- Abstract
Mineralisation paradox is prevalent in chronic kidney disease and ageing where increased vascular calcification is accompanied by reduced bone mineralisation and osteopenia. Secondary calciprotein particles (CPP2), colloidal nanoparticles containing hydroxyapatite crystal stabilised by a protein shell, have been implicated in vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease. Here, we describe the effect of CPP2 on osteoblasts and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) mineralisation in an in vitro model system. The mineralisation paradox can be simulated in vitro by the addition of phosphate ions (Pi, 3 mM) and CPP2 (10 µg/ml of Ca equivalent). Pi alone induced osteoblast mineralisation but had no effect on VSMC mineralisation. CPP2 alone had no effect on mineralisation in either cell line, but when combined with elevated Pi, reduced osteoblast-like mineralisation (P < 0.001) whilst induced VSMC mineralisation (P < 0.001). These results suggest that in an in vitro system the synergistic interaction between Pi and CPP2 could mimic the mineralisation paradox, and may provide a potential mechanistic link to explain these clinical observations.
