Popis: | Vascular calcification is associated with adverse cardiovascular events that increase the risk of cardiovascular death. Unfortunately, the pathogenesis of vascular calcification is complex and incompletely understood. As important intercellular signaling molecules, the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in vascular calcification has attracted wide attention in recent years. This review will briefly describe the role of EVs (mainly including exosomes and microvesicles) in the process of vascular wall calcification focusing on the specific mechanisms of smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation and calcium-phosphorus balance to illustrate the relationship between EVs and vascular calcification. It is likely that EVs may be prognostic markers in some cardiovascular diseases and have potential therapeutic potential. |
