doi: 10.3390/biom13071091

Figure Lengend Snippet: eLDL enhances phosphate-induced calcification in cultured human VICs/myofibroblasts. ( A ) Representative example of confluent monolayers of human VICs/myofibroblasts treated with 1 mM phosphate containing pro-calcifying medium (PM) with (wells 11 & 33 containing 2.5 µg/mL eLDL, wells 12 & 34 containing 5 µg/mL eLDL) or without eLDL (wells 10 & 32) as indicated. Cells cultured in PM containing 1 mM inorganic phosphate (P i ) served as controls. Cells were fixed and calcium phosphate deposits were stained with alizarin red pH 4.4. ( B ) For quantification of the alizarin red staining, the alizarin–Ca 2+ complexes were extracted by addition of CPC. The amount of released dye was measured by spectrophotometry at 570 nm. ( C ) qPCR analysis of osteogenic gene mRNA in cultured VICs/myofibroblasts incubated for 7 days in PM containing 1 mM inorganic phosphate (P i ) in the presence (5 µg/mL) or absence of eLDL (control). The mRNA expression levels were normalized to GAPDH according to the 2 −ddCT method. Results from 12 independent experiments are shown. Bar values are means ± SD. ( D ) eLDL induced ANGPTL4 gene expression in VICs/myofibroblasts. ANGPTL4 gene expression was determined for cells exposed to eLDL (5 μg/mL) in combination with PM 1 mM P i for 7 days. Untreated cells (PM with 1 mM P i ) served as control. Results are presented as means ± SD, n = 12, *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, and * p < 0.05. ( E ) Immunohistochemical analysis of osteogenic proteins in AS. Representative sections of Grade 4 aortic valve calcification for ( a ), ENPP1, and ( b ), SPP1. Note the predominant localization of the different antigens around calcified areas. In all panels, the fibrosa with the aortic side of the valve is to the top.
