Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a hereditary heart disease characterized by bidirectional or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Although trans-2,3-enoyl-CoA reductase like () is a newly reported pathogenic gene leading to CPVT that can influence intracellular calcium regulation, the unidentified mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of TECRL deficiency-mediated CPVT remains mainly elusive. In the present study, knockout (KO) mice were established and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were investigated by RNA-sequencing from the heart tissues. In addition, 857 DEGs were identified in KO mice. Subsequently, a weighted gene co-expression network analysis was conducted to discern the pivotal pathways implicated in the -mediated regulatory network. Moreover, pathway mapping analyses demonstrated that essential metabolism-related pathways were significantly enriched, notably the fatty acid metabolic process and calcium regulation. Collectively, the data suggested a synergistic relationship between deficiency and cardiometabolic and calcium regulation during the development of CPVT. Therefore, further studies on the potential function of TECRL in cardiac tissues would be beneficial to elucidate the pathogenesis of CPVT.
儿茶酚胺能多形性室性心动过速(CPVT)是一种遗传性心脏病,其特征为双向或多形性室性心动过速以及心脏性猝死风险增加。尽管反式-2,3-烯酰辅酶A还原酶样蛋白(TECRL)是新报道的导致CPVT的致病基因,可影响细胞内钙调节,但TECRL缺乏介导的CPVT发病机制背后尚未明确的机制仍主要难以捉摸。在本研究中,构建了TECRL基因敲除(KO)小鼠,并通过对心脏组织进行RNA测序来研究差异表达基因(DEG)。此外,在TECRL KO小鼠中鉴定出857个DEG。随后,进行了加权基因共表达网络分析,以识别参与TECRL介导的调控网络的关键途径。此外,通路映射分析表明,与基本代谢相关的途径显著富集,尤其是脂肪酸代谢过程和钙调节。总体而言,数据表明在CPVT发生发展过程中,TECRL缺乏与心脏代谢和钙调节之间存在协同关系。因此,进一步研究TECRL在心脏组织中的潜在功能将有助于阐明CPVT的发病机制。
