<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; color: #4472c4; mso-themecolor: accent1;">Research overview</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thirty million people in the United States are estimated to have chronic kidney disease (CKD). In patients with CKD, arterial calcification (pathological deposition of calcium phosphate salts into the arterial walls) is common, with a prevalence approaching 80%, and may contribute to their high cardiovascular mortality. The long-term goal of our research program is to understand the pathophysiology of arterial calcification and to develop new treatment strategies for it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our research program includes: 1) the role of calciprotein particles (CPPs) in the development of arterial calcification. CPPs are nanoparticles that are composed of calcium phosphate crystals and calcification inhibitors. They are thought to mediate the transport and clearance of excess calcium and phosphate in circulation. Using a new, microplate -based, dynamic light scattering assay, we measured both the size of secondary CPPs and transformation time and investigate the role of CPPs in arterial calcification using human vascular smooth muscle cells and CKD patient cohorts. 2) the role of cellular interaction in arterial calcification. Studying the paracrine signaling between endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells will help identify novel therapeutic targets that attenuate vascular calcification without adverse effects on bone mineralization.</p>
