LAMP2 is increased in calcifying rodent aortas. Rat aortic calcification was induced by subcutaneous injection with 1.2 × 105 IU/kg/day vitamin D3 or vehicle for 3 days. After total 14 days, aortas were dissected and total RNA was isolated. qPCR results revealed that LAMP2 was increased concomitant with osteogenic transformation showing increased RUNX2 and BMP2, and decreased TAGLN. Six rats for each group were analyzed. Values are presented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05.
