Abstract
Background: Despite surgical advances, children with tetralogy of Fallot/pulmonary atresia/major aortopulmonary collaterals (TOF/PA/MAPCAs) are subject to chronic right ventricular (RV) pressure and volume overload. Current diagnostic tools do not identify adverse myocardial remodeling and cannot predict progression to RV failure. We sought to identify a noninvasive, circulating signature of the systemic response to right heart stress to follow disease progression. Methods: Longitudinal data were collected from patients with TOF/PA/MAPCAs (N = 5) at the time of (1) early RV pressure overload and (2) late RV pressure and volume overload. Plasma protein and microRNA expression were evaluated using high-throughput data-independent mass spectroscopy and Agilent miR Microarray, respectively. Results: At the time of early RV pressure overload, median patient age was 0.34 years (0.02-9.37), with systemic RV pressures, moderate-severe hypertrophy, and preserved systolic function. Late RV pressure and volume overload occurred at a median age of 4.08 years (1.51-10.83), with moderate RV hypertrophy and dilation, and low normal RV function; 277 proteins were significantly dysregulated (log2FC ≥0.6/≤-0.6, FDR≤0.05), predicting downregulation in lipid transport (apolipoproteins), fibrinolytic system, and extracellular matrix structural proteins (talin 1, profilin 1); and upregulation in the respiratory burst. Increasing RV size and decreasing RV function correlated with decreasing structural protein expression. Similarly, miR expression predicted downregulation of extracellular matrix-receptor interactions and upregulation in collagen synthesis. Conclusion: To our knowledge, we show for the first time a noninvasive protein and miR signature reflecting the systemic response to adverse RV myocardial remodeling in TOF/PA/MAPCAs which could be used to follow disease progression.

Abstract
Introduction Machine learning (ML) has gained intensive popularity in various fields, such as disease diagnosis in healthcare. However, it has limitation for single algorithm to explore the diagnosing value of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We aim to develop a novel overall normalized sum weight of multiple-model MLs to assess the diagnosing value in DCM. Methods Gene expression data were selected from previously published databases (six sets of eligible microarrays, 386 samples) with eligible criteria. Two sets of microarrays were used as training; the others were studied in the testing sets (ratio 5:1). Totally, we identified 20 differently expressed genes (DEGs) between DCM and control individuals (7 upregulated and 13 down-regulated). Results We developed six classification ML methods to identify potential candidate genes based on their overall weights. Three genes, serine proteinase inhibitor A3 (SERPINA3), frizzled-related proteins (FRPs) 3 (FRZB), and ficolin 3 (FCN3) were finally identified as the receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Interestingly, we found all three genes correlated considerably with plasma cells. Importantly, not only in training sets but also testing sets, the areas under the curve (AUCs) for SERPINA3, FRZB, and FCN3 were greater than 0.88. The ROC of SERPINA3 was significantly high (0.940 in training and 0.918 in testing sets), indicating it is a potentially functional gene in DCM. Especially, the plasma levels in DCM patients of SERPINA3, FCN, and FRZB were significant compared with healthy control. Discussion SERPINA3, FRZB, and FCN3 might be potential diagnosis targets for DCM, Further verification work could be implemented.

Abstract
Background Mitral valve disease (MVD)-associated atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmias with an increased risk of thromboembolic events. This study aimed to identify the molecular mechanisms and possible biomarkers for chronic AF in MVD by using multi-omics methods. Methods This prospective study enrolled patients with MVD (n=100) undergoing mitral valve replacement surgery. The patients were allocated into chronic AF and sinus rhythm (SR) groups. Plasma samples were collected preoperatively. Proteomics was performed with isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) to identify differential proteins (DPs) between the two groups. The selected DPs were then validated in a new cohort of patients by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A gas chromatography-mass spectrometer was used in the metabolomics study to identify differential metabolites (DMs). Bioinformatics analyses were performed to analyze the results. Results Among the 447 plasma proteins and 322 metabolites detected, 57 proteins and 55 metabolites, including apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I), apolipoprotein A-II (ApoA-II), LIM domain only protein 7 (LMO7), and vitronectin (VN) were differentially expressed between AF and SR patients. Bioinformatics analyses identified enriched pathways related to AF, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS), galactose, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, and linoleic acid metabolism. Conclusions Using integrated multi-omics technologies in MVD-associated AF patients, the present study, for the first time, revealed important signaling pathways, such as PPARα, as well as possible roles of other signaling pathways, including the RAAS and galactose metabolism to understand the molecular mechanism of MVD-associated AF. It also identified a large number of DPs and DMs. Some identified proteins and metabolites, such as ApoA-I, ApoA-II, LMO7, and VN, may be further developed as biomarkers for MVD-associated AF.

