Distinct epigenomic features in end-stage failing human hearts.
BACKGROUND The epigenome refers to marks on the genome, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, that regulate the expression of underlying genes. A consistent profile of gene expression changes in end-stage cardiomyopathy led us to hypothesize that distinct global patterns of the epigenome may also exist. METHODS AND RESULTS We constructed genome-wide maps of DNA methylation and ...
متن کاملIncreased cardiac myocyte progenitors in failing human hearts.
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence, derived mainly from animal models, supports the existence of endogenous cardiac renewal and repair mechanisms in adult mammalian hearts that could contribute to normal homeostasis and the responses to pathological insults. METHODS AND RESULTS Translating these results, we isolated small c-kit+ cells from 36 of 37 human hearts using primary cell isolation techni...
متن کاملIonic mechanism of delayed afterdepolarizations in ventricular cells isolated from human end-stage failing hearts.
BACKGROUND Animal studies have shown that the Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) current (I(Cl(Ca))) and the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange current (I(Na/Ca)) contribute to the transient inward current (I(ti)). I(ti) is responsible for the proarrhythmic delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs). We investigated the ionic mechanism of I(ti) and DADs in human cardiac cells. METHODS AND RESULTS Human ventricular cells wer...
متن کاملGender differences in post-infarction hypertrophy in end-stage failing hearts.
OBJECTIVES We explored whether there are gender differences in cardiac remodeling and whether etiology influences organ and cellular remodeling in advanced heart failure (HF). BACKGROUND Several studies have shown a survival benefit for women compared to men with symptomatic HF. This observation may be related to gender differences in cardiac remodeling. METHODS We studied hearts from 100 p...
متن کاملDiagnosis of cardiac disease in pediatric end-stage renal disease.
BACKGROUND Cardiac disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study aimed to report the frequency of cardiac disease diagnostic methods used in US pediatric maintenance hemodialysis patients. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of all US pediatric (ages 0.7-18 years, n = 656) maintenance hemodialysis patients was performed us...
