Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia. Patients with valvular heart disease (VHD) frequently have AF. Growing evidence demonstrates that a specifically altered pattern of microRNA (miRNA) expression is related to valvular heart disease with atrial fibrillation (AF-VHD) processes. However, the combinatorial regulation by multiple miRNAs in inducing AF-VHD remains largely unknown. Methods: The work identified AF-VHD-specific miRNAs and their combinations through mapping miRNA expression profile into differential co-expression network. The expressions of some dysregulated miRNAs were measured by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The regulations of signaling pathways by the combinatorial miRNAs were predicted by enrichment analysis tools. Results: Thirty-two differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs were identified to be AF-VHD-specific, some of which were new findings. These miRNAs interacted to form 5 combinations. qRT-PCR confirmed the different expression of several identified miRNAs, which illustrated the reliability and biomarker potentials of 32 dysregulation miRNAs. The biological characteristics of combinatorial miRNAs related to AF-VHD were highlighted. Twelve signaling pathways regulated by combinatorial miRNAs were predicted to be possibly associated with AF-VHD. Conclusions: The AF-VHD-related signaling pathways regulated by combinatorial miRNAs may play an important role in the occurrence of AF-VHD. The work brings new insights into biomarkers and miRNA combination regulation mechanism in AF-VHD as well as further biological experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