Abstract
Objective Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a congenital heart defect with an unclear etiology that occurs commonly among newborns. Adequately understanding the molecular pathogenesis of PDA can contribute to improved treatment and prevention. Plasma proteins may provide evidence to explore the molecular mechanisms of abnormal cardiac development. Methods Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) proteomics technology was used to measure different plasma proteins in PDA patients (n = 4) and controls (n = 4). The candidate protein was validated by ELISA and Western blot (WB) assays in a larger sample. Validation of the location and expression of this protein was performed in mouse heart sections. Results There were three downregulated proteins and eight upregulated proteins identified in the iTRAQ proteomics data. Among these, protein disulfide-isomerase A6 (PDIA6) was further analyzed for validation. The plasma PDIA6 concentrations (3.2 ± 0.7 ng/ml) in PDA patients were significantly lower than those in normal controls (5.8 ± 1.2 ng/ml). In addition, a WB assay also supported these results. PDIA6 was widely expressed in mouse heart outflow tract on embryonic day 14.5. Conclusion Plasma proteomics profiles suggested novel candidate molecular markers for PDA. The findings may allow development of a new strategy to investigate the mechanism and etiology of PDA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures. This prospective study aimed to investigate predisposition of proteins and metabolites correlated to POAF after CABG and related cellular pathways. METHODS Preoperative plasma samples from patients undergoing CABG procedures were prospectively collected. After CABG, the patients were grouped to POAF or sinus rhythm (N = 170; n = 90 in the discovery set and n = 80 in the validation set). The plasma samples were analyzed using proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics to identify the differential proteins and differential metabolites. The correlation between differential proteins and POAF was also investigated by multivariable regression analysis and receiver operator characteristic analysis. RESULTS In the POAF(+) group, 29 differential proteins and 61 differential metabolites were identified compared with the POAF(-) group. The analysis of integrated omics revealed that preoperative alteration of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor α and glutathione metabolism pathways increased the susceptibility of POAF after CABG. There was a correlation between plasma levels of apolipoprotein-C3, phospholipid transfer protein, glutathione peroxidase 3, cholesteryl ester transfer protein, and POAF. CONCLUSIONS The present study for first time at multi-omics levels explored the mechanism of POAF and validated the results in a new cohort of patients, suggesting preexisting differential proteins and differential metabolites in the plasma of patients prone to POAF after CABG. Dysregulation of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor α and glutathione metabolism pathways related to metabolic remodeling and redox imbalance-associated electrical remodeling may play a key role in the pathogenesis of POAF. Lower plasma phospholipid transfer protein, apolipoprotein-C3, higher cholesteryl ester transfer protein and glutathione peroxidase 3 levels are linked with POAF. These proteins/metabolites may be developed as biomarkers to predict POAF.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Plasma proteomics has been extensively utilized for studies that investigate various disease settings (e.g. cardiovascular disease), as well as to monitor the effect of pharmaceuticals on the plasma proteome (e.g. chemotherapy). However, plasma proteomic studies focusing on children represent a very small proportion of the plasma proteomic studies completed to date. Early disease detection and prevention is critical in pediatrics, as children must live with the disease outcomes for many years and often carry negative outcomes into adulthood. Pediatrics represents an area of plasma proteomics that is about to undergo a significant expansion. Areas covered: This review is based on a PubMed search focusing on five keywords that are plasma, biomarkers, pediatric, proteomics, and children. It is a comprehensive summary of plasma proteomic studies specific to the pediatric patient and discusses aspects such as the clinical setting, sample size, methodological approaches and outlines the significance of the findings. Expert commentary: Plasma proteomics is expanding significantly as a result of major advancements in proteomic technology. This is in synergy with the growing focus on true early disease detection and prevention in early life. We are about to see a new era of advanced medical science built from pediatric proteomics.

