Abstract:

Calcification of the vessel wall contributes to high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Vascular calcification (VC) is a systemic disease with multifaceted contributing and inhibiting factors in an actively regulated process. The exact underlying mechanisms are not fully elucidated and reliable treatment options are lacking. Due to the complex pathophysiology, various research models exist evaluating different aspects of VC. This review aims to give an overview of the cell and animal models used so far to study the molecular processes of VC. Here, in vitro cell culture models of different

Calcification of biomaterials used in prosthetic heart valves has been a challenging issue in cardiovascular surgery.

Abstract:

It is generally acknowledged that rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) occurs when the stress acting on the wall over the cardiac cycle exceeds the strength of the wall. Peak wall stress computations appear to give a more accurate rupture risk assessment than AAA diameter, which is currently used for a diagnose. Despite the numerous studies utilizing patient-specific wall stress modeling of AAAs, none investigated the effect of wall calcifications on wall stress.

Patients referred for arterial physiologic testing in an urban and rural regional health care network for a consecutive 7-month period were reviewed. Patients were classified into 3 groups based on referring physician specialty: (1) vascular surgeon or vascular medicine specialist (Vasc), (2) urban primary care physician (Urban), and (3) rural primary care physician (Rural).

Arterial medial calcifications occur often in diabetic individuals as part of the diabetic macroangiopathy. The pathogenesis is unknown, but the presence of calcifications predicts risk of cardiovascular events. We examined the effects of insulin on calcifying smooth muscle cells in vitro and measured the expression of the bone-related molecule osteoprotegerin (OPG). Human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were grown from aorta from kidney donors. Induction of calcification was performed with β-glycerophosphate.

Abstract:

Abalone (Haliotis spp.) are commercially important marine shellfish species worldwide. Knowledge about the physiology of abalone that impacts life-history traits is important for a better understanding of the biology of the species and the impact of stressful husbandry procedures at different seasons. The present study quantified the seasonal and diurnal variations in four physiological parameters of the European species Haliotis tuberculata, i.e. carbon aerial and aquatic respiration, calcification and excretion rates, and the effect of prolonged aerial exposure upon abalone aerial respiratio

Abstract:

Arterial calcification, the deposition of calcium-phosphate crystals in the extracellular matrix, resembles physiological bone mineralization. It is well-known that extracellular nucleotides regulate bone homeostasis raising an emerging interest in the role of these molecules on arterial calcification. The purinergic independent pathway involves the enzymes ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterases (NPPs), ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (NTPDases), 5′-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase. These regulate the production and breakdown of the calcification inhibitor—pyr

Abstract:

Abstract. Marine organisms that produce calcium carbonate structures are predicted to be most vulnerable to a decline in oceanic pH (ocean acidification) based on the understanding that calcification rates will decrease as a result of changes in the seawater carbonate chemistry thereby reducing carbonate ion concentration (and associated saturation states). Coastal seas are critical components of the global carbon cycle yet little research has been conducted on acidification impacts on coastal benthic organisms. Here, a critical appraisal of calcification in six benthic species showed, contrar

Abstract:

Coccolithophores are unicellular marine algae that produce biogenic calcite scales and substantially contribute to marine primary production and carbon export to the deep ocean. Ongoing ocean acidification particularly impairs calcifying organisms, mostly resulting in decreased growth and calcification. Recent studies revealed that the immediate physiological response in the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi to ocean acidification may be partially compensated by evolutionary adaptation, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms are currently unknown. Here, we report on the expression levels of 1

Abstract:

Ocean acidification (OA) is predicted to reduce reef coral calcification rates and threaten the long-term growth of coral reefs under climate change. Reduced coral growth at elevated p CO 2 may be buffered by sufficiently high irradiances; however, the interactive effects of OA and irradiance on other fundamental aspects of coral physiology, such as the composition and energetics of coral biomass, remain largely unexplored. This study tested the effects of two light treatments (7.5 versus 15.7 mol photons m −2 d −1 ) at ambient or elevated p CO 2 (435 versus 957 µatm) on calcification, photopi

Abstract. During the last decades conceptual models describing the calcification pathway of foraminifera and its physiological controls have been developed. These models are derived by combining data of tracer experiments and microscopic observations obtained from different species. Although vital for understanding their calcitic isotopic and trace elemental composition, direct observational evidence on e.g. seawater vacuolization and intracellular Ca-cycling is lacking for most species. To analyse the relation between seawater uptake and calcification, we incubated juveniles of the cosmopolit

Calcific disease of the cardiovascular system, including atherosclerotic calcification, medial calcification in diabetes and calcific aortic valve disease, is an important risk factor for many adverse cardiovascular events such as ischemic cardiac events and subsequent mortality. Although cardiovascular calcification has long been considered to be a passive degenerative occurrence, it is now recognized as an active and highly regulated process that involves osteochondrogenic differentiation, apoptosis and extracellular vesicle release. Nonetheless, despite numerous studies on the pathogenesis

Therefore, the present study explored the effects of ECs on calcification of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) from aortas of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Methods: Aortic ECs and SMCs were isolated from SHR and Wistar rats, respectively. The roles of ECs in the regulation of SMCs calcification were investigated by co-cultur

Observational studies indicate that omega-3 fatty acids protect against vascular calcification, but the mechanisms are unknown. The G-protein coupled receptor ChemR23 transduces the resolution of inflammation induced by the omega-3-derived lipid mediator resolvin E1. ChemR23 also contributes to osteoblastic differentiation of stem cells and bone formation, but its role in vascular calcification is unknown. The aim of this study was to establish the role of

Gene array analysis was performed in aortic valves obtained from three groups of rats ( n = 7 rats/group): calcified valves obtained from rats fed with uremic diet, valves after calcification resolution following diet cessation, and control.
