Abstract

Vascular smooth muscle cells play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of medial
calcification. We have recently demonstrated expression of the calcium sensing receptor
(CaSR) in human aortic smooth muscle cells (HAoSMC) and human arteries and
demonstrated a correlation between CaSR expression and medial calcification. Here we have
examined downstream CaSR-mediated signaling pathways in HAoSMC and investigated the
role of the CaSR in regulating HAoSMC proliferation and apoptosis.
