Chondromodulin-I maintains cardiac valvular function by preventing angiogenesis

Abstract: The avascularity of cardiac valves is abrogated in several valvular heart diseases (VHDs). This study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying valvular avascularity and its correlation with VHD. Chondromodulin-I, an antiangiogenic factor isolated from cartilage, is abundantly expressed in cardiac valves. Gene targeting of chondromodulin-I resulted in enhanced Vegf-A expression, angiogenesis, lipid deposition and calcification in the cardiac valves of aged mice. Echocardiography showed aortic valve thic… Show more

“…See electronic supplementary material, figure S1 in appendix A, for immunofluorescent staining of the leaflet endothelium. In figure 3c, leaflet Chm1 expression, associated with anti-angiogenic activity [42], was decreased in the 13% oxygen mitral leaflet group. In figure 3d, the 13% oxygen mitral leaflet group showed an increase in RUNX2, the upregulation of which is associated with myxomatous disease progression in mitral valves [17].…”

“…These include cartilage, heart valves, and in the eye cornea, vitreous and lens. [15][16][17][18] In these tissues, mechanisms are in place to inhibit ingrowth of blood vessels. To maintain what has been termed the 'angiogenic privilege' in the cornea, a delicate balance exists between pro-and antiangiogenic factors (Figure 2).…”

“…Так, фактор роста сосудистого эндотелия VEGF и его два рецептора Flt1 и Klk1 ассоциированы с процессами неореваскуляризации в АК при АС [57,58]. Oстеонектин (или SPARC), секретируемый белок, участвующий в процессах неореваскуляризации и воспаления (активирует ММР 9) также экспресси-руется в АК при АС [59], экспрессия хондромодулина I -антагониста процессов неореваскуляризации, снижена при АС [60]. Активация неоангиогенеза при АС находится в сильной взаимосвязи с процессами воспаления: в исследованиях неоднократно было замечено повышение уровня экспрессии проангио-генных биомаркеров локально в месте участков вос-паления, также была выявлена способность прово-спалительного цитокина TNF-α усиливать секрецию VEGF [61].…”
