Dialysis Accelerates Medial Vascular Calcification in Part by Triggering Smooth Muscle Cell Apoptosis

TL;DR: This study shows that Ca accumulation begins predialysis, but it is the induction of VSMC apoptosis in dialysis that is the key event in disabling VSMC defense mechanisms and leading to overt calcification, eventually with clinically detectable vascular damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanistic Insights into Vascular Calcification in CKD

TL;DR: Current understanding of the process of vascular calcification is discussed, focusing specifically on the discrete and synergistic effects of calcium and phosphate in mediating vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis, osteochondrocytic differentiation, vesicle release, calcification inhibitor expression, senescence, and death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prelamin A Acts to Accelerate Smooth Muscle Cell Senescence and Is a Novel Biomarker of Human Vascular Aging

TL;DR: It is shown that prelamin A is a novel biomarker of VSMC aging and disease that acts to accelerate senescence and represents a novel target to ameliorate the effects of age-induced vascular dysfunction.
