight the current literature with an emphasis on cardiac development and disease. Furthermore, as the enormous spectrum of long noncoding RNAs potentially opens up new avenues for diagnosis and prevention of heart failure, we ultimately evaluate the futuristic prospects of long noncoding RNAs as biomarkers, and therapeutic targets for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders, as well.

Abstract
Here, we examine key regulatory pathways underlying the transition from compensated hypertrophy (HYP) to decompensated heart failure (HF) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a guinea pig pressure-overload model by integrated multiome analysis. Relative protein abundances from sham-operated HYP and HF hearts were assessed by iTRAQ LC-MS/MS. Metabolites were quantified by LC-MS/MS or GC-MS. Transcriptome profiles were obtained using mRNA microarrays. The guinea pig HF proteome exhibited classic biosignatures of cardiac HYP, left ventricular dysfunction, fibrosis, inflammation, and extravasation. Fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial transcription/translation factors, antioxidant enzymes, and other mitochondrial procsses, were downregulated in HF but not HYP. Proteins upregulated in HF implicate extracellular matrix remodeling, cytoskeletal remodeling, and acute phase inflammation markers. Among metabolites, acylcarnitines were downregulated in HYP and fatty acids accumulated in HF. The correlation of transcript and protein changes in HF was weak (R(2) = 0.23), suggesting post-transcriptional gene regulation in HF. Proteome/metabolome integration indicated metabolic bottlenecks in fatty acyl-CoA processing by carnitine palmitoyl transferase (CPT1B) as well as TCA cycle inhibition. On the basis of these findings, we present a model of cardiac decompensation involving impaired nuclear integration of Ca(2+) and cyclic nucleotide signals that are coupled to mitochondrial metabolic and antioxidant defects through the CREB/PGC1α transcriptional axis.

Abstract
PURPOSE A goal of this study was to identify and investigate previously unrecognized components of the remodeling process in the progression to heart failure by comparing protein expression in ischemic failing (F) and nonfailing (NF) human hearts. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Protein expression differences were investigated using multidimensional protein identification and validated by Western analysis. This approach detected basal lamina (BL) remodeling, and further studies analyzed samples for evidence of structural BL remodeling. A rat model of pressure overload (PO) was studied to determine whether nonischemic stressors also produce BL remodeling and impact cellular adhesion. RESULTS Differential protein expression of collagen IV, laminin α2, and nidogen-1 indicated BL remodeling develops in F versus NF hearts Periodic disruption of cardiac myocyte BL accompanied this process in F, but not NF heart. The rat PO myocardium also developed BL remodeling and compromised myocyte adhesion compared to sham controls. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Differential protein expression and evidence of structural and functional BL alterations develop during heart failure. The compromised adhesion associated with this remodeling indicates a high potential for dysfunctional cellular integrity and tethering in failing myocytes. Therapeutically targeting BL remodeling could slow or prevent the progression of heart disease.

Abstract
Cardiac fibroblasts represent one of the most frequent cell type in the heart of rodents and humans and alterations of their phenotype have a great impact on cardiac function. Due to aging, ischemic injuries, valvular dysfunctions, hypertension and aortic stenosis, multiple signals trigger the accumulation of extracellular matrix in the cardiac interstitium and perivascular space, leading to structural and functional detrimental changes in the heart. Cardiac fibroblasts are the principal orchestrators of matrix formation and degradation and indirectly regulate cardiac hypertrophy and inflammation. Understanding the molecular bases of their action could provide tools for the treatment of cardiac remodeling. This review summarizes recent evidences on non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs that modulate the phenotype of cardiac fibroblasts and may serve in the future as targets for novel therapeutic strategies against cardiac fibrosis.

Abstract
High-fat diets induce obesity, leading to cardiomyocyte fibrosis and autophagy imbalance. In addition, no previous studies have indicated that probiotics have potential health effects associated with cardiac fibrosis and autophagy in obese rats. This study investigates the effects of probiotics on high-fat (HF) diet-induced obesity and cardiac fibrosis and autophagy in rat hearts. Eight-week-old male Wistar rats were separated randomly into five equally sized experimental groups: Normal diet (control) and high-fat (HF) diet groups and groups fed a high-fat diet supplemented with low (HL), medium (HM) or high (HH) doses of multi-strain probiotic powders. These experiments were designed for an 8-week trial period. The myocardial architecture of the left ventricle was evaluated using Masson's trichrome staining and immunohistochemistry staining. Key probiotics-related pathway molecules were analyzed using western blotting. Abnormal myocardial architecture and enlarged interstitial spaces were observed in HF hearts. These interstitial spaces were significantly decreased in groups provided with multi-strain probiotics compared with HF hearts. Western blot analysis demonstrated that key components of the TGF/MMP2/MMP9 fibrosis pathways and ERK5/uPA/ANP cardiac hypertrophy pathways were significantly suppressed in probiotic groups compared to the HF group. Autophagy balance is very important in cardiomyocytes. In this study, we observed that the beclin-1/LC3B/Atg7 autophagy pathway in HF was increased after probiotic supplementation was significantly decreased. Together, these results suggest that oral administration of probiotics may attenuate cardiomyocyte fibrosis and cardiac hypertrophy and the autophagy-signaling pathway in obese rats.

