Cdon suppresses Vascular Smooth Muscle Calcification via Repression of Wnt/Runx2 axis
2022-06-22
Abstract excerpt
Osteogenic transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a risk factor associated with vascular diseases. Wnt signaling is one of the major mechanisms implicated in osteogenic conversion of VSMCs. Since Cdon plays a negative role in Wnt signaling in distinct cellular processes, we sought to investigate the role of Cdon in vascular calcification. The expression of Cdon is significantly downregulat...
