Background-—Vascular calcification is a common feature in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD increases serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-a (TNFa), a critical mediator of vascular calcification. However, the molecular mechanism by which TNFa promotes CKD-dependent vascular calcification remains obscure. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether TNFa-induced vas...
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with both accelerated cardiovascular disease and alterations in vitamin D and mineral metabolism. Calcification of both coronary and extra-cardiac vessels is common in ESRD. Several studies suggest that vascular calcification is associated with coronary atherosclerosis, vascular wall stiffness, left ventricular hypertrophy, and subsequent increased m...
Vascular calcification is part of the definition of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). It is also a surrogate parameter of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality risk in the CKD population. However, vascular calcification is not a homogenous entity, but a rather complex manifestation influenced by derangements of calcium and phosphate homeostasis, by dysregulated calcif...
Vascular calcification is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A full understanding of the signalling pathways mediating vascular calcification is crucial not just because of the importance of this pathology in disease, but also for exploring potential therapeutic targets. Clinically there is a need to develop therapies to prevent or even reverse calcification in situ...
BACKGROUND Monckeberg's calcification in diabetes, known as medial artery calcification, is an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality. However, the mechanism underlying this phenomenon remains to be elucidated. We demonstrate that advanced glycation end products (AGEs) induce calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells through the receptor for AGE (RAGE)/p38 mitogen-activated prote...
Vascular calcification has severe clinical consequences in a number of diseases, including diabetes, atherosclerosis and end-stage renal disease. The in vitro calcification of primary mouse, human and bovine vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is commonly employed to examine the mechanisms of vascular calcification. However, to date, no published studies have utilised a murine cell line to inv...
OBJECTIVES Vascular calcification is one the major characteristics in patients with various types of chronic inflammatory disorders. MiRNAs have been shown to be involved in many normal biological functions as well as diseases; however, their role in vascular calcification has not received much attention. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the current study, we built a vascular calcification rat model ...
Vascular calcification is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and contributes to the increased rate of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The mechanisms regulating vascular calcification are under investigation; it is accepted that vascular calcification is an active and complex process involving many factors that promote or inhibit calcification. Vascular smooth muscle ce...
Vascular calcification has severe clinical consequences and is considered an accurate predictor of future adverse cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and stroke. Previously vascular calcification was thought to be a passive process which involved the deposition of calcium and phosphate in arteries and cardiac valves. However, recent studies have shown that vascular calcificat...
OBJECTIVE Cardiovascular diseases constitute the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Calcification of the vessel wall is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients having many diseases, including diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, and chronic kidney disease. Vascular calcification is actively regulated by inductive and inhibitory mechanisms (including vascular smooth ...
