Abstract  

Objective: To investigate the effect of small interfering RNA (siRNA) -mediated bone morphogenetic protein7 (BMP7) gene silencing on osteogenic differentiation of porcine aortic valve interstitial cells induced by osteogenic induction medium,and to provide a theoretical basis for the intervention and treatment of calcific aortic valve disease.Methods:The non-CAVD valvular tissues (non-CAVD group) were taken from patients with surgical treatment of aortic dissection,the CAVD valvular tissues (CAVD group) were taken from patients undergoing aortic valve replacement because of calcified aortic valve stenosis.The expression levels of BMP7 and Runx2 in the non-CAVD group and CAVD group were tested by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Healthy domestic pigs were sacrificed and the aortic valve leaflets were aseptically removed immediately.The aortic valve interstitial cells(VICs) were isolated by continuous collagenase digestion,its morphological characteristics were observed and the phenotypes were identified by immunofluorescence staining. VICs were transfected with BMP7-siRNA by liposome method.The expression of BMP7 at mRNA and protein levels in the VICs transfected with BMP7-siRNA was detected by qPCR and Western blot,respectively.The conditioned medium induced osteogenic differentiation of VICs for the establishment of calcification model of aortic valve interstitial cells in vitro,then Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)staining and Alizarin red S staining was used to evaluate the cell early and late osteogenic differentiation abilities.The mRNA and protein levels of Runx2,OCN and OPN were determined by qPCR and Western blot,respectively.The protein levels of p-drosophila mothers against de-capentaplegic 1/5/8 (p-Smad1/5/8) was also determined by Western blot.Results:The expression of BMP7 and Runx2 in CAVD group was significantly higher than that in non-CAVD group.The primary porcine aortic valve interstitial cells were successfully isolated and the staining of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and Vimentin were positive,the staining of von Willebrand factor (vWF) was negative.The expression of BMP7 at mRNA and protein levels in the VICs transfected with BMP7-siRNA was significantly decreased,and the cell early and late osteogenic differentiation abilities were significantly decreased.The mRNA and protein levels of Runx2,OCN and OPN were significantly reduced.Meanwhile,the protein levels of p-Smad1/5/8 were down-regulated.Conclusion:BMP7 gene silencing obviously inhibits the osteogenic differentiation of aortic valve interstitial cells induced by osteogenic induction medium.The BMP7/Smads signaling pathways may play an important role in these processes.
