Embodiment 1
[0047] Example 1: Analysis of DPP-4 Expression in Human Calcific Aortic Valve Disease (CAVD)
[0048] Human aortic valve samples were obtained from normal patients undergoing aortic valve replacement and from patients with severe calcified lesions at Seoul Asan Medical Center. Half of each sample was immediately stored in RNAlater (Life Technology), while the remaining half was fixed in OCT compound (Sakura Finetek, Inc.). The study protocol for collecting human samples was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Asan Hospital, Seoul, Korea.
[0049] Gene expression profiles involved in cellular progression in human calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) analyzed by microarray.
[0050] Analysis of gene expression profiles in aortic valve samples from non-calcified normal patients and calcified patients using Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0ST Array (Affymetrix, USA) was performed. Quantile normalization and data analysis were performed using Affymetrix GCOS software ...
Embodiment 2
[0057] Example 2: Analysis of DPP-4 expression in eNOS knockout mouse model
[0058] C57BL / 6J eNOS- / - (endothelial nitric oxide synthase knockout) mice (8 weeks old, n=10, TheJackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Me, USA) and C57BL / 6J wild-type mice (8 week old, wild type, WT, n=10). After purchase, mice were fed standard rodent chow until 3 months of age.
[0059] Mice were deeply anesthetized, and under this condition, PBS containing 4% paraformaldehyde was administered to the mice, and the heart and aorta were extracted. The extracted tissue was fixed overnight and embedded in paraffin, and the whole aortic valve was sectioned to a thickness of 5 μm. Mice were euthanized, and blood and aortic samples were stored for analysis.
[0060] To visualize calcium deposition in paraffin-embedded aortic valves and basal segments of the heart, von Kossa and Alizarin red staining were performed.
[0061] The result is, as Figure 4 As shown, dark-brown staining fractions indicative of...
Embodiment 3
[0062] Example 3: Observation of Calcification in Mouse Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (VSMC)
[0063] The aortas extracted from eNOS- / - mice and wild-type mice together with the hearts in Example 2 were washed in serum-free medium M199 (Cellgro), cut into small pieces, and then placed in a water bath at 37° C. Incubate for 3 hours in M199 containing 20% fetal calf serum and 3 mg / mL collagenase (Sigma). The isolated cells were found to be vascular smooth muscle cells by using anti-SM monoclonal antibody (Sigma). Isolated vascular smooth muscle cells were seeded at a concentration of 30%, and after 24 hours, the medium was replaced with osteogenic basal medium (Osteogenic SingleQuots, Lonza, USA). Medium was replaced at 3-day intervals during the 28-day culture.
[0064] For wild-type mice and eNOS KO mice, by using ALP staining as the staining method for the initial calcification stage, Alizarin red (AR) staining as the staining method for the intermediate calcification st...
