Function of bone morphogenetic protein signaling during mouse development.
نویسنده
چکیده
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-function analyses of BMP ligands and their receptors are reviewed in this article.

Background Specific growth factors and feeder layers seem to have important roles in in vitro embryonic stem cells (ESCs) differentiation. In this study,the effects of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) co-culture system on germ cell differentiation from mouse ESCs were studied. MaterialsAndMethods Cell suspension was prepared from one-day-old embryoid bo...
متن کاملBone morphogenetic protein 2 signaling negatively modulates lymphatic development in vertebrate embryos.
RATIONALE The emergence of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) seems to be highly regulated during development. Although several factors that promote the differentiation of LECs in embryonic development have been identified, those that negatively regulate this process are largely unknown. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to delineate the role of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 2 signaling in lymphatic d...
متن کاملBMP signaling is required for cell cleavage in preimplantation-mouse embryos.
The mechanisms regulating cell division during development of the mouse pre-implantation embryo are poorly understood. We have investigated whether bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is involved in controlling cell cycle during mouse pre-implantation development. We mapped and quantitated the dynamic activities of BMP signaling through high-resolution immunofluorescence imaging combined...
متن کاملDeletion of the Sequence Encoding the Tail Domain of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein type 2 Receptor Reveals a Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7-Specific Gain of Function
The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type II receptor (BMPR2) has a long cytoplasmic tail domain whose function is incompletely elucidated. Mutations in the tail domain of BMPR2 are found in familial cases of pulmonary arterial hypertension. To investigate the role of the tail domain of BMPR2 in BMP signaling, we generated a mouse carrying a Bmpr2 allele encoding a non-sense mediated decay-resi...
متن کاملDevelopment of the vertebral morphogenetic field in the mouse: interactions between Crossveinless-2 and Twisted Gastrulation.
Crossveinless-2 (Cv2), Twisted Gastrulation (Tsg) and Chordin (Chd) are components of an extracellular biochemical pathway that regulates Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) activity during dorso-ventral patterning of Drosophila and Xenopus embryos, the formation of the fly wing, and mouse skeletogenesis. Because the nature of their genetic interactions remained untested in the mouse, we generated...
