description: [Our findings were: (1) Serum levels of OPG were raised in patients with unstable angina (n=40), but not in those with stable angina (n=40), comparing controls (n=20); (2) mRNA levels of RANKL were increased in T-cells in unstable angina patients accompanied by increased expression of RANK in monocytes; (3) strong immunostaining of OPG/RANKL/RANK was seen within thrombus material obtained at the site of plaque rupture during acute myocardial infarction; (4) OPG/RANKL/RANK was expressed in the atherosclerotic plaques of apoE(-/-) mice, with RANKL located specifically to the plaques; and (5) RANKL enhanced the release of monocyte chemoattractant peptide-1 in mononuclear cells from unstable angina patients, and promoted matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity in vascular smooth muscle cells.].
