Preferential Activation of SMAD1/5/8 on the Fibrosa Endothelium in Calcified Human Aortic Valves - Association with Low BMP Antagonists and SMAD6

BACKGROUND: Aortic valve (AV) calcification preferentially occurs on the fibrosa side while the ventricularis side remains relatively unaffected. Here, we tested the hypothesis that side-dependent activation of bone morphogenic protein (BMP) pathway in the endothelium of the ventricularis and fibros...
