Mineral exploration: search for the mechanism of vascular calcification and beyond: the 2003 Jeffrey M. Hoeg Award lecture.

چکیده
Research in the area of vascular calcification has grown rapidly in the past decade, and there is a greater understanding of its active regulatory mechanisms. This brief review covers the ideas presented in the 2003 Jeffrey M. Hoeg Award lecture, including the concepts that bone tissue forms in the artery wall in patients with atherosclerosis, that vascular cells undergo osteoblastic differentiation, that bone morphogenetic protein and matrix GLA protein regulate vascular calcification in opposition, that inflammatory cytokines and lipids promote vascular cell calcification but inhibit osteoblastic cell differentiation, that these same factors promote differentiation of bone-resorbing osteoclasts, and that the artery wall may contain osteoclast-like cells with the potential to resorb calcium mineral. The review closes with a mention of therapeutic possibilities and an evolutionary paradigm to explain the reciprocal responses of vascular and bone mineralization to inflammation.

متن کاملLITHOTHEQUE knowledge system about world-s mineral deposits supported by miniaturized sample sets: call for international adoption, networking and exchange
Our civilization is based on metals, among other life supports. The existing ore deposits are becoming rapidly depleted by almost exponentially increasing demand and production and major new ore discoveries are needed. Mineral exploration is supported by modern tools and scientific ideas, but geological characteristics of orebodies and their rock associations have still to be visualized.The tim...
متن کاملبررسی تاثیر اسیدالائیدیک بر بیان ژن استئونکتین در سلولهای عضلهی صاف دیوارهی رگها
Background and Objective: Atheroma formation and progression of atherosclerosis are dependent on the expression of bone matrix proteins and regulatory factors such as osteonectin in the vessel walls. Studies have shown that consumption of Trans fatty acids increase risk of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, the effect of elaidic acid on osteonectin gene expression as one of the vascular ca...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Efficient Hybrid Method for Motif Discovery in DNA Sequences
This work presents a hybrid method for motif discovery in DNA sequences. The proposed method called SPSO-Lk, borrows the concept of Chebyshev polynomials and uses the stochastic local search to improve the performance of the basic PSO algorithm as a motif finder. The Chebyshev polynomial concept encourages us to use a linear combination of previously discovered velocities beyond that proposed b...

Circulating monocytes represent 4% and 10% of mice and human blood leukocytes, respectively. Emerging evidence suggests that monocytes can initiate inflammatory responses, carry antigen to lymph nodes, patrol and clean up the vasculature, recognize pathogens, and help kill tumor cells. The purpose of this review is to provide an update on the understanding of transcriptional and post-transcript...
