Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate induces enhancement of OPG expression and inhibition of RANKL expression via inhibition of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase to inhibit the osteogenic differentiation and calcification in vascular smooth muscle cells
N-BP increases OPG expression and decreases RANKL expression via inhibition of FPPS to inhibit the osteogenic differentiation and calcification in VSMCs.
