Heart Valve Development, Maintenance, and Disease

Tao, Ge, Kotick, James D., Lincoln, Joy·2012·Current Topics in Developmental Biology

Abstract

Heart valves are dynamic structures that open and close during the cardiac cycle to maintain unidirectional blood flow throughout life. Insufficient valve function, commonly due to congenital malformations leads to disruptions in hemodynamics and eventual heart failure. Mature valve leaflets are composed of a heterogeneous population of interstitial cells and stratified extracellular matrix, surrounded by a layer of endothelial cells. This defined connective tissue "architecture" provides the valve with all the necessary biomechanical properties required to efficiently function while withstanding constant cyclic shear stress. Valvular endothelial cells (VECs) play essential roles in establishing the valve structures during embryonic development and are important for maintaining lifelong valve integrity and function. In contrast to a continuous endothelium over the surface of healthy valve leaflets, VEC disruption is commonly observed in malfunctioning valves and is associated with pathological processes that promote valve sclerosis and calcification. Increasing our understanding of the roles of VECs in development and disease has lead to promising advances in the development of endothelial cell-based therapies for treating valve disease.

Verification

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • VICs are specialized cardiac fibroblasts, generally quiescent under homeostatic conditions, and their activation is associated with valve disease including calcification and regurgitation.

    “VICs, which are specialized cardiac fibroblasts, are generally quiescent under homoeostatic conditions, and their activation is intimately associated with valve disease states, including calcification and regurgitation2,3.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
