• Herpud1 is upregulated in the leaflets of Hcy-treated mice and patients with CAVD. • In mice, global knockout of Herpud1 alleviates aortic valve calcification and Herpud1 silencing activates cell autophagy, inhibiting osteogenic differentiation of AVICs induced by Hcy. • 4-PBA suppressed Herpud1 expression to alleviate AVIC calcification in Hcy treated AVICs and to mitigate aortic valve calcification in mice.