Abstract
Congenital heart disease (CHD) often requires surgical intervention, and is sometimes associated with life-threatening post-operative complications. We have investigated some factors of the innate immune system involved in the initiation or regulation of complement lectin pathway activation (MASP-1, MASP-2 MASP-3, MAp19, MAp44, ficolin-3) and related them to complications and prognosis in 190 pediatric patients undergoing CHD repair with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Patients with MAp44 levels ≤1.81 µg/ml more frequently experienced low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS), renal insufficiency, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiorgan dysfunction (MODS). Low MASP-3 (≤5.18 µg/ml) and high MASP-1 (≥11.7 µg/ml) levels were often associated with fatal outcome. Low ficolin-3 concentrations (≤10.1 µg/ml) were more common among patients experiencing SIRS and MODS than in those without complications. However, patients suffering from SIRS and MODS with low ficolin-3 had a much better prognosis (91% survival vs. 37% among other patients; p = 0.007). A discriminating value of 12.7 µg/ml ficolin-3 yielded 8% vs. 60% mortality (p = 0.001). Our data extend the knowledge concerning involvement of proteins of the lectin pathway in development of post-CPB complications. The potential prognostic value of low preoperative MAp44 and high preoperative ficolin-3 seems promising and warrants independent confirmation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study aims to discover novel serum biomarkers of early-onset myocardial infarction (MI) using proteomic analysis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In the first stage, the iTRAQ-coupled LC-MS/MS technique is utilized to investigate protein profiles of patients with early-onset MI. In the second stage, these candidate proteins are validated using ELISA. RESULTS A total of 538 proteins are quantified, with pregnancy zone protein (PZP), leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein (LRG) and Apolipoprotein C-I (Apo C-I) being upregulated and Apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I) and Apolipoprotein A-IV (Apo A-IV) downregulated in early-onset MI patients. Results from the validation stage demonstrate that the serum concentrations of PZP and LRG are significantly increased in the early-onset MI group. The correlation between the concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP) and the two candidate biomarkers is positive. Area under the curve values used to diagnose early-onset MI for LRG and PZP are 0.939 and 0.874, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Five differential serum proteins are identified in early-onset MI using proteomic analysis. Lipoprotein-related biomarkers further demonstrate the close relationship between lipid metabolism and the disease. Inflammation-associated LRG and PZP may be novel biomarkers of the disease. In addition, changes in these proteins may partly reveal the possible mechanisms in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of early-onset MI.

Abstract
Patent ductus arteriosus is the third most common congenital heart disease and resulted from the persistence of ductal patency after birth. Ductus arteriosus closure involves functional and structural remodeling, controlled by many factors. The changes in plasma protein levels associated with PDA closure are not known. Here we for the first time demonstrate six key differential plasma proteins in human patent ductus arteriosus patients using proteomic technology and present a model to illustrate the constriction and closure of ductus arteriosus. Differentially expressed proteins were analyzed by using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification and validated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in new samples. The proteomic data have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange Consortium via the PRIDE partner repository with the data set identifier PXD008568. We found 74 upregulated and 98 downregulated proteins in the plasma of patients with PDA. Five decreased proteins (platelet factor 4, fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, collagen, and mannose binding lectin-associated serine protease-2) and one increased protein (fibronectin) may increase the risk of patent ductus arteriosus. Those proteins are closely related to platelet activation and coagulation cascades, complement mannan-binding-lectin, and other systemic signaling pathways. Our findings for the first time indicate that the differential proteins involved in different pathways may play key roles in the nonclosure of the ductus arteriosus in humans and may be developed as biomarkers for diagnosis. All those findings may be served as the basis of understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of patent ductus arteriosus.

Abstract
Objective Chronic inflammation of the arteries is a critical mechanism responsible for coronary atherosclerosis. We aimed to determine if tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like cytokine 1A (TL1A) and decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) were involved in promoting atherosclerosis. Methods We compared plasma levels of TL1A and DcR3 in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (n=40) and patients without CAD group (n=37, normal coronary artery angiogram) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We also analyzed the correlation between CAD and SYNTAX scores. Results Plasma levels of TL1A and DcR3 were significantly higher in the CAD compared with the no-CAD group. Multivariate analysis showed that TL1A and DcR3 were significantly correlated with the presence of CAD, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that both TL1A and DcR3 showed high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing CAD. Furthermore, TL1A was positively and significantly correlated with SYNTAX score in CAD patients. Conclusions CAD patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting have high circulating levels of both TL1A and DcR3, which may thus be useful biomarkers for diagnosing severe CAD. Furthermore, plasma levels of TL1A correlate with SYNTAX score, supporting its potential use as an indicator of the severity of CAD.

