Journal ArticleDOI
Osteopontin. A Multifunctional Molecule Regulating Chronic Inflammation and Vascular Disease
TL;DR: The role for OPN proteolytic fragments in vivo is almost completely unexplored, and further knowledge of the effects of OPN fragments on cell responses might help in designing therapeutics targeting inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of smooth muscle cells in vascular calcification: implications in atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness.
TL;DR: Comparison and contrast the role of VSMCs in driving calcification in both atherosclerosis and in the vessel media focusing on the major drivers of calcification, including aging, uraemia, mechanical stress, oxidative stress, and inflammation are compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
NF-κB Mediates αvβ3 Integrin-induced Endothelial Cell Survival
Marta Scatena,Manuela Almeida,Michelle L. Chaisson,Nelson Fausto,Roberto F. Nicosia,Cecilia M. Giachelli +5 more
TL;DR: NF-κB is identified as an important signaling molecule in αvβ3 integrin-mediated endothelial cell survival and was required for osteopontin- and vitronectin-induced survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of osteopontin in inflammatory processes
TL;DR: Besides its function in inflammation, OPN is also a regulator of biomineralization and a potent inhibitor of vascular calcification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteoprotegerin Is an αvβ3-induced, NF-κB-dependent Survival Factor for Endothelial Cells
Uriel M. Malyankar,Marta Scatena,Katherine L. Suchland,Theodore J. Yun,Edward A. Clark,Cecilia M. Giachelli +5 more
TL;DR: Scatena et al. as mentioned in this paper used differential cloning to identify osteopontin-induced, NF-kappaB-dependent genes in endothelial cells and showed that osteoprotegerin induction was time-dependent and observed as early as 3 h following treatment.
