Inhibition of Phosphate-Induced Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Osteo-/Chondrogenic Signaling and Calcification by Bafilomycin A1 and Methylamine
Background/Aims: Excessive phosphate concentrations trigger vascular calcification, an active process promoted by osteoinduction of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) with increased expression and activity of transcription factor RUNX2 (Core-binding factor α1, CBFA1), alkaline phosphatase (ALPL),...
