Networked-based characterization of extracellular matrix proteins from adult mouse pulmonary and aortic valves.

ABSTRACT: A precise mixture of extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by valvular cells forms a scaffold that lends the heart valve the exact mechanical and tensile strength needed for accurate hemodynamic performance. ECM proteins are a key component of valvular endothelial cell (VEC)-valvular interstitial cell (VIC) communication essential for maintenance of the valve structure. This study reports the healthy adult pulmonary and aortic valve proteomes characterized by LC-MS/MS, resulting in 2710 proteins expressed by 1513 genes, including over 300 abundant ECM proteins. Surprisingly, this study defines a distinct proteome for each semilunar valve. Protein-protein networking (PPN) was used as a tool to direct selection of proteomic candidates for biological investigation. Local PPN for nidogen 1 (Nid1), biglycan (Bgn), elastin microfibril interface-located protein 1 (Emilin-1), and milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 protein (Mfge8) were enriched with proteins essential to valve function and produced biological functions highly relevant to valve biology. Immunofluorescent investigations demonstrated that these proteins are functionally distributed within the pulmonary and aortic valve structure, indicative of important contribution to valve function. This study yields new insight into protein expression contributing to valvular maintenance and health and provides a platform for unbiased assessment of protein alterations during disease processes.

Project description:BackgroundThe durability of transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs) remains their greatest disadvantage, given that fixed tissue leaflets are not immune to structural degeneration from calcification and thrombosis. Therefore, a second intervention is necessary, especially given that TAV in low-risk patients has shown noninferior outcomes compared with surgery. This study aimed to assess the hemodynamic and turbulent properties of the flow downstream with different TAV-in-TAV configurations, to offer basic hemodynamic guidance for future interventions when currently implanted valves structurally degrade.MethodsSix TAV-in-TAV configurations were chosen: 23 mm Evolut-in-26 mm Evolut, 23 mm Evolut-in-23 mm SAPIEN 3, 26 mm Evolut-in-26 mm Evolut, 26 mm Evolut-in-23 mm SAPIEN 3, 23 mm SAPIEN3-in-26 mm Evolut, and 23 mm SAPIEN3-in-23 mm SAPIEN 3. Their hemodynamic performance was assessed in a pulse duplicator for 100 cycles. High-speed imaging and particle image velocimetry were performed to assess turbulence. Effective orifice area (EOA), pinwheeling index (PI), and Reynolds shear stress (RSS) were evaluated.ResultsThe largest mean EOA was obtained with 23 mm SAPIEN-in-26 mm Evolut (2.07 ± 0.06 cm2), and the smallest was obtained with 23 mm Evolut-in-23 mm SAPIEN (1.50 ± 0.04 cm2) (P < .001). The highest mean PI was obtained with SAPIEN-in-SAPIEN (26.5 ± 2.00%), and the lowest was obtained with 26 mm Evolut-in-26 mm Evolut (7.5 ± 1.6%) (P < .01). At peak systole, the least detrimental RSS range was obtained with 23 mm Evolut-in-26 mm Evolut (up to ∼340 Pa), and the most detrimental RSS range was obtained with 23 mm Evolut-in-SAPIEN (∼900 Pa) (P < .01).ConclusionsThis study shows that best hemodynamic parameters are TAV-specific (implanted and to be implanted). In addition, it shows that RSS levels, which are indicative of turbulence levels and associated with blood damage, are 2- to 3-fold higher after TAV-in-TAV.
