Lipoprotein(a) Associated Molecules are Prominent Components in Plasma and Valve Leaflets in Calcific Aortic Valve Stenosis.

ABSTRACT: The LPA gene is the only monogenetic risk factor for calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS). Oxidized phospholipids (OxPL) and lysophosphatidic acid generated by autotaxin (ATX) from OxPL are pro-inflammatory. Aortic valve leaflets were categorized pathologically from Both ATX-apoB and ATX-apo(a) were measureable in plasma. Lp(a), autotaxin, OxPL and MDA epitopes progressively increased in immunostaining (p<0.001 for all). Six species of OxPL and LysoPA were identified following extraction from valve leaflets. The presence of a constellation of pathologically-linked, Lp(a)-associated molecules in plasma and in aortic valve leaflets of patients with CAVS suggest that Lp(a) is a key etiological factor in CAVS.

Lipoprotein(a) and oxidized phospholipids in calcific aortic valve stenosis.

Project description:As the incidence of calcific aortic valve stenosis increases with the aging of the population, improved understanding and novel therapies to reduce its progression and need for aortic valve replacement are urgently needed.Lipoprotein(a) is the only monogenetic risk factor for calcific aortic stenosis. Elevated levels are a strong, causal, independent risk factor, as demonstrated in epidemiological, genome-wide association studies and Mendelian randomization studies. Lipoprotein(a) is the major lipoprotein carrier of oxidized phospholipids, which are proinflammatory and promote calcification of vascular cells, two key pathophysiological drivers of aortic stenosis. Elevated plasma lipoprotein(a) and oxidized phospholipids predict progression of pre-existing aortic stenosis and need for aortic valve replacement. The failure of statin trials in pre-existing aortic stenosis may be partially due to an increase in lipoprotein(a) and oxidized phospholipid levels caused by statins. Antisense oligonucleotides targeted to apo(a) are in Phase 2 clinical development and shown to lower both lipoprotein(a) and oxidized phospholipids.Lipoprotein(a) and oxidized phospholipids are key therapeutic targets in calcific aortic stenosis. Strategies aimed at potent lipoprotein(a) lowering to normalize levels and/or to suppress the proinflammatory effects of oxidized phospholipids may prevent progression of this disease.

Lipoprotein (a) in calcific aortic valve disease: from genomics to novel drug target for aortic stenosis.

Project description:Calcific aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common form of valve disease in the Western world and affects over 2.5 million individuals in North America. Despite the large burden of disease, there are no medical treatments to slow the development of AS, due at least in part to our incomplete understanding of its causes. The Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genetic Epidemiology extra-coronary calcium consortium reported a genome-wide association study demonstrating that genetic variants in LPA are strongly associated with aortic valve (AV) calcium and clinical AS. Using a Mendelian randomization study design, it was demonstrated that the effect of this genetic variant is mediated by plasma lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], directly implicating elevations in Lp(a) as a cause of AV calcium and progression to AS. This discovery has sparked intense interest in Lp(a) as a modifiable cause for AV disease. Herein, we will review the mounting epidemiological and genetic findings in support of Lp(a)-mediated valve disease, discuss potential mechanisms underlying this observation, and outline the steps to translate this discovery to a much needed novel preventive and/or therapeutic strategy for AV disease.

Calcific aortic valve stenosis: methods, models, and mechanisms.

Project description:Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is a major health problem facing aging societies. The identification of osteoblast-like and osteoclast-like cells in human tissue has led to a major paradigm shift in the field. CAVS was thought to be a passive, degenerative process, whereas now the progression of calcification in CAVS is considered to be actively regulated. Mechanistic studies examining the contributions of true ectopic osteogenesis, nonosseous calcification, and ectopic osteoblast-like cells (that appear to function differently from skeletal osteoblasts) to valvular dysfunction have been facilitated by the development of mouse models of CAVS. Recent studies also suggest that valvular fibrosis, as well as calcification, may play an important role in restricting cusp movement, and CAVS may be more appropriately viewed as a fibrocalcific disease. High-resolution echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging have emerged as useful tools for testing the efficacy of pharmacological and genetic interventions in vivo. Key studies in humans and animals are reviewed that have shaped current paradigms in the field of CAVS, and suggest promising future areas for research.

