Interleukin-4 differentially regulates osteoprotegerin expression and induces calcification in vascular smooth muscle cells

Vascular calcification is characterized by cellular transdifferentiation and expression of bone-related matrix proteins that result in the presence of bone-like structures in the vascular wall...

Serum osteoprotegerin in young survivors of myocardial infarction

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a member of the tumour necrosis factor superfamily and is involved in the regulation of bone metabolism and vascular calcification...

Serum levels of the osteoprotegerin, receptor activator of nuclear factor ?-B ligand, metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and tissue inhibitors of MMP-1 levels are increased in men 6 months after acute myocardial infarction

Background: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor ?-B ligand (RANKL) are critical regulators of bone remodeling and RANKL/RANK signaling could also play an important role in the remodeling process of several tissues, such as myocardium...

Circulating levels of osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of NF-?B ligand in patients with chronic renal failure

Background: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a recently identified cytokine that acts as a decoy receptor for the receptor activator of nuclear factor-?B ligand (RANKL)...

Keywords: bone mineral density, chronic renal failure, markers of bone remodeling, osteoprotegerin, receptor activator of nuclear factor-?B ligand
