Transcriptome profiling of porcine valvular interstitial cells undergoing mesenchymal-to-endothelial transition under osteogenic induction
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a progressive disorder characterized by fibrosis, calcification, and endothelial dysfunction. Valvular interstitial cells (VICs) are the predominant cell type within the aortic valve and play key roles in valve remodeling. Recent evidence suggests that VICs exhibit phenotypic plasticity and may undergo mesenchymal-to-endothelial transition (MEndT) under calcific conditions. To explore the transcriptional landscape of this process, we performed RNA sequencing on primary porcine VICs cultured in growth medium (GM), osteogenic medium (OM) for 8 days, and primary porcine valve endothelial cells (pVECs). This dataset provides a resource for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying MEndT and its potential contribution to CAVD pathogenesis.
