High-mobility group box-1 promotes vascular calcification in diabetic mice via endoplasmic reticulum stress
J Cell Mol Med. 2021 Mar 16. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.16075. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSeveral studies reported the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in vascular calcification. High-mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1) plays a substantial role in diabetes and its complications. However, relatively little information is available regarding the association between HMGB-1 and calcification, and the underlying mechanism has still remained elusive. Therefore, in the present study, we attempted to indicate whether HMGB-1 could promote vascular calcification via ERS in diabetes. After induction of diabetes by Streptozotocin (STZ),...

Restoration of critical defects in the rabbit mandible using osteoblasts and vascular endothelial cells co-cultured with vascular stent-loaded nano-composite scaffolds
In this study, we prepared poly-caprolactone/nano-hydroxyapatite/beta-calcium phosphate (PCL/nHA/β-TCP) composite scaffolds loaded with poly-(lactic-co-glycolic acid)/nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen/heparin sodium (PLGA/nHA/Col/HS) nanofiber small vascular stent by electrospinning and hot press forming-particle leaching methods. Supramolecular electrostatic self-assembly technology was used to modify the surfaces of small vascular stents to aid in hydrophilicity and anticoagulation. The surfaces of composite scaffolds were modified with an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) short peptide by physical adsorption to supply cell adhesion sites. ...

Differential Contribution of Renal Cytochrome P450 Enzymes to Kidney Endothelial Dysfunction and Vascular Oxidative Stress in Obesity
Biochem Pharmacol. 2021 Nov 22:114850. doi: 10.1016/j.bcp.2021.114850. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTArachidonic acid (AA)-derived cytochrome P450 (CYP) derivatives, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and 20-hidroxyeicosatetranoic acid (20-HETE), play a key role in kidney tubular and vascular functions and blood pressure. Altered metabolism of CYP epoxygenases and CYP hydroxylases has differentially been involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic disease-associated vascular complications, although the mechanisms responsible for the vascular injury are unclear. The present study aimed to assess whether obesity-induced changes ...

Vascular Calcification: Key Roles of Phosphate and Pyrophosphate
Int J Mol Sci. 2021 Dec 17;22(24):13536. doi: 10.3390/ijms222413536.ABSTRACTCardiovascular complications due to accelerated arterial stiffening and atherosclerosis are the leading cause of morbimortality in Western society. Both pathologies are frequently associated with vascular calcification. Pathologic calcification of cardiovascular structures, or vascular calcification, is associated with several diseases (for example, genetic diseases, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease) and is a common consequence of aging. Calcium phosphate deposition, mainly in the form of hydroxyapatite, is the hallmark of vascular calcificatio...

MFG-E8 promotes osteogenic transdifferentiation of smooth muscle cells and vascular calcification by regulating TGF- β1 signaling
Commun Biol. 2022 Apr 19;5(1):364. doi: 10.1038/s42003-022-03313-z.ABSTRACTVascular calcification occurs in arterial aging, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is a key modulator driving the osteogenic transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), leading to vascular calcification. We hypothesize that milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8), a glycoprotein expressed in VSMCs, promotes the osteogenic transdifferentiation of VSMCs through the activation of TGF-β1-mediated signaling. We observe that the genetic deletion of MFG-E8...

Vascular calcification: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic interventions
MedComm (2020). 2023 Jan 3;4(1):e200. doi: 10.1002/mco2.200. eCollection 2023 Feb.ABSTRACTVascular calcification (VC) is recognized as a pathological vascular disorder associated with various diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, aortic valve stenosis, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, as well as chronic kidney disease. Therefore, it is a life-threatening state for human health. There were several studies targeting mechanisms of VC that revealed the importance of vascular smooth muscle cells transdifferentiating, phosphorous and calcium milieu, as well as matrix vesicles on the progress of VC. However,...

TRPV4 channels promote vascular permeability in retinal vascular disease
This study aimed to determine the role of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), a calcium (Ca2+)-permeable cation channel, in the pathophysiology of retinal vascular disease. The retinal vein occlusion (RVO) murine model was created by irradiating retinal veins using lasers. TRPV4 expression and localization were evaluated in RVO mice retinas. In addition, we examined the effects of TRPV4 antagonists (RQ-00317310, HC-067047, GSK2193874, and GSK2798745) on retinal edema, blood flow, and ischemic areas in RVO mice. Furthermore, changes in the retinal expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and aquaporin4 (AQ...
