Regulation of articular chondrocyte phenotype by bone morphogenetic protein 7, interleukin 1, and cellular context is dependent on the cytoskeleton.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) induce cartilage differentiation and morphogenesis. There are profound changes in the cytoskeletal architecture during the morphogenesis of cartilage. To investigate the possibility that morphogenetic signals such as BMPs may regulate chondrocyte phenotype by modulation of cytoskeletal protein expression, we determined whether the expression and distribution o...
متن کاملInvolvement of bone morphogenetic protein-4 and bone morphogenetic protein-7 in the differentiation of the adrenergic phenotype in developing sympathetic neurons.
The neurotransmitter phenotype of sympathetic neurons is specified by interactions with the surrounding embryonic tissues. Adrenergic differentiation is elicited early during development in the vicinity of notochord and dorsal aorta and the importance of axial midline tissues for adrenergic differentiation has been well documented. We now provide evidence that bone morphogenetic proteins, BMP-4...
متن کاملBone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) reverses obesity and regulates appetite through a central mTOR pathway.
Body weight is regulated by coordinating energy intake and energy expenditure. Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ)/bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling has been shown to regulate energy balance in lower organisms, but whether a similar pathway exists in mammals is unknown. We have previously demonstrated that BMP7 can regulate brown adipogenesis and energy expenditure. In the current stud...
متن کاملBone morphogenetic protein 7 regulates reactive gliosis in retinal astrocytes and Müller glia
PURPOSE The focus of this study was to determine whether bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) trigger reactive gliosis in retinal astrocytes and/or Müller glial cells. METHODS Retinal astrocytes and the Müller glial cell line MIO-M1 were treated with vehicle, BMP7, or BMP4. Samples from the treated cells were analyzed for changes in gliosis markers using reverse transcriptase - quantitative PCR...
متن کاملPrevention of atrophic nonunion development by recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-7.
Severe periosteal and soft tissue disruption at the time of fracture may result in the formation of an atrophic nonunion. We have developed a reproducible atrophic nonunion in an animal model. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the immediate application of recombinant human BMP-7 to the fracture site could rescue the healing process in this nonunion model. A total of 56 three mon...
