Differential effects of inhibition of bone morphogenic protein (BMP) signalling on T-cell activation and differentiation.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are involved in patterning and cellular fate in various organs including the thymus. However, the redundancy of BMPs and their receptors have made it difficult to analyse their physiological roles. Here, we investigated the role of BMP signalling in peripheral CD4(+) T cells by analysing the effects of an inhibitor of BMP signalling, dorsomorphin. Dorsomorphi...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor interacts with both heparan and dermatan sulphates, in addition to its specific signalling
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a 90 kDa paracrine factor synthesised by mesenchymal cells. In the extracellular milieu it is proteolytically clipped, yielding a disulphide-linked heterodimer (60 kDa α chain and 30 kDa β chain). The mature processed molecule is biologically active upon epithelial and endothelial cells, and also haemopoietic progenitor cells, and appears to h...
متن کاملBone morphogenic protein signalling suppresses differentiation of pluripotent cells by maintaining expression of E-Cadherin
Bone morphogenic protein (BMP) signalling contributes towards maintenance of pluripotency and favours mesodermal over neural fates upon differentiation, but the mechanisms by which BMP controls differentiation are not well understood. We report that BMP regulates differentiation by blocking downregulation of Cdh1, an event that accompanies the earliest stages of neural and mesodermal differenti...
متن کاملBone Morphogenic Protein Use in Spinal Surgery.
Bone morphogenic protein (BMP) provides excellent enhancement of fusion in many spinal surgeries. BMP should be a cautionary tale about the use of industry-sponsored research, perceived conflicts of interest, and holding the field of spinal surgery to the highest academic scrutiny and ethical standards. In the case of BMP, not having a transparent base of literature as it was approved led to de...
متن کاملEndothelium-derived bone morphogenic protein antagonists may counteract the proatherogenic vascular effects of bone morphogenic protein 4.
In the present issue of Circulation, Chang et al1 report novel shear stress–sensitive paracrine mechanisms that regulate the activity of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) in the vascular wall. BMP2 and BMP4 are structurally related members of the transforming growth factorsuperfamily. Recent studies demonstrated that vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells are a significant source of BMPs...
