Reply to Kelder et al.: Does the dorsal mesenchymal protrusion act as a temporary pacemaker during heart development?
We thank Kelder et al. (1) for sharing their valuable insights into the development of atrioventricular (AV) junction. In response to their comments, our replies are as follows. The anatomical identity of the derivatives of dorsal mesenchymal protrusion (DMP) in our studies is in agreement with that described previously (2–5), which can be mapped by Mef2c-AHF-Cre (3, 5), and was also shown to b...
متن کاملA mouse model for human short-stature syndromes identifies Shox2 as an upstream regulator of Runx2 during long-bone development.
Deficiencies or mutations in the human pseudoautosomal SHOX gene are associated with a series of short-stature conditions, including Turner syndrome, Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis, and Langer mesomelic dysplasia. Although this gene is absent from the mouse genome, the closely related paralogous gene Shox2 displays a similar expression pattern in developing limbs. Here, we report that the conditi...
متن کاملGremlin1 preferentially binds to bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and BMP-4 over BMP-7.
Gremlin (Grem1) is a member of the DAN family of secreted bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists. Bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) mediates protective effects during renal fibrosis associated with diabetes and other renal diseases. The pathogenic mechanism of Grem1 during diabetic nephropathy (DN) has been suggested to be binding and inhibition of BMP-7. However, the precise interacti...
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 کاملFunction of bone morphogenetic protein signaling during mouse development.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play pleiotropic roles during development and after birth in many different organisms. BMPs are members of TGF-beta superfamily. There are more than 20 members with three type II receptors and three type I receptors. Genetic approaches using the mouse as a model system revealed many of the functions of BMPs. Particularly, results obtained through loss-of-funct...
