Target validation. Out of the tested 17 targets, five genes (Fmr1: FMRP translational regulator 1/fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1, Zfmp2: zinc finger protein, multitype 2, Wasl: WASP like actin nucleation promoting factor, Ets1: ETS proto-oncogene 1 and Atg16l1: autophagy related 16-like 1) showed reduced mRNA expression in the ABHF (aortic banded group with systolic heart failure) compared to the ABLVH (aortic banded group without systolic heart failure) group. Furthermore, a tendency towards decreased values without reaching the level of significance was observed in case of Phtf2 (putative homeodomain transcription factor 2), Nr3c1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1). Mier3 (MIER family member 3), Clock (clock circadian regulator) and Ankib3 (ankyrin repeat and IBR domain-containing protein 1). No changes could be detected in mRNA expression between the two study groups in case of Acsl4 (acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4), Tle4 (TLE family member 4, transcriptional corepressor), Wdfy3 (WD repeat and FYVE domain containing 3), Psd3 (pleckstrin And Sec7 Domain Containing 3), Jazf1 (JAZF zinc finger 1) and Epha5 (EPH receptor A5). Sample numbers were n = 8 in the ABLVH and n = 5 in the ABHF groups. Depending on the distribution of the datasets, two sample Student’s t test or Mann–Whitney tests were carried out. Data normalized to the ABLVH are depicted. *P < 0.05.
