A multi-network comparative analysis of transcriptome and translatome in cardiac remodeling
Our understanding of the transition from physiological to pathological cardiac hypertrophy remains elusive and largely based on reductionist hypotheses. Here, we profiled the translatomes of 15 mouse hearts to provide a molecular blueprint of altered gene networks in early cardiac remodeling. Using co-expression analysis, we reveal how sub-networks are orchestrated into functional modules associated with pathological phenotypes. We show how transcriptome networks are only partially reproducible at the translatome level. We find unappreciated hub genes and genes in the transcriptional network that were rewired in the translational network, and associated with semantically different subsets of enriched functional terms, providing novel insights into the complexity of the organization of in vivo cardiac regulatory networks.View Full Text
