Nitric oxide prevents aortic valve calcification by S-nitrosylation of USP9X to activate NOTCH signaling.

ABSTRACT: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is an increasingly prevalent condition, and endothelial dysfunction is implicated in its etiology. We previously identified nitric oxide (NO) as a calcification inhibitor by its activation of NOTCH1, which is genetically linked to human CAVD. Here, we show NO rescues calcification by an S-nitrosylation-mediated mechanism in porcine aortic valve interstitial cells and single-cell RNA-seq demonstrated NO regulates the NOTCH pathway. An unbiased proteomic approach to identify S-nitrosylated proteins in valve cells found enrichment of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and implicated S-nitrosylation of USP9X (ubiquitin specific peptidase 9, X-linked) in NOTCH regulation during calcification. Furthermore, S-nitrosylated USP9X was shown to deubiquitinate and stabilize MIB1 for NOTCH1 activation. Consistent with this, genetic deletion of Usp9x in mice demonstrated CAVD and human calcified aortic valves displayed reduced S-nitrosylation of USP9X. These results demonstrate a previously unidentified mechanism by which S-nitrosylation-dependent regulation of a ubiquitin-associated pathway prevents CAVD.

Project description:AimsThere is evidence to suggest that the subtype of aortic stenosis (AS), the degree of myocardial fibrosis (MF), and level of aortic valve calcification (AVC) are associated with adverse cardiac outcome in AS. Because little is known about their respective contribution, we sought to investigate their relative importance and interplay as well as their association with adverse cardiac events following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).Methods and resultsOne hundred consecutive patients with severe AS and indication for TAVR were prospectively enrolled between January 2017 and October 2018. Patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography, multidetector computed tomography, and left ventricular endomyocardial biopsies at the time of TAVR. The final study cohort consisted of 92 patients with a completed study protocol, 39 (42.4%) of whom showed a normal ejection fraction (EF) high-gradient (NEFHG) AS, 13 (14.1%) a low EF high-gradient (LEFHG) AS, 25 (27.2%) a low EF low-gradient (LEFLG) AS, and 15 (16.3%) a paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient (PLFLG) AS. The high-gradient phenotypes (NEFHG and LEFHG) showed the largest amount of AVC (807 ± 421 and 813 ± 281 mm3 , respectively) as compared with the low-gradient phenotypes (LEFLG and PLFLG; 503 ± 326 and 555 ± 594 mm3 , respectively, P < 0.05). Conversely, MF was most prevalent in low-output phenotypes (LEFLG > LEFHG > PLFLG > NEFHG, P < 0.05). This was paralleled by a greater cardiovascular (CV) mortality within 600 days after TAVR (LEFLG 28% > PLFLG 26.7% > LEFHG 15.4% > NEFHG 2.5%; P = 0.023). In patients with a high MF burden, a higher AVC was associated with a lower mortality following TAVR (P = 0.045, hazard ratio 0.261, 95% confidence interval 0.07-0.97).ConclusionsMF is associated with adverse CV outcome following TAVR, which is most prevalent in low EF situations. In the presence of large MF burden, patients with large AVC have better outcome following TAVR. Conversely, worse outcome in large MF and relatively little AVC may be explained by a relative prominence of an underlying cardiomyopathy. The better survival rates in large AVC patients following TAVR indicate TAVR induced relief of severe AS-associated pressure overload with subsequently improved outcome.
