中文摘要：

在冠状动脉疾病的患者中血管钙化是非常普遍的,血管钙化与主要不良心血管事件发生有关,可增加心血管死亡风险。血管钙化的发病机制复杂,目前公认的是类似于骨骼的形成。血管平滑肌细胞（SMC）转分化为成骨样细胞、钙磷平衡的失调、破骨细胞活性和矿物质吸收能力的降低,在血管钙化过程中都扮演着不可或缺的角色。最近的研究发现,microRNA（miRNA）作为一个血管钙化的重要调控物,是通过引起SMC复杂的基因重组和其他相关细胞的功能反应而参与这个过程的。本文将详细介绍miRNA在血管钙化中的调节作用。

英文摘要：

Vascular calcification is highly prevalent in patients with coronary artery disease and,when present,is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events,including an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality.The pathogenesis of vascular calcification is complex and is now recognized to recapitulate skeletal bone formation.Vascular smooth muscle cells（SMC） play an integral role in this process by undergoing transdifferentiation to osteoblast-like cells,disrupting calcium and phosphate homeostasis,diminishing the activity of osteoclast-like cells with mineral resorbing capacity.Recent advances have identified microRNA（miRNA） as key regulators of this process by directing the complex genetic reprogramming of SMC and the functional responses of other relevant cell types relevant for vascular calcification.This review will detail the regulatory role of miRNA in SMC-mediated vascular calcification.
