Magnesium Inhibits Wnt/β-Catenin Activity and Reverses the Osteogenic Transformation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Magnesium reduces vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) calcification in vitro but the mechanism has not been revealed so far. This work used only slightly increased magnesium levels and aimed at determining: a) whether ...
TGF-β Prevents Phosphate-Induced Osteogenesis through Inhibition of BMP and Wnt/β-Catenin Pathways
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Background: Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) is a key cytokine during differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC)
into vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). High phosphate induces a phenotypic transformation of ...
In vascular smooth muscle cells paricalcitol prevents phosphate-induced Wnt/β-catenin activation
(American Journal of Physiology, 2012)
The present study investigates the differential effect of two vitamin D receptor agonists, calcitriol and paricalcitol, on human aortic smooth muscle cells calcification in vitro. Human vascular smooth muscle cells were ...
