Matrix metalloproteinases have been implicated in this predisposition. Metallothionein is a poorly characterized, metal-binding protein that regulates matrix metalloproteinases and is an antioxidant known to be upregulated under oxidative stress.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Methods and Results\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            To determine putative factors involved in the pathogenesis of aortic aneurysm in BAV patients, our first goal was to identify genes that are dysregulated in ascending aortic aneurysms of BAV patients compared with tricuspid aortic valve patients and nondiseased (control) donors. By microarray analysis (22 000 probe sets), 110 dysregulated genes were identified in BAV compared with tricuspid aortic valve patients and control donors; 8 were genes of the metallothionein family. Metallothionein gene expression and protein expression were significantly lower in aortic tissue and cultured aortic smooth muscle cells from BAV patients compared with control subjects. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression was increased in BAV aortic samples relative to controls. BAV aorta was more susceptible to oxidative stress, and induction of metallothionein under oxidative stress was reduced in BAV patients compared with control subjects.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            These results demonstrate dysregulated metallothionein expression in ascending aortic smooth muscle cells of BAV patients that may contribute to an inadequate response to oxidative stress and provoke aneurysm formation. We hypothesize that metallothionein plays a pivotal role in the response of ascending aortic smooth muscle cells to oxidative stress cues normally involved in the maintenance of the extracellular matrix, including the regulation of matrix metalloproteinase expression.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/circulationaha.108.770776","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,4,28]],"date-time":"2009-04-28T01:49:50Z","timestamp":1240883390000},"page":"2498-2506","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":63,"title":["Basal and Oxidative Stress\u2013Induced Expression of Metallothionein Is Decreased in Ascending Aortic Aneurysms of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Patients"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"119","author":[{"given":"Julie A.","family":"Phillippi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Thoracic Aortic Disease Research Laboratory, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa (J.A.P., M.A.E., T.G.G.); Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Ill (E.A.K., J.P.K.); and University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia (R.C.G.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ekaterina A.","family":"Klyachko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Thoracic Aortic Disease Research Laboratory, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa (J.A.P., M.A.E., T.G.G.); Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Ill (E.A.K., J.P.K.); and University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia (R.C.G.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"IV","given":"John P.","family":"Kenny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Thoracic Aortic Disease Research Laboratory, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa (J.A.P., M.A.E., T.G.G.); Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Ill (E.A.K., J.P.K.); and University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia (R.C.G.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael A.","family":"Eskay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Thoracic Aortic Disease Research Laboratory, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa (J.A.P., M.A.E., T.G.G.); Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Ill (E.A.K., J.P.K.); and University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia (R.C.G.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert C.","family":"Gorman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Thoracic Aortic Disease Research Laboratory, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa (J.A.P., M.A.E., T.G.G.); Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Ill (E.A.K., J.P.K.); and University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia (R.C.G.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas G.","family":"Gleason","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Thoracic Aortic Disease Research Laboratory, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa (J.A.P., M.A.E., T.G.G.); Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Ill (E.A.K., J.P.K.); and University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia (R.C.G.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.cir.0000087660.82721.15"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/heart.83.1.81"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.semtcvs.2005.06.001"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(03)00398-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.cir.0000027905.26586.e8"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/circ.99.16.2138"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/str.26.10.1935"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00439-006-0316-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nature03940"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/352337a0"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0753-3322(03)00065-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2003.11.049"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2006.10.083"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/hupa.2001.27107"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_15_2","first-page":"II-331","volume":"98","year":"1998","unstructured":"Segura AM, Luna RE, Horiba K, Stetler-Stevenson WG, McAllister HA Jr, Willerson JT, Ferrans VJ.
