Project description:Fewer than 50% of patients develop vascular and valvular calcification, implying differential pathogenesis. Disease stage-specific proteomics (normal/non-diseased/fibrotic/calcified areas) was performed on human carotid artery specimens from autopsy, carotid endarterectomy specimens, aortic valves from heart transplant recipients, and stenotic aortic valves.
Project description:We explored gene expression profile of human aortic valves in patients with or without aortic stenosis. The dataset that we generated constitutes a large-scale quantitative measurements of gene expression in normal and stenotic human valves. The goal was to compare gene expression levels between the two groups and identified a list of genes that are up- or down-regulated in aortic stenosis. Keywords: disease state analysis Gene expression was performed on ten normal and ten aortic stenosis valves

Project description:Fewer than 50% of patients develop vascular and valvular calcification, implying differential pathogenesis. Disease stage-specific proteomics (non-diseased/fibrotic/calcified areas) was performed on human carotid endarterectomy specimens and stenotic aortic valves merged per donor as fractions.
Project description:Calcified aortic valve leaflets (CAVs) were explanted from patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing aortic valve replacement at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Union Hospital, affiliated to Tongji Medical College. Control non-calcified aortic valves with normal echocardiographic analyses were obtained during heart transplant procedures. RNA was extracted from valve leaflets and gene expression evaluated using the Arraystar Human mRNA Array. This study aimed to perform the expression analysis of mRNA on human aortic valves.
Project description:To characterize the piRNA profiles of aortic valves from CAVD and non-CAVD patients, we performed piRNA sequencing using 4 human calcified aortic valves (CAVs) and 4 normal controls
