Differential Gene Expression Analysis of Human Atrial Fibroblasts Reveals Dysregulation of RNA Metabolism and Translational Machinery in Atrial Fibrillation
Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex cardiac arrhythmia characterized by extensive structural remodeling and the activation of atrial fibroblasts, which drive the progression of fibrosis. To identify the underlying transcriptomic alterations, we analyzed six human atrial fibroblast RNA-Seq datasets (three control and three AF) retrieved from the Sequence Read Archive. After performing rigorous quality control and adapter trimming, we aligned the reads to the GRCh38 human reference genome using a …
