BMPER is an endothelial cell regulator and controls bone morphogenetic protein-4-dependent angiogenesis.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are involved in embryonic and adult blood vessel formation in health and disease. BMPER (BMP endothelial cell precursor-derived regulator) is a differentially expressed protein in embryonic endothelial precursor cells. In earlier work, we found that BMPER interacts with BMPs and when overexpressed antagonizes their function in embryonic axis formation. In cont...
متن کاملBone morphogenetic protein 4 regulates microRNAs miR-494 and miR-126-5p in control of endothelial cell function in angiogenesis.
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate posttranscriptional gene expression. Several microRNAs have been described to regulate the process of angiogenesis. Previously, we have shown that bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) increased the pro-angiogenic activity of endothelial cells. In this project, we now investigated how the pro-angiogenic BMP4 effect is mediated by microR...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factor signaling pathway in endothelial cells is activated by BMPER to promote angiogenesis.
OBJECTIVE Previously, we have identified bone morphogenetic protein endothelial cell precursor-derived regulator (BMPER) to increase the angiogenic activity of endothelial cells in a concentration-dependent manner. In this project, we now investigate how BMPER acts in concert with key molecules of angiogenesis to promote blood vessel formation. APPROACH AND RESULTS To assess the effect of BMP...
متن کاملBone morphogenetic protein endothelial cell precursor-derived regulator regulates retinal angiogenesis in vivo in a mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy.
OBJECTIVE Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are potently proangiogenic; however, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of vessel development by BMPs are not fully understood. To assess the significance of BMP endothelial cell precursor-derived regulator (BMPER) in blood vessel formation in vivo, we investigated its role in retinal angiogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS In a model of oxygen-ind...
متن کاملBone morphogenetic protein-2 stimulates angiogenesis in developing tumors.
Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) is highly overexpressed in the majority of patient-derived lung carcinomas. However, a mechanism revealing its role in cancer has not been established. Here we report that BMP-2 enhances the neovascularization of developing tumors. Recombinant BMP-2 stimulated blood vessel formation in tumors formed from A549 cells injected s.c. into thymic nude mice. Recomb...
