Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and microRNAs (miRs) have been found to be differently expressed in patients with aortic valve stenosis (AS). Here, we profiled the expression of miRs associated with circulating EVs from severe AS patients and found several altered miRs compared with healthy counterparts. EVs from AS patients induced calcification through expression of the pro-osteogenic genes osteocalcin and osteopontin with corresponding proteins. The expression levels of miR-455-3p and miR-103a-3p were found correlated to the calcification of VICs. Alteration in these miR abrogated osteogenic differentiation of VICs. Additionally, BMP4 and transcriptional factor RUNX2 were found affected by these miRs.
期刊介绍:
JACC: Basic to Translational Science is an open access journal that is part of the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It focuses on advancing the field of Translational Cardiovascular Medicine and aims to accelerate the translation of new scientific discoveries into therapies that improve outcomes for patients with or at risk for Cardiovascular Disease. The journal covers thematic areas such as pre-clinical research, clinical trials, personalized medicine, novel drugs, devices, and biologics, proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics, as well as early phase clinical trial methodology.
