Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β stimulate tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) activity and mineralization in cultures of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). They are, therefore, considered as stimulators of vascular calcification in the context of atherosclerosis and diabetes type 2. In contrast, although ankylosing spondylitis (AS) leads to the formation of syndesmophytes, which are ectopic ossifications from...
