Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical Implications of the Osteoprotegerin/RANKL/RANK System for Bone and Vascular Diseases
TL;DR: RANKL blockade has prevented bone loss caused by osteoporosis, chronic inflammatory disorders, and malignant tumors in animal models and may emerge as a therapy in humans based on studies in postmenopausal osteop orosis, myeloma bone disease, and osteolytic metastases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Osteoprotegerin Serum Levels in Men with Coronary Artery Disease
Michael Schoppet,Alexander M. Sattler,Juergen R. Schaefer,Matthias Herzum,Bernhard Maisch,Lorenz C. Hofbauer +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that increased OPG serum levels may reflect advanced cardiovascular disease in men and are increased in elderly men and patients with diabetes mellitus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular calcification and osteoporosis--from clinical observation towards molecular understanding.
TL;DR: A unifying hypothesis of vascular calcification is proposed that combines both active and passive mechanisms of vascular mineralization with aspects of bone resorption and age-related changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization of Osteoprotegerin, Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand, and Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-κB Ligand in Mönckeberg’s Sclerosis and Atherosclerosis
Michael Schoppet,Nadia Al-Fakhri,Folker E. Franke,Norbert Katz,Peter Barth,Bernhard Maisch,Klaus T. Preissner,Lorenz C. Hofbauer +7 more
TL;DR: Enhanced apoptosis adjacent to vascular calcification is demonstrated, and the concurrent expression of regulators of apoptosis and osteoclastic differentiation, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand and OPG are suggested, suggesting their involvement in the pathogenesis ofascular calcification.
