Abstract

Nidogen-2 is a Novel Endogenous Ligand of LGR4 to Inhibit Vascular Calcification.

Circulation research, 2022; PubMed, Homo sapiens NID2 — Homo sapiens LGR4
ABSTRACT: Vascular calcification is closely related to the all-cause mortality of cardiovascular events. Basement membrane protein nidogen-2 is a key component of the vascular extracellular matrix microenvironment and we recently found it is pivotal for the maintenance of contractile phenotype in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, whether nidogen-2 is involved in VSMCs osteochondrogenic transition and vascular calcification remains unclear.
