Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-6 signaling and BMP antagonist noggin in prostate cancer.
It has been proposed that the osteoblastic nature of prostate cancer skeletal metastases is due in part to elevated activity of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). BMPs are osteoinductive morphogens, and elevated expression of BMP-6 correlates with skeletal metastases of prostate cancer. In this study, we investigated the expression levels of BMPs and their modulators in prostate, using microar...
متن کاملThe bone morphogenetic protein antagonist noggin regulates mammalian cardiac morphogenesis.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play many roles in mammalian cardiac development. Here we address the functions of Noggin, a dedicated BMP antagonist, in the developing mouse heart. In early cardiac tissues, the Noggin gene is mainly expressed in the myocardial cells of the outflow tract, atrioventricular canal, and future right ventricle. The major heart phenotypes of Noggin mutant embryos ...
متن کاملBone Morphogenetic Protein 7 (BMP-7) Influences Tendon-Bone Integration In Vitro
INTRODUCTION Successful graft ingrowth following reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament is governed by complex biological processes at the tendon-bone interface. The aim of this study was to investigate in an in vitro study the effects of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) on tendon-bone integration. MATERIALS AND METHODS To study the biological effects of BMP-7 on the process of ...
متن کاملBone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling in development and human diseases.
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are a group of signaling molecules that belongs to the Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of proteins. Initially discovered for their ability to induce bone formation, BMPs are now known to play crucial roles in all organ systems. BMPs are important in embryogenesis and development, and also in maintenance of adult tissue homeostasis. Mouse knock...
متن کاملHemojuvelin and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in iron homeostasis
Mutations in hemojuvelin (HJV) are the most common cause of the juvenile-onset form of the iron overload disorder hereditary hemochromatosis. The discovery that HJV functions as a co-receptor for the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family of signaling molecules helped to identify this signaling pathway as a central regulator of the key iron hormone hepcidin in the control of systemic iron home...
