Description
Background: Although chamber specialization is critical for proper cardiac function, a comprehensive, genome-wide analysis of the cardiac transcriptome, including identification of regional differences in mRNA and lncRNA expression patterns for the four chambers and interventricular septum of the non-failing human heart, has not been performed. Methods and Results: mRNA and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) transcriptional profiling of the left (LA) and right (RA) atria, left (LV) and right (RV) ventricles, and the interventricular septum (IVS) of non-failing human hearts (N=8) was performed by deep sequencing. Analysis of the mRNA and lncRNA expression profiles revealed that the different regions of the heart are distinct. Differential expression analysis of paired tissue samples identified 5,747 mRNAs and 2,794 lncRNAs with chamber-enriched expression patterns. The largest differences in mRNA and lncRNA expression were evident between atria and ventricular samples, including regional differences in ~20% of all cardiac expressed mRNA and lncRNA transcripts. Regional differences in mRNA and lncRNA expression were also evident, although to a lesser extent, between the LA and RA, and between the LV, RV and IVS. Gene ontology classification of differentially expressed gene sets revealed regional differences in chamber specialization, including differences in signaling, metabolism, and muscle contraction. Sex differences in mRNA and lncRNA gene expression profiles were also identified between male and female LA and RA samples. Conclusions: There are marked regional differences in the mRNA and lncRNA expression profiles in non-failing adult human heart, and are associated with chamber specialization. Overall design: 8 human hearts, 5 chambers from each
