Abstract Introduction Mitral valve disease (MVD) is a frequent cause of heart failure and death. Data regarding its molecular basis are scarce, although current evidences show that primary MVD is an active process with the involvement of several molecular pathways. However, there are no studies that compare such mechanisms among the different subtypes of primary MVD. ST-2/interleukin (IL)-33 pathway is a potential pathophysiological mediator of cardiovascular diseases, although its role in heart valve diseases has not been explored. Purpose We aimed to analyse the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the main subtypes of primary chronic MVD: myxomatous degeneration, calcific or senile degeneration and rheumatic MVD. Methods 200 patients undergoing mitral valve replacement due to chronic primary MVD were enrolled. We classified them in the three main aetiologic subtypes according to echocardiographic features and surgeon's description: myxomatous degeneration (89 patients), senile or calcific degeneration (54 patients) and rheumatic disease (57 patients). In all patients the resected valve tissue and blood samples were collected. RT-PCR, Western Blot and ELISA were performed to analyse markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein, Rantes, IL-6, IL-1β/IL-1F2, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α), calcification (osteopontin, bone morphogenic protein (BMP)-2 and -4 and periostin), valvular endothelial cells (CD-31, E-cadherin), extracellular matrix remodeling (matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, -2 and -9, tissue inhibitor of MMP-1 and -2), proteoglycans (aggrecan, hyaluronan, lumican, biglycan, syndecan-1, decorin) fibrosis (collagen-1, fibronectin, galectin-3, Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β) and ST-2/IL-33 system. Results Each aetiologic subtype showed a distinct marker profile. As compared with the other subtypes, myxomatous valves presented significantly higher levels of inflammatory markers (Rantes, IL-6), fibronectin, proteoglycans (hyaluronan, lumican and biglycan), ST-2 and IL-33. Senile degenerative valves presented significantly higher levels of calcification markers (osteopontin, BMP-2 and -4). Rheumatic valves were characterized by high levels of TNF-α and TGF-β compared to other subtypes and a significant increase in the expression and activity of matrix degradation enzymes (MMP-1 and -2). Conclusions Our study provides for the first time the molecular characterisation of the main aetiologic subtypes of chronic MVD. Proteoglycans accumulation, fibrosis and inflammation are the main features of myxomatous changes, whereas calcification define senile degeneration. Rheumatic valves exhibit elevated TNF-α and TGF-β and a dramatic increase in matrix turnover. Moreover, myxomatous valves overexpress the ST-2/IL-33 system, suggesting that this pathway could play a role in the development of myxomatous changes. Unravelling the underlying molecular mechanisms of each aetiology is essential to identify new therapeutic targets. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: Public Institution(s).

A sound knowledge of the functional anatomy of the mitral valve and the alterations caused by different diseases is indispensable for surgeons treating patients with mitral valve disease. Rheumatic mitral valve disease remains the most common heart valvular disorder in developing countries, whereas mitral regurgitation due myxomatous degeneration of the valve is the most common in developed countries. The mitral valve should be repaired whenever possible, as long as the outcome is predictably better than that of replacement. The intraoperative decision to repair or replace is not always simple and depends on the experience of the surgeon and the pathological changes that caused mitral valve dysfunction.

Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD; degenerative valvular disease, endocardiosis, chronic valvular disease) is one of the most common acquired cardiac disease of dogs (75-80% from the cardiac diseases), characterized by mitral valve insufficiency. Pathologically, it is characterized by myxomatous degeneration of leaflets which does not have a congenital aspect, and that can progress to prolapse of one or both leaflets toward the left atrium during systole, and severe heart failure. It seems that the diseases is age and breed dependent. In most of the cases, MMVD occurs in dogs older than 5-8 years old and progresses as the dogs get older. The most predispose breed is Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, followed by Poodle (miniature and toy), Bichon, Lhassa Apso, Shih Tzu, Miniature Schnauzer, Cocker Spaniel, Chihuahua, Fox Terrier, Beagle, Pekinese, Dachshund, Yorkshire Terrier and Boston Terrier. This study aims to correlate the clinical and paraclinical examinations with the changes found in the echocardiographic examination.

Myxomatous Degeneration

Mitral valve disease (MVD) is a frequent cause of heart failure and death worldwide, but its etiopathogenesis is not fully understood. Interleukin (IL)-33 regulates inflammation and thrombosis in the vascular endothelium and may play a role in the atherosclerotic process, but its role in mitral valve has not been investigated. We aim to explore IL-33 as a possible inductor of myxomatous degeneration in human mitral valves. We enrolled 103 patients suffering from severe mitral regurgitation due to myxomatous degeneration undergoing mitral valve replacement. Immunohistochemistry of the resected leaflets showed IL-33 and ST2 expression in both valve interstitial cells (VICs) and valve endothelial cells (VECs). Positive correlations were found between the levels of IL-33 and molecules implicated in the development of myxomatous MVD, such as proteoglycans, extracellular matrix remodeling enzymes (matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors), inflammatory and fibrotic markers. Stimulation of single cell cultures of VICs and VECs with recombinant human IL-33 induced the expression of activated VIC markers, endothelial–mesenchymal transition of VECs, proteoglycan synthesis, inflammatory molecules and extracellular matrix turnover. Our findings suggest that the IL-33/ST2 system may be involved in the development of myxomatous MVD by enhancing extracellular matrix remodeling.
