We produced animal model of aortic stenosis (AS) by wire-injury of aortic valve of mice. Wire-injury induced significant AS and concentric cardiac hypertrophy and leaded to heart failure. We also documented the serial pathophysiological process including infiltration of inflammatory cell, phenotypic change of fibroblast to myofibroblast, and osteogenic differentiation in the injured valve tissue. This model might contribute to the understanding of pathogenesis of AS and new therapeutic strategy of AS.
