Severe aortic stenosis (AS) is prevalent in adults ≥ 65 years, a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, with no medical therapy. Lipid and proteomic alterations of human AS tissue were determined using mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) to understand histopathology, potential biomarkers of disease, and progression from non-calcified to calcified phenotype. A reproducible MSI method was developed using healthy murine aortic valves (n = 3) and subsequently applied to human AS (n = 2). Relative lipid levels were spatially mapped and associated with different microdomains. Proteomics for non-calcified and calcified microdomains were performed to ascertain differences in expression. Increased pro-osteogenic and inflammatory lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) 16:0 and 18:0 were co-localized with calcified microdomains. Proteomics analysis identified differential patterns in calcified microdomains with high LPC and low cholesterol as compared to non-calcified microdomains with low LPC and high cholesterol. Calcified microdomains had higher levels of: apolipoproteins (Apo) B-100 (p < 0.001) and Apo A-IV (p < 0.001), complement C3 and C4-B (p < 0.001), C5 (p = 0.007), C8 beta chain (p = 0.013) and C9 (p = 0.010), antithrombotic proteins alpha-2-macroglobulin (p < 0.0001) and antithrombin III (p = 0.002), and higher anti-calcific fetuin-A (p = 0.02), while the osteoblast differentiating factor transgelin (p < 0.0001), extracellular matrix proteins versican, prolargin, and lumican ( p < 0.001) and regulator protein complement factor H (p < 0.001) were higher in non-calcified microdomains. A combined lipidomic and proteomic approach provided insight into factors potentially contributing to progression from non-calcified to calcific disease in severe AS. Additional studies of these candidates and protein networks could yield new targets for slowing progression of AS.
严重的主动脉瓣狭窄(AS)在 65 岁以上的成年人中很常见,是发病率和死亡率的重要原因,目前尚无医学治疗方法。使用质谱成像(MSI)和液相色谱电喷雾电离串联质谱(LC-ESI-MS/MS)测定人 AS 组织的脂质和蛋白质组学改变,以了解组织病理学、疾病的潜在生物标志物以及从不钙化到钙化表型的进展。使用健康的小鼠主动脉瓣(n=3)开发了一种可重复的 MSI 方法,随后应用于人 AS(n=2)。对非钙化和钙化微区进行蛋白质组学分析,以确定表达差异。与钙化微区共定位的是增加的促成骨和炎症性溶血磷脂酰胆碱(LPC)16:0 和 18:0。蛋白质组学分析表明,与非钙化微区相比,钙化微区的 LPC 水平较高,胆固醇水平较低,而 LPC 水平较低,胆固醇水平较高。钙化微区的载脂蛋白(Apo)B-100(p<0.001)和 Apo A-IV(p<0.001)、补体 C3 和 C4-B(p<0.001)、C5(p=0.007)、C8β链(p=0.013)和 C9(p=0.010)、抗血栓蛋白α-2-巨球蛋白(p<0.0001)和抗凝血酶 III(p=0.002)水平较高,而抗钙化胎球蛋白-A(p=0.02)水平较高,而成骨细胞分化因子转胶蛋白(p<0.0001)、细胞外基质蛋白 versican、prolargin 和 lumican(p<0.001)和调节蛋白补体因子 H(p<0.001)在非钙化微区中含量较高。脂质组学和蛋白质组学的综合方法深入了解了严重 AS 从不钙化到钙化疾病进展的潜在因素。对这些候选物和蛋白质网络的进一步研究可能为减缓 AS 进展提供新的靶点。