Abstract
Congenital heart defect (CHD) is one of the most common birth defects and is the leading cause of neonatal death. Currently, there are no biomarkers available for prenatal diagnosis of CHD. Clinical strategies to diagnose CHD mostly depend on fetal echocardiography. Recent advances in "omics" techniques have opened up new possibilities for biomarker discoveries. In this review, we discuss recent advances in prenatal detection of CHD using biomarkers obtained by "omics" approaches, including genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and others. There is great potential in obtaining various kinds of parameters using "omics" studies to facilitate early and accurate diagnosis of CHD.

Abstract
Electrical and structural remodeling processes are contributors to the self-perpetuating nature of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, their correlation has not been clarified. In this study, human atrial tissues from the patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease in either sinus rhythm or persistent AF were analyzed using a combined transcriptomic and proteomic approach. An up-regulation in chloride intracellular channel (CLIC) 1, 4, 5 and a rise in type IV collagen were revealed. Combined with the results from immunohistochemistry and electron microscope analysis, the distribution of type IV collagen and effects of fibrosis on myocyte membrane indicated the possible interaction between CLIC and type IV collagen, confirmed by protein structure prediction and co-immunoprecipitation. These results indicate that CLICs play an important role in the development of atrial fibrillation and that CLICs and structural type IV collagen may interact on each other to promote the development of AF in rheumatic mitral valve disease.

Abstract
This study was designed to validate thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1), vascular endothelial-cadherin complex (VE-cad), insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2), and amyloid precursor protein (APP) and assess their diagnostic value in ventricular septal defect (VSD). We investigated the serum levels of TSP-1, VE-cad, IGF-2, and APP by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in a hospital-based case-control study that included 40 VSD children and 40 healthy controls. Logistic regression analysis was applied to evaluate the relationship of the proteins and VSD, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the diagnostic value of the significant proteins. The serum levels of TSP-1, VE-cad, and IGF-2 were significantly higher in VSD patients than those in healthy controls (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that high levels of TSP-1, VE-cad, and IGF-2 were significantly associated with an increased risk of VSD [TSP-1 (OR 26.91, 95% CI 6.60-72.66, p < 0.001), VE-cad (OR 11.91, 95% CI 3.90-36.36, p < 0.001), IGF-2 (OR 3.25, 95% CI 1.25-8.43, p = 0.015)]. Areas under the ROC curve for TSP-1, VE-cad, and IGF-2 were 0.985, 0.838, and 0.658, respectively. These data demonstrated that TSP-1, VE-cad, and IGF-2 were significantly associated with risk of VSD and manifested diagnostic values, which may provide new evidence for understanding the etiology and promote the early diagnosis and prevention of VSD.

Abstract
This study was designed to identify the protein profiling in patients with triple vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing CABG, in order to detect CAD-related differential proteins in these patients. CABG patients with triple vessel disease with/without left main stenosis (n =160) were compared to normal coronary angiographic subjects (n =160). Plasma samples of 20 males and 20 females in each group were analyzed with iTRAQ technique. ELISA test was used to test the chosen proteins from iTRAQ results in plasma samples from a new cohort of the CABG group (n=120, male/femal=61/59) and control (n =120, male/female=60/60). iTRAQ detected 544 proteins with 35 up-regulated and 41 down-regulated (change fold > 1.2 or < 0.83, p < 0.05). Three proteins including platelet factor 4 (PF4), coagulation factor XIII B chain (F13B), and secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (sFRP1) were selected for validation by using ELISA that demonstrated significant up-regulation of PF4 and sFRP1 (p < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between these proteins and CAD (p < 0.05) and myocardial infarction history (p < 0.05). Thus, we for the first time have found 76 proteins differentially expressed in plasma of CABG patients. The thrombotic disease/inflammation progress-related protein PF4 and sFRP1, a member of the Wnt/fz signal-transduction pathway and related to myocardial repair, are significantly up-regulated in triple-vessel disease with/without left main stenosis. PF4 may be developed as a biomarker for the diagnosis of the severity of CAD requiring CABG procedure.

