摘要
Background: Calcific aortic stenosis (AS), the most frequent heart valve disorder in developed countries, leads to the calcification and fibrous thickening of the valve. While several studies have addressed the process of valvular calcification, the molecular pathomechanisms of the extensive matrix remodeling remain unclear. Because inflammation is present in stenotic valves, we hypothesized that the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) might influence cell proliferation and regulate the expression and activation of matrix metal loprotemases (MMPs)-enzymes that are thought to be involved in calcific AS. Methods: Immunohistochemistry for leukocytes, TNF alpha, MMP-1, and the endogenous MMP inhibitor tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 was performed on human stenotic (n = 19) and control (n = 8) valves. Primary cultures of human aortic valve myofibroblasts were incubated with and without TNF alpha, and cell proliferation was assessed. The expression and activation of MMP-1 were detected by Western blotting and a specific MMP-1 activity assay. Results: Control valves showed scattered macrophages and low expression of TNF alpha, MMP-1, and TIMP-1. In stenotic valves, leukocyte infiltration and a strong, colocalized expression of TNF alpha and MMP-1 were present, while TIMP-1 remained unchanged. Double-label immunofluorescence localized TNF alpha mainly to macrophages. In cultured human aortic valve myofibroblasts, TNF alpha stimulated proliferation and induced a time-dependent increase in MMP-1 expression and activation, while TIMP-1 remained unchanged. Conclusion: The results indicate that matrix remodeling in calcific AS involves the expression and activation of MMPs. Activated leukocytes, by the secretion of TNF alpha may stimulate valvular myofibroblasts to proliferate and express MMPs, thus replating actively the matrix remodeling in calcific AS.
