Project description:Introduction: Renal failure is associated with aortic valve calcification. Using our rat model of uraemia-induced reversible aortic valve calcification, we assessed the role of apoptosis and survival pathways in aortic valve calcification. We also explored the effects of raloxifene - an estrogen receptor modulator on valvular calcification. Methods: Gene array analysis was performed in aortic valves obtained from 3 groups of rats (n=7 each): calcified valves from rats fed with uremic diet -high-adenine (0.75%), high-phosphate diet (1.5%), valves after calcification resolution following diet cessation (reversibility) and control. In addition, four groups of rats (n=10 each) were used in order to evaluate the effect of raloxifene in aortic valve calcification: three groups as mentioned above and a fourth group fed with the uremic diet which also received daily raloxifene. Evaluation of these groups included imaging, histology and antigen expression analysis. Results: Gene array results showed that the majority of the expressed genes that were altered were from the diet group valves. Most apoptosis-related genes were changed in a pro-apoptotic direction in calcified valves. Apoptosis and decrease in several survival pathways were confirmed in calcified valves. Resolution of aortic valve calcification was accompanied by decreased apoptosis and upregulation of these ant-apoptotic pathways. Imaging and histology demonstrated that raloxifene significantly decreased aortic valve calcification. Conclusion: Downregulation of several survival pathways and apoptosis are involved in the pathogenesis of aortic valve calcification. The beneficial effect of raloxifene in valve calcification is related to apoptosis modulation. This novel observation is important for developing remedies for aortic valve calcification in patients with renal failure. Introduction: Renal failure is associated with aortic valve calcification.

Project description:Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital cardiac anomaly, with an estimated incidence of 1-2%. It is responsible for the greatest burden of aortic valve disease in patients younger than 70 years in North America. We performed microRNA profiling in end-stage valve leaflets with BAV and TAV. Patients undergoing elective aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis at St. Michael’s Hospital, University of Toronto, between June 2010 and June 2011 were enrolled. Aortic valve leaflets were obtained intraoperatively from patients with congenital bicuspid (BAV; N=10) and tricuspid aortic valves (TAV; N=10) at the time of valve replacement. Leaflets were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. MiRNA was isolated using the miRNeasy kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer`s instructions. For miRNA microarray analysis, total RNA was directly labeled with biotin and hybridized to the GenoExplorer microRNA human array containing 1583 human miRNA probes (Genosensor, Tempe, AZ) and the fluorescent signals were then scanned using a GenePix 4000b Biochip. The average of 3 mean fluorescence signal intensities for each miRNA probe was normalized to that for tRNAmet. Precursor miRNAs detected at 2-fold greater than background were considered to be expressed. Data were analyzed with GenePix 5.0 software, provided by GenoSensor Corp.

Project description:Although calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease, the molecular mechanisms underlying aortic valve calcification remain unknown. Here, we found a significant elevation in stanniocalcin-1 (STC1) expression in the valve interstitial cells (VICs) of calcific aortic valves by combined analysis of our comprehensive gene expression data and microarray datasets reported previously. Immunohistochemical staining showed that STC1 was located around the calcific area in the aortic valves of patients with CAVS. In vitro experiments using inhibitors and siRNA targeting osteoblast differentiation signaling revealed that activation of the Akt/STC1 axis was essential for runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) induction in the VICs. RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis of STC1-knocked down VICs in osteoblast differentiation medium resulted in silencing of the induction of osteoarthritis signaling-related genes, including RUNX2 and COL10A1. STC1 depletion in the murine CAVS model improved aortic valve dysfunction with high peak velocity and valve thickening and suppressed the appearance of osteochondrocytes. STC1-deficient mice also exhibited complete calcification abolishment, although partial valve thickening by aortic valve injury was observed. Our findings suggest that STC1 may be a critical factor in determining valve calcification and a novel target for preventing the transition to severe CAVS with calcification. We analyzed the gene expression profiles of the valve interstitial cells (VICs) isolated from noncalcific and calcific areas in calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) donors using a gene microarray.

