Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling shows dysregulated immune and metabolic pathways in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
Article in ESC heart failure, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsArrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a hereditary heart disease characterized by fibrofatty myocardial replacement and a predisposition to malignant ventricular arrhythmias. The underlying pathomechanisms remain incompletely understood, and specific disease markers are sparse. This study aimed to characterize the myocardial transcriptome and proteome in ACM patients and assess whether key identified molecules were also detectable in plasma and tissue samples. METHODS AND
resultsMyocardial tissues were obtained from ACM and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients as well as healthy controls (n = 10/group). Transcriptomic profiling was performed by RNA sequencing and proteomic profiling by label-free liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Differential expression and pathway enrichment analyses were performed to identify key biological processes. Selected targets were validated by tissue immunofluorescence and plasma ELISA. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 3030 dysregulated mRNAs in ACM versus healthy controls and 120 versus DCM. Enriched clusters in ACM versus healthy controls were related to immune activation, inflammation, extracellular matrix remodelling and mitochondrial stress; redox and metabolic processes, cell junction regulation and immune responses were enriched clusters in ACM versus DCM. Proteomics identified 206 and 65 differentially expressed proteins, respectively. Three novel proteins, UCHL1, OCIAD1 and desmoyokin, were consistently up-regulated at transcript and protein levels. The latter two were confirmed in myocardial tissue staining and showed elevated plasma levels in ACM compared with DCM and controls.
conclusionThis integrated transcriptomic and proteomic study of myocardial tissue and plasma from patients with ACM compared with those with DCM and healthy controls, identified key dysregulated pathways, involving immune response, inflammation and oxidative and mitochondrial stress. Desmoyokin and OCIAD1, in particular, may represent specific candidate biomarkers for ACM.
