Primary lipid cardiomyopathy.

Abstract

In this communication, we describe an isolated, apparently congenital cardiomyopathy (CMP) characterized by the accumulation of stainable lipid in mitochondria of cardiomyocytes. This lesion, which we term primary lipid cardiomyopathy, has not been reported so far. The structural alteration was associated with progressive heart failure, leading to death at the age of 3 years, and with massive hypertrophy of myocardium. Lipid storage in heart muscle cells resulted in an impressive yellow to orange color of the myocardium. We suggest that this type of primary CMP may represent a new member within the group of mitochondrial CMPs. Possible pathogenic mechanisms are discussed.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a genome-wide association meta-analysis and polygenic risk score.

BACKGROUND: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heritable trait with marked variability in expression and outcomes. Our aims were to discover new genetic loci associated with HCM and to test the effect of a new polygenic risk score (PRS) on incidence, phenotype and outcomes stratified by genotype status. METHODS: A discovery genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed on 2284 HCM cases and 4525 controls. Two fixed-effects meta-analyses combined our discovery GWAS with single-trait and multi-trait results from a published study. Discovered loci underwent comprehensive bioinformatic analysis including functional and druggability annotations. A PRS using loci from the two meta-analyses was evaluated for association with HCM diagnosis in 411 213 individuals from UK Biobank (UKBB); imaging phenotypes in individuals without HCM; a composite endpoint (including all-cause mortality and transplantation); and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in 1756 HCM cases. PRS analyses were stratified by genotype status. RESULTS: Three loci were found in the discovery GWAS (BAG3, FHOD3 and novel locus PPP1R3A). In the meta-analyses, 70 unique loci were identified, four novel (MYPN, YWHAE, NOS1AP and OBSCN). Bioinformatic analyses identified NOS1AP as a candidate HCM gene. A new PRS was significantly associated with HCM diagnosis (HR=3.19, 95% CI 2.46 to 4.14 for top 5% vs lower 95%; HR=1.88, 95% CI 1.72 to 2.06 per SD increase). Significant associations were found between PRS and greater left ventricular (LV) wall thickness and higher LV ejection fraction in UKBB participants without HCM. Genotype-negative HCM cases in the top 20% of the PRS distribution had an increased risk of SCD (HR=2.72, 95% CI 1.03 to 7.17). CONCLUSIONS: We report novel HCM loci. A new PRS predicted the risk of HCM development and associated imaging characteristics in the UKBB and outcomes in an HCM cohort.

Integrative omics analysis identifies biomarkers of septic cardiomyopathy.

Septic Cardiomyopathy (SCM) is a syndrome of acute cardiac dysfunction in septic patients, unrelated to cardiac ischemia. Multiomics studies including transcriptomics and proteomics have provided new insights into the mechanisms of SCM. In here, a rat model of SCM was established by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Biomarkers of SCM were characterized via a multi-omics analysis. The differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs predominantly appeared in pathways linked to the immune response, inflammatory response, and the complement and coagulation cascades, while DE proteins were mainly enriched in pathways associated with the complement and coagulation cascades. On this basis, the integrated analysis was performed between transcriptome and proteome. The potential biomarkers were further verified by RT-qPCR and WB. The current proteotranscriptomic research has furnished a valuable dataset and fresh perspectives that will enhance our comprehension of the development of SCM. This, in turn, is expected to expedite the formulation of novel approaches for the prevention and management of SCM in patients.
