Project description:The pathogenesis of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is unknown. XCT790 is a specific inhibitor of estrogen-associated receptor alpha (ERR-alpha) that inhibits valve calcification in mouse models. Here, we designed a nanocarrier targeting osteoblast-differentiated valve interstitial cells (VICs) for targeted delivery of XCT790 to the calcified area. We stimulated osteogenic differentiated VICs with this targeting nanoparticle, and performed RNA-seq to assess transcriptional alterations of VICs and explore specific mechanisms.

Project description:Valve interstial cells(VICs) are the major cellular compents in the aortic valve. Under pathological circumstances, normal VICs differentiate into myofibroblasts or osteoblast-like phentotypes, which play important roles in the pathogenesis of calcified aortic valve disease. We used micrroarrary analysis to compare the global programme of gene expression in normal and calcified human aortic valve intersitial cells (VICs), in order to find out some key factors that mediate the phenotype change of VICs.

Project description:A disease driver population within interstitial cells of human calcific aortic valves identified via single-cell and proteomic profiling Cellular heterogeneity of aortic valves complicates mechanistic evaluation of the calcification processes in calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), and animal disease models are lacking. In this study, we identify a disease driver population (DDP) within valvular interstitial cells (VICs). Through stepwise single-cell analysis, phenotype-guided -OMIC profiling, and network-based analysis, we characterize DDP fingerprint as CD44highCD29+CD59+CD73+CD45low and discover potential key regulators of human CAVD. These DDP-VICs demonstrate multi-lineage differentiation and osteogenic properties. Temporal proteomic profiling of DDP-VICs identifies potential targets for therapy, including MAOA and CTHRC1. In vitro loss-of-function experiments confirm our targets. Such a stepwise strategy may be advantageous for therapeutic target discovery in other disease contexts.

Project description:Purpose: The molecular mechanisms leading to premature development of aortic valve stenosis (AS) in individuals with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) are unknown. The objective of this study was to identify genes differentially expressed between calcified BAV and tricuspid valves with (TAVc) and without (TAVn) calcification using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Methods: Ten human calcified BAV and nine TAVc were collected from men who underwent aortic valve replacement. Eight TAVn were obtained from men who underwent heart transplantation. mRNA levels were measured using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 system. Reads were aligned with TopHat. Cuffdiff, DESeq, edgeR, and SAMSeq were used to compare gene expression. Genes with adjusted P < 0.05 in the four methods were called differentially expressed. Pathway analysis was performed with IPA. Results: Two genes were up-regulated and none were down-regulated in BAV compared to TAVc. There were 462 genes up-regulated and 282 down-regulated in BAV compared to TAVn. Compared to TAVn, 329 genes were up- and 170 were down-regulated in TAVc. Conclusions: This is the first transcriptome study on calcified and normal aortic valves using RNA-Seq. BAV and TAVc have a highly similar expression profile. These results contribute to our molecular understanding of AS and the identification of new therapeutic targets that are urgently needed to prevent, slow the development or treat AS in patients with bicuspid and tricuspid valves.

Project description:The role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) remains largely elusive. This study aims to report a novel therapeutic lncRNA, SNHG3, and elucidate its role in CAVD. Based on high-throughput transcriptomic sequencing of human aortic valves, SNHG3 is among the most highly expressed lncRNAs in CAVD. Furthermore, SNHG3 upregulation is verified in human calcified aortic valves, osteoblastic human aortic valve interstitial cells (hVICs), and aortic valve tissues in CAVD mice. Moreover, knockdown of SNHG3 with antisense oligonucleotide markedly ameliorates aortic valve calcification in high cholesterol diet-treated ApoE-/- mice, as evidenced by reduced calcium deposition in the aortic valve leaflets, improved echocardiographic parameters, and decreased osteogenic differentiation markers (RUNX2, osteopontin, and osteocalcin) in aortic valves. Consistent with these in vivo findings, SNHG3 overexpression aggravates the calcification of hVICs, while knockdown of SNHG3 alleviates the process of differential calcification. Transcriptomics sequencing, gene set enrichment analyses, RNA-pull down, RNA immunoprecipitation and chromatin immunoprecipitation-qPCR show that SNHG3 physically interacts with polycomb repressive complex 2 to suppress the H3K27 tri-methylation BMP2 locus, which in turn activates BMP2 expression and signaling pathways. Taken together, SNHG3 promotes aortic valve calcification by upregulating BMP2, which might be a novel therapeutic target in human CAVD.

Project description:Introduction: Renal failure is associated with aortic valve calcification. Using our rat model of uraemia-induced reversible aortic valve calcification, we assessed the role of apoptosis and survival pathways in aortic valve calcification. We also explored the effects of raloxifene - an estrogen receptor modulator on valvular calcification. Methods: Gene array analysis was performed in aortic valves obtained from 3 groups of rats (n=7 each): calcified valves from rats fed with uremic diet -high-adenine (0.75%), high-phosphate diet (1.5%), valves after calcification resolution following diet cessation (reversibility) and control. In addition, four groups of rats (n=10 each) were used in order to evaluate the effect of raloxifene in aortic valve calcification: three groups as mentioned above and a fourth group fed with the uremic diet which also received daily raloxifene. Evaluation of these groups included imaging, histology and antigen expression analysis. Results: Gene array results showed that the majority of the expressed genes that were altered were from the diet group valves. Most apoptosis-related genes were changed in a pro-apoptotic direction in calcified valves. Apoptosis and decrease in several survival pathways were confirmed in calcified valves. Resolution of aortic valve calcification was accompanied by decreased apoptosis and upregulation of these ant-apoptotic pathways. Imaging and histology demonstrated that raloxifene significantly decreased aortic valve calcification. Conclusion: Downregulation of several survival pathways and apoptosis are involved in the pathogenesis of aortic valve calcification. The beneficial effect of raloxifene in valve calcification is related to apoptosis modulation. This novel observation is important for developing remedies for aortic valve calcification in patients with renal failure. Introduction: Renal failure is associated with aortic valve calcification.

Project description:Although calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease, the molecular mechanisms underlying aortic valve calcification remain unknown. Here, we found a significant elevation in stanniocalcin-1 (STC1) expression in the valve interstitial cells (VICs) of calcific aortic valves by combined analysis of our comprehensive gene expression data and microarray datasets reported previously. Immunohistochemical staining showed that STC1 was located around the calcific area in the aortic valves of patients with CAVS. In vitro experiments using inhibitors and siRNA targeting osteoblast differentiation signaling revealed that activation of the Akt/STC1 axis was essential for runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) induction in the VICs. RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis of STC1-knocked down VICs in osteoblast differentiation medium resulted in silencing of the induction of osteoarthritis signaling-related genes, including RUNX2 and COL10A1. STC1 depletion in the murine CAVS model improved aortic valve dysfunction with high peak velocity and valve thickening and suppressed the appearance of osteochondrocytes. STC1-deficient mice also exhibited complete calcification abolishment, although partial valve thickening by aortic valve injury was observed. Our findings suggest that STC1 may be a critical factor in determining valve calcification and a novel target for preventing the transition to severe CAVS with calcification. We analyzed the gene expression profiles of the valve interstitial cells (VICs) isolated from noncalcific and calcific areas in calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) donors using a gene microarray.
