Abstract
The atrioventricular (AV) valves of the heart develop from undifferentiated mesenchymal endocardial cushions, which later mature into stratified valves with diversified extracellular matrix (ECM). Because the mature valves express genes associated with osteogenesis and exhibit disease-associated calcification, we hypothesized the existence of shared regulatory pathways active in developing AV valves and in bone progenitor cells. To define gene regulatory programs of valvulogenesis relative to osteoblast progenitors, we undertook Affymetrix gene expression profiling analysis of murine embryonic day (E)12.5 AV endocardial cushions compared with E17.5 AV valves (mitral and tricuspid) and with preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 (subclone4) cells. Overall, MC3T3 cells were significantly more similar to E17.5 valves than to E12.5 cushions, supporting the hypothesis that valve maturation involves the expression of many genes also expressed in osteoblasts. Several transcription factors characteristic of mesenchymal and osteoblast precursor cells, including Twist1, are predominant in E12.5 cushion. Valve maturation is characterized by differential regulation of matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors as well as complex collagen gene expression. Among the most highly enriched genes during valvulogenesis were members of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family including Asporin, a known negative regulator of osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. Together, these data support shared gene expression profiles of the developing valves and osteoblast bone precursor cells in normal valve development and homeostasis with potential functions in calcific valve disease.

Signal transduction in early heart development (II): ventricular chamber specification, trabeculation, and heart valve formation

Exp Biol Med (Maywood). 2007 Jul;232(7):866-80.

Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, State University of New York Downstate Medical Center, 450 Clarkson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203. michael.wagner@downstate.edu Abstract The formation of a four-chambered heart with ventricular chambers aligned in a left-right orientation begins with the rightward looping of the linear heart tube in accordance with the left-right embryonic axis. The functional specification of the ventricular chambers in the looped heart occurs with the formation of a trabeculated myocardium along the outer curvature of the realigned heart tube. Two major signal transduction pathways are involved in this process, the retinoic acid and neuregulin signaling pathways, with the retinoic acid pathway also participating in rightward heart tube looping. With the establishment of the atrial and ventricular chambers, maintenance of a unidirectional flow of blood between the two chambers must be ensured. To achieve this, heart valves develop at the atrioventricular juncture. This process begins with formation of endocardial cushions, the primordia of heart valves, and ends with formation of heart valve leaflets. Underlying this process is a complex network of signal transduction pathways that mediate communication between the endocardial and myocardial cell layers to form the endocardial cushions and nascent heart valve. Some of the signaling molecules involved are vascular endothelial growth factor, Wnts, bone morphogenetic proteins, epidermal growth factor, hyaluronic acid, neurofibromin, and calcium.
