Osteoprotegerin and RANKL-RANK-OPG-TRAIL signalling axis in heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases

Mieczyslaw Dutka et al.

Summary: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a glycoprotein involved in bone remodelling regulation and shows potential as a therapeutic target for cardiovascular diseases. High plasma levels of OPG and a high OPG/TRAIL ratio may predict poor prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction.

Emerging roles of fibroblasts in cardiovascular calcification

Wudi Li et al.

Summary: Cardiovascular calcification is a complex pathophysiological process associated with poor prognosis, with the etiology still unclear. Fibroblasts play important roles in the calcification of vasculature, valve, and heart, but further research is needed to understand their phenotypic switching mechanisms and contributions during the calcification process.

Serum osteoprotegerin levels, endothelial function and carotid intima-media thickness in type 2 diabetic patients

Mutlu Gunes et al.

Summary: The study found that in patients with type 2 diabetes, levels of osteoprotegerin and CIMT were increased, while FMD measurements were decreased. There was a correlation between circulating OPG levels and the presence of diabetes and hypertension, but no relationship with CIMT or FMD was observed.

Association of RANKL and OPG Gene Polymorphism in Arab Women with and without Osteoporosis

Saba Abdi et al.

Summary: The study indicated that RANKL and OPG genes are associated with postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) in the Arabian population. Specifically, the OPG gene SNP rs2073618A/G may be a significant genetic risk factor for PMO in Saudi Arabian women.

Association between Serum Osteoprotegerin Levels and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

Yves Cottin et al.

Summary: The study found an association between serum OPG levels and coronary lesion complexity in patients with acute myocardial infarction, which was not influenced by factors such as hypercholesterolemia, cardiovascular history, and reduced glomerular filtration rate.
