The occurrence of RHF and TR represents a critical indicator of hospitalization rates and all-cause mortality. However, RHF has remained understudied, specifically with respect to the tricuspid valve, with few animal models to investigate the transformative processes and identify novel interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Using the outbred sheep (\n                    <jats:italic>Ovis aries<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) model of pulmonary artery banding (PAB) that induces RHF and TR, we generated three batches of ribosomal reduced RNA sequencing for 354 samples (NCBI SRA PRJNA1182691) containing right ventricle, left ventricle, each tricuspid valve leaflet, each mitral valve leaflet, and the pulmonary artery that represents both male and female sheep. The reads were assembled into a\n                    <jats:italic>de novo<\/jats:italic>\n                    sheep heart transcriptome for differential analysis.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    The\n                    <jats:italic>de novo<\/jats:italic>\n                    sheep heart transcriptome enhanced transcript mapping of reads by 43-45% in the heart valves relative to the known sheep reference transcriptome. The identified transcripts produce validated tissue-specific pathways in ventricles (2,756 isoforms), pulmonary arteries (535 isoforms), and valves (1,215 isoforms), with transcript differences between the mitral and tricuspid valve involved in extracellular and endocrine signaling. The transcriptome also produced robust sex differences encoded by sex chromosomes and autosomes, highlighting epigenetic and sex hormone differences in the heart. Echocardiography and differential expression suggest that 8 weeks after PAB, the right ventricle has extensive morphological changes and known stress-induced lipid processing dysregulation. At 16-weeks post-PAB, tricuspid valve leaflets show the most significant transcriptional changes, with alterations in endocrine and immune pathway genes involved in cellular and extracellular remodeling. Genes within the tricuspid valve with differential expression and known human or mouse heart phenotypes include\n                    <jats:italic>FLNA<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>LTBP4<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>VDR<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>CR2<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>PIGQ<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>CENPF<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>ACKR3<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>CR1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>KLF2<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>HIF3A<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This project highlights the complexity of heart valve tissues and their transcriptional activity in a sheep model of RHF.
