Development of gene expression signatures of ascending aorta of the patients with bicuspid aortic valve compared to tricuspid aortic valve.

ABSTRACT: 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: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.
