Spermidine treatment reduced fibrosis and calcification in human aortic valve interstitial cells and improved these features in spermidine-treated mice. The AKT-TP53-DNMT1-PPARG pathway was implicated, and DNA methyltransferase 1 inhibition by 5-azacytidine enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis by reducing mitochondrial DNA hypermethylation.