Abstract
Epigenetic mechanisms are fundamental in cardiac adaptations, remodeling, reverse remodeling, and disease. A primary goal of translational cardiovascular research is recognizing whether disease-related changes in phenotype can be averted by eliminating or reducing the effects of environmental epigenetic risks. There may be significant medical benefits in using gene-by-environment interaction knowledge to prevent or reverse organ abnormalities and disease. This survey proposes that "environmental" forces associated with diastolic RV/LV rotatory flows exert important, albeit still unappreciated, epigenetic actions influencing functional and morphological cardiac adaptations. Mechanisms analogous to Murray's law of hydrodynamic shear-induced endothelial cell modulation of vascular geometry are likely to link diastolic vortex-associated shear, torque and "squeeze" forces to RV/LV adaptations. The time has come to explore a new paradigm in which such forces play a fundamental epigenetic role, and to work out how heart cells react to them. Findings from various imaging modalities, computational fluid dynamics, molecular cell biology and cytomechanics are considered. The following are examined, among others: structural dynamics of myocardial cells (endocardium, cardiomyocytes, and fibroblasts), cytoskeleton, nucleoskeleton, and extracellular matrix; mechanotransduction and signaling; and mechanical epigenetic influences on genetic expression. To help integrate and focus relevant pluridisciplinary research, rotatory RV/LV filling flow is placed within a working context that has a cytomechanics perspective. This new frontier in cardiac research should uncover versatile mechanistic insights linking filling vortex patterns and attendant forces to variable expressions of gene regulation in RV/LV myocardium. In due course, it should reveal intrinsic homeostatic arrangements that support ventricular myocardial function and adaptability.

Abstract
Heart failure affects 1–2% of the adult population worldwide and coronary artery disease (CAD) is the underlying etiology of heart failure in 70% of the patients. The pathway of apelin and its apelin receptor (APJ) was implicated in the pathogenesis of heart failure in animal models, but a similar role in humans is unknown. We studied a functional variant, rs9943582 (-154G/A), at the 5’-untranslated region, that was associated with decreased expression of the APJ receptor gene (APLNR) in a population consisting of 1,751 CAD cases and 1,022 controls. Variant rs9943582 was not associated with CAD, but among CAD patients, it showed significant association with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (431 CAD patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LV ejection fraction or LVEF< 40%) versus 1,046 CAD patients without LV systolic dysfunction (LVEF>50%) (P-adj = 6.71×10-5, OR = 1.43, 95% CI, 1.20–1.70). Moreover, rs9943582 also showed significant association with quantitative echocardiographic parameters, including left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (effect size: increased 1.67±0.43 mm per risk allele A, P = 1.15×10-4), left atrial size (effect size: increased 2.12±0.61 mm per risk allele A, P = 9.56×10-4) and LVEF (effect size: decreased 2.59±0.32 percent per risk allele A, P = 7.50×10-15). Our findings demonstrate that allele A of rs9943582 was significantly associated with left ventricular systolic dysfunction, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, the left atrial diameter and LVEF in the CAD population, which suggests an important role of the apelin/APJ system in the pathology of heart failure associated with ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
The sarcomeres of striated muscle are among the most elaborate and dynamic eukaryotic cellular protein machinery, and the mechanisms by which these semicrystalline filament networks are initially patterned and assembled remain contentious. In addition to the acto-myosin filaments that provide motor function, the sarcomere contains titin filaments, comprised of individual molecules of the giant Ig- and fibronectin domain-rich protein titin. Titin is the largest known protein, containing many structurally distinct domains with a variety of proposed functions, including sarcomere stabilization, the prevention of over-stretching, and returning to resting length after contraction. One molecule of titin, which binds to both the Z-disk and the M-line, spans a half-sarcomere, and is proposed to serve as a "molecular ruler" that dictates the spacing of sarcomeres. The semirigid rod-like A-band region of titin has also been proposed to act as a scaffold for thick filament formation during muscle development, but despite decades of research, this hypothesis has not been rigorously tested. Recent studies in zebrafish have brought into question the necessity for the A-band region of titin during the early stages of sarcomere patterning. In this review, we give an overview of the many different roles of titin in the development and function of striated muscle, and address the validity of the "molecular ruler" model of myofibrillogenesis in light of the current literature.

