Involvement of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and its related molecules in atrial fibrosis in patients with atrial fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia. Atrial fibrosis is a significant feature of atrial fibrillation though its mechanism is not well understood. We searched the Gene Expression Omnibus database to compare mRNA expression patterns between atrial fibrillation and sinus r...

description Atrial fibrillation is the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia. Atrial fibrosis is a significant feature of atrial fibrillation though its mechanism is not well understood. We searched the Gene Expression Omnibus database to compare mRNA expression patterns between atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm samples; one hundred and forty eight differentially expressed genes were identified. Most of these genes were significantly enriched in the extracellular matrix organization process and collagen-activated tyrosine kinase receptor signaling pathway. To screen hub genes involved in atrial fibrosis, we constructed a protein-protein interaction network and found that three hub genes (SERPINE1/plasminogen activator inhibitor-1/PAI-1, TIMP Metallopeptidase Inhibitor 3/TIMP3 and decorin/DCN) play vital roles in atrial fibrosis, especially plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. Elevated plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 expression was positively correlated with the p53 signaling pathway. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and p53 protein expression levels were verified in patients with sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation by Western blot analysis. Compared with the sinus rhythm controls, p53 and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 protein expressions were upregulated in the atrial tissues of patients with atrial fibrillation. p53 was also found to regulate plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 based on the results of cellular and molecular experiments. Thus, the p53/plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 signaling axis may participate in the pathophysiological processes of atrial fibrillation, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 may serve as a new therapeutic biomarker in atrial fibrillation.
