The results in Figure 4 show that the activation of Msx2 by osteogenic media was significantly diminished by the addition of DAPT (P<0.05 compared to VSMCs cultured
Sox9 as a master transcription factor for chondrogenesis also delayed BMP2 induced bone formation of MSCs, and endochondral ossification through repress Runx2 expression, and thus
As shown in Figure 3A, expression of markers related to the mesenchymal phenotype, such as markers of cell migration and smooth muscle cell differentiation, was higher in the cells
MGP deficiency is associated with medial calcification of the arterial wall, in a process that involves both osteogenic transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)
In this study, we first demonstrated the expression levels of IL-1 b and TNF- a in high cholesterol diet (HCD)-fed zebrafish larvae, and found that although HCD induced vascular
cultures of human aortas and found that high levels of calcium and phosphorus, such as in CKD, substan- tially increased the calcium-phosphate-nucleation-in- duced calcification
This process leads to differentiation of osteoblasts (CVC), whether from a smooth muscle cell, a mesenchymal cell, or vascular pericyte, with consequent increased expression
On the other hand, the karyotype variation observed among speci- mens from the southeastern region (Mesa and Fontanetti, 1984) and those analyzed here may indicate the occurrence