Role for Galectin-3 in Calcific Aortic Valve Stenosis.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Aortic stenosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease, and calcification plays an important role in the progression of the disease. Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a proinflammatory molecule involved in vascular osteogenesis in atherosclerosis. Therefore, we hypothesized that Gal-3 could mediate valve calcification in AS. METHODS AND RESULTS:Blood samples and aortic valves (AVs) from 77 patients undergoing AV replacement were analyzed. As controls, noncalcified human AVs were obtained at autopsy (n=11). Gal-3 was spontaneously expressed in valvular interstitial cells (VICs) from AVs and increased in AS as compared to control AVs. Positive correlations were found between circulating and valvular Gal-3 levels. Valvular Gal-3 colocalized with the VICs markers, alpha-smooth muscle actin and vimentin, and with the osteogenic markers, osteopontin, bone morphogenetic protein 2, runt-related transcription factor 2, and SRY (sex-determining region Y)-box 9. Gal-3 also colocalized with the inflammatory markers cd68, cd80 and tumor necrosis factor alpha. In vitro, in VICs isolated from AVs, Gal-3 induced expression of inflammatory, fibrotic, and osteogenic markers through the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 pathway. Gal-3 expression was blocked in VICs undergoing osteoblastic differentiation using its pharmacological inhibitor, modified citrus pectin, or the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9 knockout system. Gal-3 blockade and knockdown decreased the expression of inflammatory, fibrotic, and osteogenic markers in differentiated VICs. CONCLUSIONS:Gal-3, which is overexpressed in AVs from AS patients, appears to play a central role in calcification in AS. Gal-3 could be a new therapeutic approach to delay the progression of AV calcification in AS.

Autotaxin and Lipoprotein Metabolism in Calcific Aortic Valve Disease.

Project description:Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a complex trait disorder characterized by calcific remodeling of leaflets. Genome-wide association (GWA) study and Mendelian randomization (MR) have highlighted that LPA, which encodes for apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)], is causally associated with CAVD. Apo(a) is the protein component of Lp(a), a LDL-like particle, which transports oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs). Autotaxin (ATX), which is encoded by ENPP2, is a member of the ecto-nucleotidase family of enzymes, which is, however, a lysophospholipase. As such, ATX converts phospholipids into lysophosphatidic acid (LysoPA), a metabolite with potent and diverse biological properties. Studies have recently underlined that ATX is enriched in the Lp(a) lipid fraction. Functional experiments and data obtained in mouse models suggest that ATX mediates inflammation and mineralization of the aortic valve. Recent findings also indicate that epigenetically-driven processes lower the expression of phospholipid phosphatase 3 (PLPP3) and increased LysoPA signaling and inflammation in the aortic valve during CAVD. These recent data thus provide novel insights about how lipoproteins mediate the development of CAVD. Herein, we review the implication of lipoproteins in CAVD and examine the role of ATX in promoting the osteogenic transition of valve interstitial cells (VICs).

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome with severe calcific aortic valve stenosis.

Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare premature aging syndrome that results from mutation in the Laminin A gene. This case report of a 12-year-old girl with HGPS is presented for the rarity of the syndrome and the classical clinical features that were observed in the patient. All patients with this condition should undergo early and periodic evaluation for cardiovascular diseases. However, the prognosis is poor and management is mainly conservative. There is no proven therapy available. Mortality in this uniformly fatal condition is primarily due to myocardial infarction, strokes or congestive cardiac failure between ages 7 and 21 years due to the rapidly progressive arteriosclerosis involving the large vessels.

Metabolomics Characterization of Human Calcific Aortic Valve Stenosis

Project description:BACKGROUND: Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed countries with significant morbidity and mortality. Given the poor understanding of the pathophysiological processes leading to CAVS, we utilized a joint non-targeted metabolomics and targeted lipidomics approach to better characterize the metabolic perturbations involved in its development and progression.METHODS: We collected human aortic valve tissue from 106 patients undergoing aortic valve replacement surgery. Our cohort represented aortic valvular hemodynamics from mild to severe aortic stenosis with varying degrees of valvular calcification.RESULTS: Seventy-two significantly differential (p<0.01) metabolites across different stages of CAVS severity were filtered and identified from the tissue metabolome. Each stage of valvular stenosis was characterized by a distinct metabolic signature. The top three perturbed metabolic pathways in the setting of CAVS involved glycerophospholipid metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism and primary bile acid biosynthesis. The lysophosphatidic acid species (LysoPA) exhibited significant (p<0.05) association with CAVS severity and were also found to select patients with accelerated rate of CAVS progression. Two LysoPA species namely, 18:2 LysoPA and 20:4 LysoPA, exhibited potential to serve as biomarkers of CAVS severity.CONCLUSIONS: The present study reports the largest and most comprehensive metabolomics analysis of human aortic valve stenosis that highlights the dysregulated LysoPA pathway involved in the pathogenesis of CAVS.
