RNAseq of human heart tissue from healthy and failing hearts
We aim to study the gene alteration in diabetic failing heart and decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying diabetes-associated heart failure. Diabetic patients are more vulnerable to cardiac dysfunction. The pathogenesis of diabetes-associated heart failure is multiple, including cardiac pathological remodeling, intracellular metabolic disorders, cardiac inflammation, etc. To determine which signaling pathways causes the myocardial alterations, we plan to identify the individual gene function during the pathogenesis using an unbiased large-scale screening. Firstly, gene expression should be assessed. RNA-seq is used to detect gene changes, afterwards, the potential candidates involved in the molecular basis induing diabetic heart failure will be validated by other assessment and function study will be performed to explore their role in the onset and progression of heart failure in diabetes. Samples are healthy subject versus those with diabetes with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart failure (HF)
