Sphingolipid-Driven Lipotoxicity Promotes Calcific Aortic Valve Disease Through ER-Stress-NF-κB-EndMT Signaling and Is Therapeutically Targetable Through Serine Palmitoyltransferase Inhibition

Elias Rawish, Timo Rusack, Peter Ruben Letsch, Julica Inderhees, Kristian Haendler, Carolin Gragoll, Jakob Christoph Voran, Michael Schneider, Katharina Kurz, Mohammed Rabiul Hosen, Maren Behrensen, Svenja Denker, Axel Kuenstner, Thorben Sauer, Jorge Duque Escobar, , Christian Frerker

This study identifies ceramide-driven lipotoxicity as a driver of calcific aortic valve disease and shows that SPT inhibition can reverse disease progression in vivo.
