Brief Summary:
To identify epigenetic-sensitive modifications and novel biomarkers linked to pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension PAH we will perform the first study analyzing differentially-methylated regions DMRs in circulating T cells CD04 and CD08 isolated from peripheral blood of patients undergoing right heart catheterization Moreover we will perform RNA deep sequencing on lung tissue biopsies to validate if DNA methylation signatures in circulating T cells could reflect perturbations of gene expression in lung tissues
Detailed Description:
Pulmonary arterial hypertension PAH is characterized by remodeling of pulmonary arteries caused by an inbalance of proliferationapoptosis rate within the vascular wall This pathological phenotype seems to be triggered by different environmental stress and injury events such as increased inflammation DNA damage and epigenetic deregulation Many immune cells are increased in PAH such as T and B lymphocytes Remarkably T cells are essential players of adaptive immunity and may be relevant initiators initial hit of vascular remodelling We will perform the first multi-omics study to 1 investigate DNA methylome of circulating T cells isolated from peripheral blood of PAH patients 2 detect transcriptomic profiles of lung tissues 3 to assess if DNA methylation of distinct genomic regions in circulating T cells could reflect modifications of lung gene expression programs
