Abstract Background Advanced glycation end product-modified low-density lipoprotein (AGE-LDL) is related to inflammation and the development of atherosclerosis. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) has a role in the condition known as calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). Here, we hypothesized that the AGE-LDL/RAGE axis could also be involved in the pathophysiological mechanism of CAVD. Methods Human aortic valve interstitial cells (HAVICs) were stimulated with AGE-LDL following pre-treatment with or without interleukin 37 (IL-37). Low-density lipoprotein receptor deletion (Ldlr −/− ) hamsters were randomly allocated to chow diet (CD) group and high carbohydrate and high fat diet (HCHFD) group. Results AGE-LDL levels were significantly elevated in patients with CAVD and in a hamster model of aortic valve calcification. Our in vitro data further demonstrated that AGE-LDL augmented the expression of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in a dose-dependent manner through NF-κB activation, which was attenuated by nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) inhibitor Bay11-7082. The expression of RAGE was augmented in calcified aortic valves, and knockdown of RAGE in HAVICs attenuated the AGE-LDL-induced inflammatory and osteogenic responses as well as NF-κB activation. IL-37 suppressed inflammatory and osteogenic responses and NF-κB activation in HAVICs. The vivo experiment also demonstrate that supplementation with IL-37 inhibited valvular inflammatory response and thereby suppressed valvular osteogenic activities. Conclusions AGE-LDL promoted inflammatory responses and osteogenic differentiation through RAGE/NF-κB pathway in vitro and aortic valve lesions in vivo. IL-37 suppressed the AGE-LDL-induced inflammatory and osteogenic responses in vitro and attenuated aortic valve lesions in a hamster model of CAVD. Graphic Abstract |
