pubmed:abstractText
In calcific aortic valve disease, myofibroblasts and activation of the transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1) and Wnt/?-catenin pathways are observed in the fibrosa, the stiffer layer of the leaflet, but their association is unknown. We elucidated the roles of ?-catenin and extracellular matrix stiffness in TGF-?1-induced myofibroblast differentiation of valve interstitial cells (VICs).
