- Abstract
Resection of the left atrial appendage reportedly improves blood pressure in patients with hypertension. This study aimed to validate the transcriptional profiles of atrial genes responsible for blood pressure regulation in patients with hypertension as well as to identify the molecular mechanisms in rat biological systems. RNA sequencing data of left atrial appendages from patients with (n = 6) and without (n = 6) hypertension were subjected to unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA). Reduction of blood pressure was reflected by third and ninth principal components PC3 and PC9, and that eighteen transcripts, including endothelin-1, were revealed by PCA-based pathway analysis. Resection of the left atrial appendage in hypertensive rats improved their blood pressure accompanied by a decrease in serum endothelin-1 concentration. Expression of the endothelin-1 gene in the atrium and atrial appendectomy could play roles in blood pressure regulation in humans and rats.
