15. Fitzpatrick LA, Severson A, Edwards WD, Ingram RT: Diffuse calcification in human coronary arteries: association of osteopontin with atherosclerosis. J Clin Invest 1994, 94:1597-1604. These authors identified hydroxyapatite mineral distributed diffusely throughout atherosclerotic arteries. The bone related factor osteopontin was also detected at the mineralizing front of calcified lesions. No osteopontin was detected in non-atherosclerotic arteries.

In this study, soft tissues were examined for the presence and regulation of messenger RNA (mRNA) for the bone-associated protein osteocalcin. The authors demonstrated osteocalcin mRNA in nondiseased human aortae in low amounts, with a 13-fold higher expression of osteocalcin mRNA in calcified aortic plaques.

Arterioscler Thromb 1994, 14:1648-1656. These authors demonstrated osteopontin mRNA in primary and restenotic human atherosclerotic plaques. Using in-situ hybridization the authors identified the cells producing this mRNA as macrophages, smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells.

Arterioscler Thromb 1994, 14:1480-1497. This report is the first demonstration of a potential genetic component to arterial calcification. Using mouse genetics the authors identified clear evidence for a genetic influence on artery wall calcification.

These authors reported identification of a novel arterial cell with osteoblast-like characteristics. The authors also demonstrated that these cells were stimulated to mineralize by TGFβ1 and 25-hydroxycholesterol.
