Key result

Cadherin-11 influences valvular interstitial cell contractility by regulating focal adhesions and inflammatory cytokine secretion, mediating the myofibroblast disease phenotype.

Population

Aortic valve interstitial cells harvested from Cdh11+/+, Cdh11+/−, and Cdh11−/− immortomice, and aortic…

Implication

May position CDH11 as target in calcific aortic valve disease; leaves open whether modulation alters progression in vivo.

Cadherin-11 is a key mediator of the myofibroblast phenotype in valvular interstitial cells, suggesting it could be a multifaceted therapeutic target for calcific aortic valve disease.

Cite This Study

Bowler et al. (2018) studied Calcific aortic valve disease. Cadherin-11 (CDH11) deletion vs. Wild-type (Cdh11+/+) was evaluated on Mechanobiological behavior of valvular interstitial cells (contractility and focal adhesions). Cadherin-11 influences valvular interstitial cell contractility by regulating focal adhesions and inflammatory cytokine secretion, mediating the myofibroblast disease phenotype.