Project description:The role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) remains largely elusive. This study aims to report a novel therapeutic lncRNA, SNHG3, and elucidate its role in CAVD. Based on high-throughput transcriptomic sequencing of human aortic valves, SNHG3 is among the most highly expressed lncRNAs in CAVD. Furthermore, SNHG3 upregulation is verified in human calcified aortic valves, osteoblastic human aortic valve interstitial cells (hVICs), and aortic valve tissues in CAVD mice. Moreover, knockdown of SNHG3 with antisense oligonucleotide markedly ameliorates aortic valve calcification in high cholesterol diet-treated ApoE-/- mice, as evidenced by reduced calcium deposition in the aortic valve leaflets, improved echocardiographic parameters, and decreased osteogenic differentiation markers (RUNX2, osteopontin, and osteocalcin) in aortic valves. Consistent with these in vivo findings, SNHG3 overexpression aggravates the calcification of hVICs, while knockdown of SNHG3 alleviates the process of differential calcification. Transcriptomics sequencing, gene set enrichment analyses, RNA-pull down, RNA immunoprecipitation and chromatin immunoprecipitation-qPCR show that SNHG3 physically interacts with polycomb repressive complex 2 to suppress the H3K27 tri-methylation BMP2 locus, which in turn activates BMP2 expression and signaling pathways. Taken together, SNHG3 promotes aortic valve calcification by upregulating BMP2, which might be a novel therapeutic target in human CAVD.

Project description:Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is a prevailing and life-threatening cardiovascular disease in adults over 75 years of age. However, the molecular mechanisms governing the pathogenesis of AVS are yet to be fully unraveled. With accumulating evidence that Wnt signaling plays a key role in the development of AVS, the involvement of intracellular Wnt molecules has become an integral study target in AVS pathogenesis. Thus, we hypothesized that the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway Wnt intracellular mediators, SFRP2, DVL2, GSK3β and β‐catenin are dysregulated in patients with AVS. Using immunohistochemistry, Real‐Time qPCR and Western blotting, we investigated the presence of SFRP2, GSK‐3β, DVL2 and β‐catenin in normal and stenotic human aortic valves. Markedly higher mRNA and protein expression of GSK‐3β, DVL2, β‐catenin and SFRP2 were found in stenotic aortic valves. This was further corroborated by observation of their abundant immunostaining, which displayed strong immunoreactivity in diseased aortic valves. Proteomic analyses of selective GSK3b inhibition in calcifying human aortic valve interstitial cells (HAVICs) revealed enrichment of proteins involved organophosphate metabolism, while reducing the activation of pathogenic biomolecular processes. Lastly, use of the potent calcification inhibitor, Fetuin A, in calcifying HAVICs significantly reduced the expression of Wnt signaling genes Wnt3a, Wnt5a, Wnt5b and Wnt11. The current findings of altered expression of canonical Wnt signaling in AVS suggest a possible role for regulatory Wnts in AVS. Hence, future studies focused on targeting these molecules are warranted to underline their role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Project description:We compared 15 severely diseased aortic valve sample to 16 control aortic valve samples using microRNA microarrays (Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 2.0). The diseased samples were taken from areas of severe disease of aortic valves removed at aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis. Control samples were obtained from macroscopically normal post-mortem aortic valves. In addition, we compared areas of mild or moderate disease on valves from participants with severe aortic stenosis to the same participant's severely diseased sample in seven participants.

Project description:Aortic valve calcification is the most common form of valvular heart disease, but the mechanisms of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) are unknown. NOTCH1 mutations are associated with aortic valve malformations and adult-onset calcification in families with inherited disease. The Notch signaling pathway is critical for multiple cell differentiation processes, but its role in the development of CAVD is not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular changes that occur with inhibition of Notch signaling in the aortic valve. Notch signaling pathway members are expressed in adult aortic valve cusps, and examination of diseased human aortic valves revealed decreased expression of NOTCH1 in areas of calcium deposition. To identify downstream mediators of Notch1, we examined gene expression changes that occur with chemical inhibition of Notch signaling in rat aortic valve interstitial cells (AVICs). We found significant downregulation of Sox9 along with several cartilage-specific genes that were direct targets of the transcription factor, Sox9. Loss of expression Sox9 has been published to be associated with aortic valve calcification. Utilizing an in vitro porcine aortic valve calcification model system, inhibition of Notch activity resulted in accelerated calcification while stimulation of Notch signaling attenuated the calcific process. Finally, the addition of Sox9 was able to prevent the calcification of porcine AVICs that occurs with Notch inhibition. In conclusion, loss of Notch signaling contributes to aortic valve calcification via a Sox9-dependent mechanism. 3 samples of aortic valve interstitial cells treated with DAPT were compared with 3 samples of aortic valve interstitial cells treated with DMSO
