Abstract
Vascular calcification (VC) is considered a common pathological process in various vascular diseases. Accumulating studies have confirmed that VC is involved in the inflammatory response in heart disease, and SPP1+ macrophages play an important role in this process. In VC, studies have focused on the physiological and pathological functions of macrophages, such as pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory cytokines and pro-fibrotic vesicles. Additionally, macrophages and activated lymphocytes highly express SPP1 in atherosclerotic plaques, which promote the formation of fatty streaks and plaque development, and SPP1 is also involved in the calcification process of atherosclerotic plaques that results in heart failure, but the crosstalk between SPP1-mediated immune cells and VC has not been adequately addressed. In this review, we summarize the regulatory effect of SPP1 on VC in T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells in different organs' VC, which could be a potential therapeutic target for VC.

Abstract
Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is a widespread valvular heart disease affecting people in aging societies, primarily characterized by fibrosis, inflammation, and progressive calcification, leading to valve orifice stenosis. Understanding the factors associated with CAVS onset and progression is crucial to develop effective future pharmaceutical therapies. In CAVS, native extracellular matrix proteins modifications, play a significant role in calcification in vitro and in vivo. This work aimed to review the evidence on the alterations of structural native extracellular matrix proteins involved in calcification development during CAVS and highlight its link to deregulated biomechanical function.

[PMID: 37491214 PMCID: PMC10367311 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-023-09441-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a common valve disease with an increasing incidence, but no effective drugs as of yet. With the development of sequencing technology, non-coding RNAs have been found to play roles in many diseases as well as CAVD, but no circRNA/lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction axis has been established. Moreover, valve interstitial cells (VICs) and valvular endothelial cells (VECs) play important roles in CAVD, and CAVD differed between leaflet phenotypes and genders. This work aims to explore the mechanism of circRNA/lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network in CAVD, and perform subgroup analysis on the important characteristics of CAVD, such as key cells, leaflet phenotypes and genders. RESULTS We identified 158 differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs), 397 DElncRNAs, 45 DEmiRNAs and 167 DEmRNAs, and constructed a hsa-circ-0073813/hsa-circ-0027587-hsa-miR-525-5p-SPP1/HMOX1/CD28 network in CAVD after qRT-PCR verification. Additionally, 17 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in VICs, 9 DEGs in VECs, 7 DEGs between different leaflet phenotypes and 24 DEGs between different genders were identified. Enrichment analysis suggested the potentially important pathways in inflammation and fibro-calcification during the pathogenesis of CAVD, and immune cell patterns in CAVD suggest that M0 macrophages and memory B cells memory were significantly increased, and many genes in immune cells were also differently expressed. CONCLUSIONS The circRNA/lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction axis constructed in this work and the DEGs identified between different characteristics of CAVD provide a direction for a deeper understanding of CAVD and provide possible diagnostic markers and treatment targets for CAVD in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Aortic valve disease is a leading global cause of morbidity and mortality, posing an increasing burden on society. Advances in next-generation technologies and disease models over the last decade have further delineated the genetic and molecular factors that might be exploited in development of therapeutics for affected patients. This review describes several advances in the molecular and genetic understanding of AVD, focusing on bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). RECENT FINDINGS Genomic studies have identified a myriad of genes implicated in the development of BAV, including NOTCH1 , SMAD6 and ADAMTS19 , along with members of the GATA and ROBO gene families. Similarly, several genes associated with the initiation and progression of CAVD, including NOTCH1 , LPA , PALMD , IL6 and FADS1/2 , serve as the launching point for emerging clinical trials. SUMMARY These new insights into the genetic contributors of AVD have offered new avenues for translational disease investigation, bridging molecular discoveries to emergent pharmacotherapeutic options. Future studies aimed at uncovering new genetic associations and further defining implicated molecular pathways are fuelling the new wave of drug discovery.

