Objective: Aortic valve (AoV) calcification occurs via a pathophysiologic process that includes osteoblastic differentiation of valvular interstitial cells (VICs). Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases. Here, we investigated the role of HDAC6 in AoV calcification. Methods: AoV cusps from patients with aortic stenosis (n = 7) and normal controls (n = 7) were subjected to determination of calcified nodules and HDAC6 expression. Human VICs were cultured in osteogenic media and treated with 10 uM tubacin or HDAC6 small interfering RNA silencing to inhibit HDAC6. Treatment with 100 uM tauroursodeoxycholic acid was used to suppress endoplasmic reticulum stress. Activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) small interfering RNA was used to knock down ATF4. Alizarin red staining was used to evaluate calcified nodules formation of VICs cultured with osteogenic media for 14 days. Results: HDAC6 expression was significantly reduced in AoV tissue of patients with aortic stenosis compared with controls. Tubacin treatment or HDAC6 silencing markedly promoted osteoblastic differentiation accompanied by endoplasmic reticulum stress activation in VICs. The HDAC6 inhibition-induced osteogenic pathway was mediated by endoplasmic reticulum stress/ATF4 pathway as indicated by tauroursodeoxycholic acid pretreatment or ATF4 silencing. Finally, alizarin red staining showed that HDAC6 inhibition promoted osteoblastic differentiation of VICs, which could be suppressed by tauroursodeoxycholic acid. Conclusions: HDAC6 inhibition promotes AoV calcification via an endoplasmic reticulum stress/ATF4-mediated osteogenic pathway. HDAC6 may be a novel target for AoV calcification prevention and treatment.
