Adipose tissue is present in aortic valves (AVs). Valve interstitial cells (VICs) could differentiate into adipogenic lineages. We here characterize whether the presence of adipose tissue in the AV influences inflammation and extracellular matrix (ECM) composition in patients with aortic regurgitation (AR). A total of 144 AVs were analyzed by histological and molecular techniques. We performed discovery studies using Olink Proteomics technology in 40 AVs (N = 16 without and N = 24 with adipose tissue). In vitro, human white adipocytes (HWAs) or VICs were cultured with adipogenic media and co-cultured with control VICs. Of Avs, 67% presented white-like adipocytes within the spongiosa. Discovery studies revealed increased levels of inflammatory and ECM molecules in AVs containing adipocytes. Interestingly, the presence of adipocytes was associated with greater AV thickness, higher inflammation, and ECM remodeling, which was characterized by increased proinflammatory molecules, collagen, fibronectin, proteoglycans, and metalloproteinases. AV thickness positively correlated with markers of adipose tissue, inflammation, and ECM. In vitro, adipocyte-like VICs expressed higher levels of adipocyte markers, increased cytokines, fibronectin, decorin, and MMP-13. Analyses of supernatants from co-cultured control VICs with HWA or adipocyte-like VICs showed higher expression of inflammatory mediators, collagen type I, proteoglycans, and metalloproteinases. AVs presenting adipocytes were thicker and exhibited changes characterized by increased inflammation accompanied by aberrant expression of collagen, proteoglycans, and metalloproteinases. VICs could differentiate into adipogenic pathway, affect neighbor VICs, and contribute to inflammation, collagen and proteoglycan accumulation, as well as to metalloproteinases secretion. In summary, the presence of adipose tissue in AV could modify its composition, favoring inflammation and remodeling with an impact on AV thickness.
脂肪组织存在于主动脉瓣(AVs)中。瓣膜间质细胞(VICs)可分化为脂肪生成谱系。我们在此研究AVs中脂肪组织的存在是否会影响主动脉瓣关闭不全(AR)患者的炎症和细胞外基质(ECM)组成。通过组织学和分子技术对总共144个AVs进行了分析。我们使用Olink蛋白质组学技术在40个AVs中进行了探索性研究(N = 16个无脂肪组织,N = 24个有脂肪组织)。在体外,将人白色脂肪细胞(HWAs)或VICs与成脂培养基一起培养,并与对照VICs共培养。在AVs中,67%在海绵层内呈现白色样脂肪细胞。探索性研究显示,含有脂肪细胞的AVs中炎症和ECM分子水平升高。有趣的是,脂肪细胞的存在与更大的AV厚度、更高的炎症以及ECM重塑相关,其特征是促炎分子、胶原蛋白、纤连蛋白、蛋白聚糖和金属蛋白酶增加。AV厚度与脂肪组织、炎症和ECM的标志物呈正相关。在体外,脂肪细胞样VICs表达更高水平的脂肪细胞标志物、增加的细胞因子、纤连蛋白、核心蛋白聚糖和基质金属蛋白酶-13。对与HWA或脂肪细胞样VICs共培养的对照VICs的上清液分析显示,炎症介质、I型胶原蛋白、蛋白聚糖和金属蛋白酶的表达更高。呈现脂肪细胞的AVs更厚,并表现出以炎症增加伴胶原蛋白、蛋白聚糖和金属蛋白酶异常表达为特征的变化。VICs可分化为脂肪生成途径,影响邻近的VICs,并导致炎症、胶原蛋白和蛋白聚糖积累以及金属蛋白酶分泌。总之,AVs中脂肪组织的存在可改变其组成,促进炎症和重塑,影响AV厚度。
