Cortistatin inhibits arterial calcification in rats via GSK3 β/β‐catenin and protein kinase C signalling but not c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase signalling

ConclusionThese results indicate that CST inhibits aortic calcification and osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs likely via the GSK3β/β‐catenin and PKC signalling pathways, but not JNK signalling pathway.
