Ryuichi Kato,Yukihiko Momiyama,Reiko Ohmori,Hiroaki Taniguchi,Haruo Nakamura,Fumitaka Ohsuzu +5 more
TL;DR: Plasma MMP-8 concentration is associated with the presence and severity of CAD, and was independently associated with CAD.

High Plasma Levels of Osteopontin in Patients With Restenosis After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Ryuichi Kato,Yukihiko Momiyama,Reiko Ohmori,Nobukiyo Tanaka,Hiroaki Taniguchi,Koh Arakawa,Masatoshi Kusuhara,Haruo Nakamura,Fumitaka Ohsuzu +8 more
TL;DR: No association between plasma OPN levels and restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has yet been demonstrated and this study was approved by institutional ethics committee.

Serum resistin levels and cardiovascular events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
Yukihiko Momiyama,Reiko Ohmori,Harumi Uto-Kondo,Nobukiyo Tanaka,Ryuichi Kato,Hiroaki Taniguchi,Koh Arakawa,Haruo Nakamura,Fumitaka Ohsuzu +8 more
TL;DR: Serum resistin levels were found to be associated with further cardiovascular events in patients undergoing PCI and on multivariate analysis, resistin, but not CRP, was an independent predictor of MACE.

Associations between plasma osteopontin levels and the severities of coronary and aortic atherosclerosis.
Yukihiko Momiyama,Reiko Ohmori,Zahi A. Fayad,Teruyoshi Kihara,Nobukiyo Tanaka,Ryuichi Kato,Hiroaki Taniguchi,Masayoshi Nagata,Haruo Nakamura,Fumitaka Ohsuzu +9 more
TL;DR: High levels of osteopontin (OPN) mRNA and proteins were reported in atherosclerotic plaques and OPN-overexpressing transgenic mice developed marked atherosclerosis lesions, suggesting that OPN plays an important role in Atherosclerosis.
