    In recent years, bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) prepared by cross-linking porcine or bovine pericardium with glutaraldehyde (Glut) have received widespread attention due to their excellent hemocompatibility and hydrodynamic properties. However, the failure of BHVs induced by thrombosis and difficulty in endothelialization still exists in clinical practice. Improving the biocompatibility and endothelialization potential of BHVs is conducive to promoting their anti-thrombosis properties and prolonging their service life. Herein, Cysteine-Alanine-Glycine (CAG) peptide was introduced into the biomimetic BHV materials modified by 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) to improve their anti-thrombosis and promoting-endothelialization performances. MPC can improve the anti-adsorption performance of BHV materials, as well as, CAG contributes to the adhesion and proliferation of endothelial cells on the surface of BHV materials. The results of experiments showed that the biomimetic modification strategy with MPC and CAG reduce the thrombosis of BHV materials and improve their endothelialization in vitro. More importantly, the calcification of BHV significantly reduced by inhibiting the expression of M1 macrophage-related factors (IL-6, iNOS) and promoting the expression of M2 macrophage-related factors (IL-10, CD206). We believe that the valve-modified strategy is expected to provide effective solutions to clinical valve problems.
