BMP signaling regulates PGC numbers and motility in organ culture
Members of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family play diverse roles in multiple developmental processes. However, in the mouse, mutations in many BMPs, BMP receptors and signaling components result in early embryonic lethality making it difficult to analyze the role of these factors during organogenesis or tissue homeostasis in the adult. To bypass this early lethality, we used an organ c...
متن کاملTwisted Gastrulation BMP Signaling Modulator 1 Regulates Papillary Thyroid Cancer Cell Motility and Proliferation
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are growth factors that have important functions in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. To date, BMP pathway activation has been found in multiple human tumors and is associated with enhanced malignant tumor growth and metastasis. BMP activity is tightly regulated by a family of soluble extracellular secreted BMP modulators. Twisted gastrulation...
متن کاملBMP Signaling Regulates Extracellular Matrix Composition and Permeability in C.elegans
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway signaling plays a critical role in extracellular growth and homeostasis, including basement membrane remodeling and long bone growth. In the small free-living nematode C. elegans, BMP signaling regulates body size development and drug response through an unknown physiological mechanism. Our lab and others have shown animals lacking BMP signaling (bmp(-))...
متن کاملFstl1 Antagonizes BMP Signaling and Regulates Ureter Development
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway plays important roles in urinary tract development although the detailed regulation of its activity in this process remains unclear. Here we report that follistatin-like 1 (Fstl1), encoding a secreted extracellular glycoprotein, is expressed in developing ureter and antagonizes BMP signaling activity. Mouse embryos carrying disrupted Fstl1 gene...
متن کاملInjury-induced BMP signaling negatively regulates Drosophila midgut homeostasis
Although much is known about injury-induced signals that increase rates of Drosophila melanogaster midgut intestinal stem cell (ISC) proliferation, it is largely unknown how ISC activity returns to quiescence after injury. In this paper, we show that the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway has dual functions during midgut homeostasis. Constitutive BMP signaling pathway activation...
