Effects of Milk Fat Globule Epidermal Growth Factor VIII On Age-Associated Arterial Elastolysis, Fibrosis, and Calcification
2020-10-07
Abstract excerpt
Milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 (MFG-E8) protein increases with age and is mainly secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells in the arterial wall. Here, we investigated the role of MFG-E8 signaling during proinflammation, elastolysis, fibrosis, and calcification within the aging arterial wall. In vivo studies indicated that (1) Elastic lamina breaks collagen deposition and calcium-phosphorus products were markedly inc...
