RNAseq for non-disease heart RV

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) is an inherited cardiomyopathy characterized by fibrofatty replacement predominantly involved in right ventricle and clinically by ventricular arrhythmias.In this study, we set out to characterize the cardiac novel long-noncoding RNAs using deep RNA sequencing data from human heart tissues. Particularly, we identified AC specific novel lncRNAs that contribute to AC pathophysiology by comparing the lncRNAs transcripts of nine AC explanted hearts (RV), five non-diseased donor hearts (RV), four non-AC failing hearts (dilated cardiomyopathy, RV). To dissect the roles of novel lncRNAs in ARVC from LV, we also include six non-diseased donor hearts (LV) and six ARVC explanted hearts (LV) in the analysis. In the identified novel AC lncRNAs, a large part of them are derived from enhancer regions and acting as cis- elements to potentially regulate lipogenesis or lipid metabolism related genes. Finally, we validated several of these AC specific novel lncRNAs and their potential targets in independent patient samples. Collectively, we identified high-confidence AC specific novel lncRNAs from human samples and suggest their potential roles as cis- elements in AC pathology. Further study of these novel AC lncRNAs could provide new opportunities for diagnosis and therapeutic intervention. RNAseq for non-disease heart RV
