Abstract

Vascular calcification is an important characteristic of atherosclerosis. According to histological analyses, bone formation tends to occur in heavily calcified carotid lesions devoid of ulceration and hemorrhage. Vascular calcification is not a simple degenerative and necrotic process associated with atherosclerosis but an active process similar to bone formation. Proteins involved in regulating skeletal bone formation are present in human atherosclerotic lesions. These proteins include osteoprotegerin and its ligand, bone sialoprotein, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 and BMP-4, osteocalcin, osteonectin, matrix Gla protein, and osteopontin. These molecules play important roles as active promotors for calcification or decalcification. These molecules are also important in inflammatory mechanisms in atherosclerosis and calcification.
