Hepatic Steatosis Aggravates Vascular Calcification via Extracellular Vesicle‐Mediated Osteochondrogenic Switch of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells by Zhao‐Lin Zeng, Zhi‐Bo Zhao, Qing Yuan, Shi‐Qi Yang, Zhen‐Xing Wang, Zuo Wang, Shi‐Yu Zeng, An‐Qi Li, Qian Chen, Guo‐Qiang Zhu, Xin‐Hua Xiao, Guang‐Hua Luo, Hai‐Yan Luo, Jiao‐Yang Li, Xu‐Yu Zu, Hui Xie, Jiang‐Hua Liu

“…Steatotic hepatocytes are found to release more EVs, which are able to reach the vascular tissue, be taken up by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and promote their osteogenic differentiation. Within these toxic vesicles, a protein cargo is identified called lectin galactoside‐binding soluble 3 binding protein (Lgals3bp) that acted as a potent inducer of osteochondrogenic transformation in VSMCs. …”
