Abstract:
The data included here support the research article "Circulating endothelial microparticles are elevated in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease and related to aortic dilation" (Alegret et al., 2016 [1]) where circulating levels of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM(+)) endothelial microparticles (EMPs) were identified as a biological variable related to aortic dilation in patients with BAV disease. The data presented in this article are composed by four tables and one figure containing the clinical and echocardiographic characteristics of the patients (Alegret et al., 2016 [1]) included in this study, and summarize the results of multivariate linear analyses. Furthermore, is also included a figure showing a representative flow cytometry dot plots and histograms used in PECAM(+) EMPs quantification is also included.Keywords:

To establish a classification of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) that includes both leaflet morphology and aortic shape.Two academic medical centres of the University of Washington, Seattle.191 adult patients with BAV.Review of clinical data and transthoracic echocardiograms.Assessment of leaflet morphology; valve function; aortic shape and dimensions.We identified three morphologies: type 1, fusion of right and left coronary cusp (n = 152); type 2, right and non-coronary fusion (n = 39); and type 3, left and non-coronary fusion (n = 1). Comparing type 1 and 2 BAV, there were no significant differences in age, height, weight, blood pressure or aortic valve function. Type 1 was more common in men (69 vs 45%). The aortic sinuses were larger in type 1, while type 2 had larger arch dimensions. Myxomatous mitral valves were more common in type 2 BAV (13% vs 2.6%, p<0.05). Three aortic shapes were defined: normal (N), sinus effacement (E), and ascending dilatation (A). Comparing type 1 to type 2 BAV, shape N was more common in type 1 (60% vs 32%), and type A was more common in type 2 (35% vs 54%,); type E was rare (p<0.01 across all groups).A comprehensive BAV phenotype includes aortic shape. Type 1 BAV is associated with male gender and normal aortic shape but a larger sinus diameter. Type 2 leaflet morphology is associated with ascending aorta dilatation , larger arch dimensions and higher prevalence of myxomatous mitral valve disease.

To detect the expression of fibrillin-1 in congenital bicuspid aortic valves, and to investigate the molecular mechanism of congenital bicuspid aortic valves.Specimens of aortic valve were obtained from 12 pediatric patients with congenital bicuspid aortic valve, 11 boys and 1 girl, aged 16.7 (10 - 18), including 5 cases of aortic stenosis (AS), 8 of aortic insufficiency (AI), and 1 of AS and AI, undergoing valve replacement, 8 children who died accidentally without cardiovascular system and collagen system diseases, 6 boys and 2 girls, aged 9.1 (1 - 17), collected in autopsy [normal (tricuspid) aortic valve controls], and 18 pediatric patients of rheumatic valvular heart disease with diseased tricuspid aortic valves who underwent aortic valve replacement, 13 boys and 5 girls, aged 16.5 (12 - 18) (rheumatic valvular heart disease controls). HE staining and light microscopy were conducted. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of fibrillin-1 in the aortic valves.Microscopy showed that the tissue structure of the congenital bicuspid aortic valves was unclear with hyperplasia of fibrous tissue. The grey degree value of fibrillin-1 of the congenital bicuspid aortic valve group was 170 +/- 10, significantly lower than those of normal aortic valve group and diseased tricuspid aortic valve group (126 +/- 8 and 73 +/- 16 respectively, both P < 0.05). There were not significant difference in the grey degree value of fibrillin-1 among the patients of congenital bicuspid aortic valves with AS, AI, and AS + AI (167 +/- 6, 171 +/- 8, and 168 +/- 6 respectively).The expression of fibrillin-1 is significantly reduced in congenital bicuspid aortic valves which may contribute to the morphological changes of the aortic valve leaflets and their resultant functional failure in congenital bicuspid aortic valves.

Objective: The degeneration of bicuspid aortic valve and its frequent association with ascending aortic pathology, point to a still unidentified genetic tissue defect with unknown mediators. Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are lytic enzymes that have been strongly implicated in aneurysm formation. The purpose of this study was to detect the presence of these enzymes in aortic valvular tissue in healthy and diseased aortic valves with or without the presence of synchronous ascending aortic pathology. Methods: Aortic valve specimens from 26 aortic valve replacement patients as well as 4 healthy control tricuspid aortic valves were included. 10 patients had bicuspid aortic valves, and 16 had tricuspid aortic valves. Half of our patient population had a concomitant aortic procedure for aortic pathology. The study detected MMPs 1,2 and 9 as well as their Tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) 1 and 2. MMP and TIMP detection was accomplished with the construction of a tissue micro array and immunohistochemistry. Conclusions: MMP-9 expression was significantly higher in bicuspid aortic valves compared to normal valves (P≪0.05). When compared to the tricuspid valve group, MMP-9 mean value was significantly higher in bicuspid valves (P≪0.05).When the entire rest of the valve group (n=4+16, i.e. control and tricuspid valve groups) was compared to the bicuspid valve group, bicuspid valves had significantly higher MMP-2, and MMP-9 (P≪0.01) expression. TIMP expression also changed in diseased valves, among different patient groups. This increased proteolytic presence in bicuspid aortic valves may attribute to the observed decreased elastin and collagen content, and their resultant functional failure.
