Bone morphogenetic protein receptor-2 signaling promotes pulmonary arterial endothelial cell survival: implications for loss-of-function mutations in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension.
Mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor-2 (BMPR2) have been found in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH); however, the mechanistic link between loss of BMPR2 signaling and the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension is unclear. We hypothesized that, contrary to smooth muscle cells, this pathway promotes survival in pulmonary artery endotheli...
متن کاملBone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor Type 2 Mutation in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rapidly progressive and lethal disease, characterized by an increase in resistance of the pulmonary arterioles, causing an increased right ventricular (RV) afterload. The RV adapts to this increased load via several compensatory mechanisms, but these are not sufficient to prevent progression to RV dysfunction and failure, which is the predominant cause...

متن کاملOverexpression of human bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 does not ameliorate monocrotaline pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is associated with mutations of bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2), and BMPR2 expression decreases with the development of experimental PAH. Decreased BMPR2 expression and impaired intracellular BMP signaling in pulmonary artery (PA) smooth muscle cells (PASMC) suppresses apoptosis and promotes proliferation, thereby contributing to the pathogene...
متن کاملActivation of the bone morphogenetic protein receptor by H11kinase/Hsp22 promotes cardiac cell growth and survival.
H11 kinase/Hsp22 (H11K) is a chaperone promoting cardiac cell growth and survival through the activation of Akt, a downstream effector of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). In this study, we tested whether H11K-induced activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway is mediated by the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling, both in a transgenic mouse model with cardiac-specific overexpression of H11K...