Potential biomarkers and immune cell infiltration involved in aortic valve calcification identified through integrated bioinformatics analysis. Front Physiol 2022; 13:944551. [PMID: 36589450 PMCID: PMC9797982 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.944551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the most common valvular heart disease in the aging population, resulting in a significant health and economic burden worldwide, but its underlying diagnostic biomarkers and pathophysiological mechanisms are not fully understood. Methods: Three publicly available gene expression profiles (GSE12644, GSE51472, and GSE77287) from human Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) and normal aortic valve samples were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database for combined analysis. R software was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and conduct functional investigations. Two machine learning algorithms, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE), were applied to identify key feature genes as potential biomarkers for Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the discriminatory ability of key genes. The CIBERSORT deconvolution algorithm was used to determine differential immune cell infiltration and the relationship between key genes and immune cell types. Finally, the Expression level and diagnostic ability of the identified biomarkers were further validated in an external dataset (GSE83453), a single-cell sequencing dataset (SRP222100), and immunohistochemical staining of human clinical tissue samples, respectively. Results: In total, 34 identified DEGs included 21 upregulated and 13 downregulated genes. DEGs were mainly involved in immune-related pathways such as leukocyte migration, granulocyte chemotaxis, cytokine activity, and IL-17 signaling. The machine learning algorithm identified SCG2 and CCL19 as key feature genes [area under the ROC curve (AUC) = 0.940 and 0.913, respectively; validation AUC = 0.917 and 0.903, respectively]. CIBERSORT analysis indicated that the proportion of immune cells in Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) was different from that in normal aortic valve tissues, specifically M2 and M0 macrophages. Key genes SCG2 and CCL19 were significantly positively correlated with M0 macrophages. Single-cell sequencing analysis and immunohistochemical staining of human aortic valve tissue samples showed that SCG2 and CCL19 were increased in Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) valves. Conclusion: SCG2 and CCL19 are potential novel biomarkers of Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) and may play important roles in the biological process of Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). Our findings advance understanding of the underlying mechanisms of Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) pathogenesis and provide valuable information for future research into novel diagnostic and immunotherapeutic targets for Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD).

Identifying hub genes of calcific aortic valve disease and revealing the immune infiltration landscape based on multiple WGCNA and single-cell sequence analysis. Front Immunol 2022; 13:1035285.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a progressive fibrocalcific disease that can be treated only through valve replacement. This study aimed to determine the role of hub genes and immune cell infiltration in CAVD progression. METHODS In this study, bioinformatics analysis was used to identify hub genes involved in CAVD. The datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Gene expression differences were evaluated via pathway and Gene Ontology analyses. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and differentially expressed genes were used to screen hub genes. The CIBERSORT algorithm was used to compare immune infiltration into the calcified aortic valve based on the hub genes between high- and low-expression groups. We also performed single-cell RNA sequencing based on six different human aortic valve leaflets. The expression of hub genes was identified in human and mouse samples through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and ELISA, and clinical features of the patients were investigated. RESULTS In total, 454 differentially expressed genes were obtained from the GEO database. WGCNA was used to find 12 co-expression modules in the Array Express database, of which one hub module (brown module) was most correlated with CAVD. Two hub genes were identified after combining the differentially expressed genes S100A8 and S100A9. Regarding these genes, the immune infiltration profiles varied between high- and low-expression groups. Compared with that in the low hub gene expression group, the high hub gene expression group had a higher proportion of activated NK cells (p < 0.01) and M1 macrophages (p < 0.05). The expression of S100A8 and S100A9 was consistent with single-gene RNA sequencing results, confirming that the expression levels of these two hub genes are significantly upregulated in patients with CAVD (p < 0.01). Furthermore, these results were verified using mouse and human samples by performing immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, qPCR, and ELISA analyses. Finally, the localization of S100A8 and S100A9 in monocytes and macrophages was confirmed via immunofluorescence using human aortic valves. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate that S100A8 and S100A9 are two hub genes involved in CAVD, which might play an important role in its development through immune-related signaling pathways.

Abstract
Background: As the most prevalent valvular heart disease, calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) has become a primary cause of aortic valve stenosis and insufficiency. We aim to illustrate the roles of immune related genes (IRGs) and immune cells infiltration in the occurrence of CAVD.Methods: Integrative meta-analysis of expression data (INMEX) was adopted to incorporate multiple gene expression datasets of CAVD from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. By matching the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to IRGs from “ImmPort” database, differentially expressed immune related genes (DEIRGs) were screened out. We performed enrichment analysis and found that DEIRGs in CAVD were closely related to inflammatory response and immune cells infiltration. We also constructed protein–protein interaction (PPI) network of DEIRGs and identified 5 key DEIRGs in CAVD according to the mixed character calculation results. Moreover, CIBERSORT algorithm was used to explore the profile of infiltrating immune cells in CAVD. Based on Spearman’s rank correlation method, correlation analysis between key DEIRGs and infiltrating immune cells was performed.Results: A total of 220 DEIRGs were identified and the enrichment analysis of DEIRGs showed that they were significantly enriched in inflammatory responses. PPI network was constructed and PTPN11, GRB2, SYK, PTPN6 and SHC1 were identified as key DEIRGs. Compared with normal aortic valve tissue samples, the proportion of neutrophils, T cells CD4 memory activated and macrophages M0 was elevated in calcified aortic valves tissue samples, as well as reduced infiltration of macrophages M2 and NK cells activated. Furthermore, key DEIRGs identified in the present study, including PTPN11, GRB2, PTPN6, SYK, and SHC1, were all significantly correlated with infiltration of various immune cells.Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggested that PTPN11, GRB2, PTPN6, SYK, and SHC1 might be key DEIRGs associated with immune cells infiltration, which play a pivotal role in pathogenesis of CAVD.
