Background:Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is one of the most challenging heart diseases in clinical with rapidly increasing prevalence.However,study of the mecha-nism and treatment of CAVS is hampered by the lack of suitable,robust and efficient models that develop hemodynamically significant stenosis and typical calcium deposi-tion.Here,we aim to establish a mouse model to mimic the development and features of CAVS.Methods:The model was established via aortic valve wire injury (AVWI) combined with vitamin D subcutaneous injected in wild type C57/BL6 mice.Serial transthoracic echocardiography was applied to evaluate aortic jet peak velocity and mean gradi-ent.Histopathological specimens were collected and examined in respect of valve thickening,calcium deposition,collagen accumulation,osteogenic differentiation and inflammation.Results:Serial transthoracic echocardiography revealed that aortic jet peak velocity and mean gradient increased from 7 days post model establishment in a time depend-ent manner and tended to be stable at 28 days.Compared with the sham group,sim-ple AVWI or the vitamin D group,the hybrid model group showed typical pathological features of CAVS,including hemodynamic alterations,increased aortic valve thicken-ing,calcium deposition,collagen accumulation at 28 days.In addition,osteogenic dif-ferentiation,fibrosis and inflammation,which play critical roles in the development of CAVS,were observed in the hybrid model.Conclusions:We established a novel mouse model of CAVS that could be induced efficiently,robustly and economically,and without genetic intervention.It provides a fast track to explore the underlying mechanisms of CAVS and to identify more effec-tive pharmacological targets.
