Highlights • H2S derived from CSE/CBS inhibits inflammation and calcification of valvular interstitial cells. • H2S releasing molecules inhibits inflammation and calcification of valvular interstitial cells. • H2S inhibits inflammation and calcification in aortic valve of apolipoprotein E deficient mice. • H2S suppresses nuclear translocation of NF-κB and subsequent expression of IL-1β and TNF-α. • Activation of Runx2, its nuclear translocation is mediated by NF-κB in calcifying conditions. • Inflammation and calcification are connected via master transcription factors, NF-κB and Runx2.
Introduction Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was revealed to inhibit aortic valve calcification and inflammation was implicated in the pathogenesis of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). Objectives We investigate whether H2S inhibits mineralization via abolishing inflammation. Methods and results Expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were increased in patients with CAVD and in calcified aortic valve of ApoE-/- mice. Administration of H22S releasing donor (4-methoxyphenyl piperidinylphosphinodithioc acid (AP72)) exhibited inhibition on both calcification and inflammation in aortic valve of apolipoprotein E knockout mice (ApoE-/-) mice is reflected by lowering IL-1β and TNF-α levels. Accordingly, AP72 prevented the accumulation of extracellular calcium deposition and decreased nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in human valvular interstitial cells (VIC). This was also accompanied by reduced cytokine response. Double-silencing of endogenous H2S producing enzymes, Cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE) and Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) in VIC exerted enhanced mineralization and higher levels of IL-1β and TNF-α. Importantly, silencing NF-κB gene or its pharmacological inhibition prevented nuclear translocation of runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and subsequently the calcification of human VIC. Increased levels of NF-κB and Runx2 and their nuclear accumulation occurred in ApoE-/- mice with a high-fat diet. Administration of AP72 decreased the expression of NF-κB and prevented its nuclear translocation in VIC of ApoE-/- mice on a high-fat diet, and that was accompanied by a lowered pro-inflammatory cytokine level. Similarly, activation of Runx2 did not occur in VIC of ApoE-/- mice treated with H2S donor. Employing Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) nanoscopy, a strong colocalization of NF-κB and Runx2 was detected during the progression of valvular calcification. Conclusions Hydrogen sulfide inhibits inflammation and calcification of aortic valve. Our study suggests that the regulation of Runx2 by hydrogen sulfide (CSE/CBS) occurs via NF-κB establishing a link between inflammation and mineralization in vascular calcification.
