Cardiac hypertrophy is exacerbated in aged mice lacking the osteoprotegerin gene

Abstract: These results suggest that OPG plays a role in preserving myocardial structure and function with ageing through a reduction in apoptosis and preservation of the matrix structure. In addition, this appears to be independent of effects on the vasculature.

“…Although osteoprotegerin can affect vascular function, its cardiac effects seem to be direct and independent of effects on the vasculature. 94 Recent vascular transcriptomic analysis has shown that the SPHK1 gene (sphingosine phosphate kinase 1) involved in sphingosine-1-phosphate generation is highly affected in hypertensive vasculature in response to angiotensin II 95 . This is important because it seems to modulate NO release, Nox activity, vascular contraction, and inflammation.…”

“…Its expression was shown to be increased with age 36 . In animal studies, the OPG-knockout mice not only developed osteoporosis at an early age but also manifested increased apoptotic myocardial cells, cardiac eccentric hypertrophy, attenuated contractile function and artery calcification [37][38][39] . In clinical studies, serum OPG was demonstrated to be positively associated with BMD [40][41][42] , and its expression was reported to be increased in HF patients 43,44 .…”

“…The development of transgenic technologies in mice has led to advances in knowledge of the role of OPG/RANKL/RANK system in bone metabolism and cardiometabolic functions. Concerning cardiometabolic disorders, Hao et al[ 84 ] showed that OPG -/- mice exhibited a significant increase in systolic blood pressure since early stages of life, and that this rise was in parallel with the osteoporotic change in these mice. OPG -/- mice also presented a higher heart weight/body weight ratio than age-matched wild-type mice, indicating that OPG plays an important role in the preservation of cardiac structure.…”
