Résumé

Aims: Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) is a systemic syndrome with a poor prognosis and a need for novel therapies. We investigated whether whole-blood transcriptomic profiling can provide new mechanistic insights into cardiovascular (CV) mortality in CHF. Methods and results: Transcriptome profiles were generated at baseline from 944 CHF patients from the BIOSTAT-CHF Study - of whom 626 survived and 318 died from a CV cause during a follow-up of 21 months. Multivariable analysis, including adjustment for cell count, identified 1,153 genes (6.5%) that were differentially expressed between those that survived or died and strongly related to a validated clinical risk score for adverse prognosis. The differentially expressed genes mainly belonged to 5 non-redundant pathways: Adaptive immune response, proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process, T-cell co-stimulation, positive regulation of T-cell proliferation and erythrocyte development. These five pathways were selectively related (RV coefficients >0.20) with seven circulating protein biomarkers of CV mortality (FGF23, sST2, adrenomedullin, hepcidin, pentraxin-3, WFDC2 and IL-6) revealing an intricate relationship between immune and iron homeostasis. The pattern of survival-associated gene expression matched with 29 perturbagen-induced transcriptome signatures in the iLINCS drug-repurposing database, identifying drugs, approved for other clinical indications, that were able to reverse in vitro the molecular changes associated with adverse prognosis in CHF. Conclusion: Systematic modeling of the whole blood protein-coding transcriptome defined molecular pathways that provide a link between clinical risk factors and adverse cardiovascular prognosis in CHF, identifying both established and new potential therapeutic targets.
