Key result
Proteome analysis of valve interstitial cells was investigated to determine innate differences between healthy and calcified human valves during osteogenic differentiation.
Why the study?
Valve interstitial cells are thought to play a key role in aortic valve calcification, but innate proteome differences between healthy and calcified valves and during osteogenic differentiation required investigation.
May identify calcification targets in valve cells; hypothesis-generating from animal data and requires clinical validation before any practice implications.
Objective: The valve interstitial cells (VIC) are thought to play a key role in aortic valve calcification. The aim of the study was to investigate innate proteome differences in VIC isolated from human healthy and calcified valves in addition to changes the VIC undergoing osteogenic differentiation.
