Activation of Imprinted Gene PW1 Promotes Cardiac Fibrosis After Ischemic InjuryCirculation · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
The activation of fibroblasts and production of extracellular matrix (ECM) after cardiac injury has been the focus of research on cardiac fibrosis. Whether imprinted genes play a role in the fibrogenesis or extracellular matrix production after heart damage has not been studied. Here, we show that the imprinted gene Pw1 directed ECM production by regulating de novo purine synthesis (DNPB) after myocardial infarction (MI).

After MI, the DNA methylation of the imprinting control region (ICR) of Pw1 gene in the injured area was reduced and both alleles of Pw1 in fibroblasts are activated. Further, loss of Pw1 in fibroblasts can enhance cardiac function, reduce cardiac fibrosis and extracellular matrix secretion after cardiac injury. To screen the targets of PW1, we contrasted chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-seq and RNA-seq using the injured left ventricles at 7 days post-MI, we next found PW1 binds directly upstream of the Pfas gene that encodes one of the DNPB enzymes phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine synthase (PFAS) in heart after injury. Similarly, specific knockout of pfas in fibroblasts also improves cardiac function and reduces ECM production. Moreover, de novo purine biosynthesis is necessary for ECM production in activated fibroblasts. These observations implicate understanding the mechanism of Pw1 in the repair of cardiac injury will provide new ideas for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE231979_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA970349 and SRA study SRP436487. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