Abstract
Background Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MVD) is the most common acquired heart disease in dogs, and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (CKCS) is the most studied breed because of the high prevalence, early onset and hereditary component evidenced in the breed. MVD has different severity levels, and there are many practical limitations in identifying its asymptomatic stages. Proteomic techniques are valuable for studying the proteins and peptides involved in cardiovascular diseases, including the period prior to the clinical onset of the disease. The aim of this study was to identify the serum proteins that were differentially expressed in healthy CKCS and those affected by MVD in mild to severe stages. Proteomics analysis was performed using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis separation and a bioinformatics analysis for the detection of differentially expressed spots. In a comparative analysis, protein spots with a p < 0.05 (ANOVA) were considered statistically significant and were excised from the gels for analysis by MALDI–TOF–MS for protein identification. Results Eight proteins resulted differentially expressed among the groups and significantly related to the progression of the disease. In mild affected group versus healthy dogs complement factor H isoform 2, inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase, hemopexin, dystrobrevin beta isoform X7 and CD5 molecule-like resulted to be down-regulated, whereas fibronectin type-III domain-containing protein 3A isoform X4 was up-regulated. In severe affected dogs versus healthy group complement factor H isoform 2, calpain-3 isoform X2, dystrobrevin beta isoform X7, CD5 molecule-like and l-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase resulted to be down-regulated. Complement factor H isoform 2, calpain-3 isoform X2, dystrobrevin beta isoform X7, CD5 molecule-like and hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase were found to be down-regulated in mild affected group versus healthy dogs. All of these proteins except complement factor H followed a decreasing trend according to the progression of the pathology. Conclusion The differential expression of serum proteins demonstrates the possibility these might be valuable for the detection and monitoring of the disease. Further longitudinal studies are required to determine whether differential protein expression occurs sufficiently early in the progression of the disease and with sufficient predictive value to allow proteomics analysis to be used as an early detection and on-line diagnostic tool.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (CHD-PAH) has serious consequence and plasma protein profiles in CHD-PAH are unknown. We aimed to reveal the differential plasma proteins in 272 CHD patients with or without PAH. Various types of CHD-PAH were studied. Differential plasma proteins were first detected by iTRAQ proteomic technology and those with significant clinical relevance were selected for further ELISA validation in new cohort of patients. Among the 190 differential plasma proteins detected by iTRAQ, carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase I (CPSI, related to urea cycle and endogenous nitric oxide production) and complement factor H-related protein 2 (CFHR2, related to complement system and coagulant mechanism) were selected for further ELISA validation in new cohort of 152 patients. Both CPSI and CFHR2 were down-regulated with decreased plasma levels (p < 0.01). Thus, we for the first time in CHD-PAH patients identified a large number of differential plasma proteins. The decreased CPSI expression in CHD-PAH patients may reveal a mechanism related to endogenous nitric oxide and the decrease of CFHR2 protein may demonstrate the deficiency of the immune system and coagulation mechanism. The findings may open a new direction for translational medicine in CHD-PAH with regard to the diagnosis and progress of the disease.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and the risk for congenital heart disease (CHD). Electronic literature databases were searched to identify eligible studies published before Jun, 2014. The association was assessed by the odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The publication bias was explored using Begg's test. Sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the stability of the crude results. A total of 35 studies were included in this meta-analysis. For the MTHFR C677T polymorphism, we detected significant association in all genetic models for Asian children and the maternal population. Significant association was also detected in T vs. C for a Caucasian paediatric population (OR = 1.163, 95% CI: 1.008–1.342) and in both T vs. C (OR = 1.125, 95% CI: 1.043–1.214) and the dominant model (OR = 1.216, 95% CI:b1.096–1.348) for a Caucasian maternal population. For the MTHFR A1298C polymorphism, the association was detected in CC vs. AC for the Caucasian paediatric population (OR = 1.484, 95% CI: 1.035–2.128). Our results support the MTHFR -677T allele as a susceptibility factor for CHD in the Asian maternal population and the -1298C allele as a risk factor in the Caucasian paediatric population.

Abstract
Objective To identify differentially expressed proteins from serum of pregnant women carrying a conotruncal heart defects (CTD) fetus, using proteomic analysis. Methods The study was conducted using a nested case-control design. The 5473 maternal serum samples were collected at 14–18 weeks of gestation. The serum from 9 pregnant women carrying a CTD fetus, 10 with another CHD (ACHD) fetus, and 11 with a normal fetus were selected from the above samples, and analyzed by using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) coupled with two-dimensional liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(2D LC-MS/MS). The differentially expressed proteins identified by iTRAQ were further validated with Western blot. Results A total of 105 unique proteins present in the three groups were identified, and relative expression data were obtained for 92 of them with high confidence by employing the iTRAQ-based experiments. The downregulation of gelsolin in maternal serum of fetus with CTD was further verified by Western blot. Conclusions The identification of differentially expressed protein gelsolin in the serum of the pregnant women carrying a CTD fetus by using proteomic technology may be able to serve as a foundation to further explore the biomarker for detection of CTD fetus from the maternal serum.