Abstract
Since the discovery of leptin in 1994 by Zhang et al., there have been a number of reports showing its implication in the development of a wide range of cardiovascular diseases. However, there exists some controversy about how leptin can induce or preserve cardiovascular function, as different authors have found contradictory results about leptin beneficial or detrimental effects in leptin deficient/resistant murine models and in wild type tissue and cardiomyocytes. Here, we will focus on the main discoveries about the leptin functions at cardiac level within the last two decades, focusing on its role in cardiac metabolism, remodeling and contractile function.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease is one of the main causes of death in the developed world, and treatment success remains modest, with high mortality rates within 1 year after myocardial infarction (MI). Thus, new therapeutic targets and effective treatments are necessary. Short telomeres are risk factors for age-associated diseases, including heart disease. Here we address the potential of telomerase (Tert) activation in prevention of heart failure after MI in adult mice. We use adeno-associated viruses for cardiac-specific Tert expression. We find that upon MI, hearts expressing Tert show attenuated cardiac dilation, improved ventricular function and smaller infarct scars concomitant with increased mouse survival by 17% compared with controls. Furthermore, Tert treatment results in elongated telomeres, increased numbers of Ki67 and pH3-positive cardiomyocytes and a gene expression switch towards a regeneration signature of neonatal mice. Our work suggests telomerase activation could be a therapeutic strategy to prevent heart failure after MI.

Abstract
Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome and has become the most common reason for adult hospitalization in developed countries. Two subtypes of heart failure, ischemic heart disease (ISCH) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), have been studied using microarray platforms. However, microarray has limited resolution. Here we applied RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to identify gene signatures for heart failure from six individuals, including three controls, one ISCH and two DCM patients. Using genes identified from this small RNA-Seq dataset, we were able to accurately classify heart failure status in a much larger set of 313 individuals. The identified genes significantly overlapped with genes identified via genome-wide association studies for cardiometabolic traits and the promoters of those genes were enriched for binding sites for transcriptions factors. Our results indicate that it is possible to use RNA-Seq to classify disease status for complex diseases such as heart failure using an extremely small training dataset.

Abstract
Src homology and collagen A (ShcA) is an adaptor protein that binds to tyrosine kinase receptors. Its germ line deletion is embryonic lethal with abnormal cardiovascular system formation, and its role in cardiovascular development is unknown. To investigate its functional role in cardiovascular development in mice, ShcA was deleted in cardiomyocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells by crossing ShcA flox mice with SM22a-Cre transgenic mice. Conditional mutant mice developed signs of severe dilated cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarctions, and premature death. No evidence of a vascular contribution to the phenotype was observed. Histological analysis of the heart revealed aberrant sarcomeric Z-disk and M-band structures, and misalignments of T-tubules with Z-disks. We find that not only the ErbB3/Neuregulin signaling pathway but also the baroreceptor reflex response, which have been functionally associated, are altered in the mutant mice. We further demonstrate that ShcA interacts with Caveolin-1 and the costameric protein plasma membrane Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent ATPase (PMCA), and that its deletion leads to abnormal dystrophin signaling. Collectively, these results demonstrate that ShcA interacts with crucial proteins and pathways that link Z-disk and costamere.

Abstract
Heart failure explains a large portion of heart diseases. Molecular mechanisms determining cardiac function, by inference dysfunction in heart failure, are incompletely understood, especially in the common (or congestive) systolic (SHF) and diastolic heart failure (DHF). Limited genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in humans are reported on SHF and no GWAS has been performed on DHF. Genetic analyses in a rodent model of true DHF, Dahl salt-sensitive (DSS) rats, have begun to unravel the genetic components determining diastolic function. Diastolic dysfunction of DSS rats can be ameliorated or even normalized by distinct quantitative trait loci (QTLs), designated as diastolic function/blood pressure QTLs (DF/BP QTLs), which also affect blood pressure (BP). However, an improvement in diastolic dysfunction is merely transitory from a single DF/BP QTL, despite a permanent lowering of BP. A long-term protection against diastolic dysfunction can be realized only through combining specific DF/BP QTLs. Moreover, the worsening diastolic dysfunction with age can also be reversed in a different combination of DF/BP QTLs. Thus, distinct genes in combinations must be involved in the physiological mechanisms ameliorating or reversing diastolic dysfunction. As not all the QTLs that influence BP can affect diastolic function, it is not BP reduction itself that restores diastolic function, but rather specific genes that are uniquely integrated into the pathways of blood pressure homeostasis as well as diastolic function. Thus, the elucidation of pathophysiological mechanisms causal to hypertensive diastolic dysfunction will not only provide new diagnostic tools, but also novel therapeutic targets and strategies in reducing, curing, and even reversing DHF.
