dc.description.abstract | Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the risk of aortic stenosis (AS) and worsens its pathophysiology in a sex-specific manner. Aldosterone/mineralocorticoid receptor (Aldo/MR) pathway participates in the early stages of AS and in other diabetic-related cardiovascular complications. We aim to identify new sex-specific Aldo/MR targets in AS complicated with DM. We performed discovery studies using Olink Proteomics technology in 87 AS patient-derived aortic valves (AVs) (N ¼ 28 and N ¼ 19 nondiabetic and diabetic men; N ¼ 32 and N ¼ 8 nondiabetic and diabetic women, respectively) and human cytokine array (N ¼ 24 AVs/sex/condition). Both approaches revealed chemerin as a target differentially upregulated in AVs from male diabetic patients, further validated in a cohort of stenotic AVs (N ¼ 283, 27.6% DM, 59.4% men). Valvular chemerin levels are directly correlated with valve interstitial cell (VIC) activation, MR, inflammation, angiogenesis, and calcification markers exclusively in diabetic men. In vitro, Aldo (10-8 M) treatment exclusively increased chemerin levels in valve interstitial cells (VICs) from male patients with DM. Aldo also upregulated inflammatory, angiogenic, and osteogenic markers in DM and non-DM donors¿ VICs, which were prevented by MR antagonism. Increased glucose levels in cell media upregulated chemerin in VICs from male diabetic patients. Overall, RARRES2-knockdown in male diabetic VICs resulted in the downregulation of inflammatory, angiogenic, and osteogenic markers and blocked Aldo-induced responses in high glucose conditions. These data suggest the Aldo/MR pathway selectively increases chemerin in VICs from diabetic men, promoting inflammation, angiogenesis, and calcification associated with AS progression. | en |
