Project description:Bicuspid aortic valve is well known as a risk factor of dilation of ascending aorta. But the mechanisms of dialation are unknown. Morever, patients with bicuspid aortic valve tend to be aortic valve disease at younger age. After aortic valve surgery, if ascending aorta is dilated, the patient must be performed re-operation. For that reason, surgery for aortic root or ascending aorta is recommended to patient with bicuspid aortic valve with dilated ascending aorta. We thought that abnormality of cell cycle of the structure protein participated in ascending aorta dilation of patient with bicuspid aortic valve. We resected the wall of the ascending aota from patient undergoing aortic valve replacement for aortic valve stenosis during operation, and performed immunohistochemical staining for akt. Anti Akt antibodys were stained much on aortic media with bicuspoed aortic valve. Akt is a protein that is involved in mTOR / PI3K, and modulate the cell differenciation and proliferation. Further, the same samples were analyzed using a microarray method. On bicuspid aortic valve patients, the expression of TSC2 is reduced, and GβL is increased. TSC2 inhibit this pathway, and MLST8 activate this pathway. In the ascending aorta of BAV patients, PI3K / mTOR system is considered to be activated. When this pathway is activated, cell proliferation and cytodifferentiation are promoted abnormally,

Project description:Patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) have increased risk of thoracic ascending aortic aneurysm (AscAA) and dissection compared to those with a normal tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). The present study was undertaken to evaluate whether differences in gene expression exist in aortas from BAV and TAV patients with AscAA. Experiment Overall Design: Aneurysmal tissue of ascending aorta was collected from 13 patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and 12 patients with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). Patients were selected on the basis of aortic diameter, age and other disease conditions. Patients with giant cell aortitis, cardiovascular abnormalities, inherited connective tissue disorders such as Marfan and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome were excluded from the study. RNA was extracted using Invitrogen RNA extraction kit and shown to be of adequate quality before application to Affymetrix microarray U133A gene chips probing for over 16,000 genes per chip. Two different methods of data analysis were performed: a linear model and GeneSpring.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The vast majority of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) are observed either together with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), a common congenital disorder, or in idiopathic cases such as patients with a normal tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). The main objective of our study was to identify shared and unique gene expression properties underlying the aortic dilation of BAV and TAV patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: Tissue biopsies for RNA and histological analyses were obtained from aorta of non-dilated (<40mm) and dilated (>45mm) aorta of BAV and TAV patients (in total 131 patients). Additional controls were from mammary artery of the same patients (n=88) and aorta from transplant donors (n=13). Gene expression profiles generated using Affymetrix Exon arrays were analyzed from controls and from aorta intima-media and adventitia of patients (in total 345 samples). 606 genes in aortic intima-media were found to be differentially expressed with dilation. Of these, only few (<4%) were differentially expressed in both BAV and TAV patients. Gene set enrichment analysis identified cell adhesion and extracellular region gene ontology sets as common features of TAA in BAV and TAV patients. The set of immune response genes was observed to be particularly overexpressed in aortic media of dilated TAV samples. CONCLUSION: The divergent gene expression profiles indicate fundamental differences in TAA etiology of BAV and TAV patients. Immune response activation solely in the aorta media of TAV patients suggests that inflammation is a causal factor of TAA in this patient group. Biobank of patient material.

Project description:Elastic fibers provide reversible elasticity to the large arteries and are assembled during development when hemodynamic forces are increasing. Mutations in elastic fiber genes are associated with cardiovascular disease. Mice lacking expression of the elastic fiber genes elastin (Eln-/-), fibulin-4 (Efemp2-/-), or lysyl oxidase (Lox-/-) die at birth with severe cardiovascular malformations. All three genetic knockout models have elastic fiber defects, aortic wall thickening, and arterial tortuosity. However, Eln-/- mice develop arterial stenoses, while Efemp2-/- and Lox-/- mice develop ascending aortic aneurysms. We performed comparative gene array analyses of these three genetic models for two vascular locations and developmental stages to determine differentially expressed genes and pathways that may explain the common and divergent phenotypes. We first examined arterial morphology and wall structure in newborn mice to confirm that the lack of elastin, fibulin-4, or lysyl oxidase expression provided the expected phenotypes. We then compared gene expression levels for each genetic model by three-way ANOVA for genotype, vascular location, and developmental stage. We found three genes upregulated by genotype in all three models, Col8a1, Igfbp2, and Thbs1, indicative of a common response to severe elastic fiber defects in developing mouse aorta. Genes that are differentially regulated by vascular location or developmental stage in all three models suggest mechanisms for location or stage specific disease pathology. Comparison of signaling pathways enriched in all three models shows upregulation of integrins and matrix proteins involved in early wound healing, but not of mature matrix molecules such as elastic fiber proteins or fibrillar collagens.

Project description:Lysyl oxidase is an extracellular enzyme essential for crosslinking elastin and collagen. Mice that do not express Lox have 60% and 40% reductions in elastin-specific and collagen-specific crosslinks, respectively. Mutations in LOX are associated with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD). Lysyl oxidase knockout mice dye perinatally with ruptured diaphragm, tortuous arteries, and TAAD This is the first study to analyze the mechanical and genetic changes induced by the absence of lysyl oxidase in the thoracic aorta, and may provide new therapeutic targets relevant for the pathogenesis of thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections

Project description:Located at the junction of left ventricle and ascending aorta, aortic root is a central cardiovascular structure consisting of aortic valve and coronary ostium that are essential for systemic and coronary circulation, respectively. Malformations of aortic valve and coronary ostium are common birth defects and may occur together in human patients, leading to complex complications including aortic valve stenosis, myocardial ischemia, heart failure and sudden cardiac death. Despite of their physiological and clinical significances, the developmental and molecular mechanisms by which coordinate the formation of aortic valve and coronary ostium remain poorly understood. Here we report that SOX17 (SRY-box 17) is an essential transcription factor required for the maturation of aortic root, as well as the patterning of aortic valve and coronary ostium. We show in mouse that deletion of Sox17 in the aortic root endothelium results in defective aortic valve with underdeveloped non-coronary leaflet (NCL) or bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) without NCL. The valve defects are accompanied by misplaced left coronary ostium that reduces coronary blood flow, leading to myocardial hypoxia and death of embryos. Mechanistically, deletion of Sox17 decreases the expression of Pdgfb (Platelet derived growth factor, B polypeptide) in the aortic root endothelium and the PDGF growth signaling in the NCL mesenchyme and aortic root smooth muscle, both of which are derived from the second heart field (SHF) cardiomyocyte precursors. Furthermore, the deletion upregulates the expression of Ctgf (Connective tissue growth factor) and the extracellular matrix (ECM) genes, whereas downregulates the vascular smooth muscle genes, in the forming aortic root. Together, these findings support a developmental disease mechanism in which delayed growth and maturation of aortic root, due to lack of SOX17-PDGF/CTGF signaling, contributes to BAV and CAAs, two common congenital cardiovascular defects.
