中文摘要：

Objective:To explore effect of high glucose on expression of osteoprotegerin(OPG) and receptor activator of NF- κB ligand(RANKL) in rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells.Methods:SD rats were intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin,OPG and RANKL expression in rat thoracic aortas were detected by immunohistochemical staining.In cultured vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs)(A7r5),qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis were used to examine the mRNA and protein levels of OPG and RANKL.Results:Our results demonstrated that OPG expression was increased in hyperglycemic rat aortic VSMCs.while RANKL expression was decreased.Besides,in vitro experiments high glucose induced OPG expression,but depressed RANKL expression by dose- and time-dependent manner in cultured A7r5.Conclusions:Our findings suggested that high glucose could promote the expression of OPG,and inhibit the expression of RANKL in VSMCs,which may be partly be the molecular mechanism of diabetic vascular calcification.
