Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)-7 expression is decreased in human hypertensive nephrosclerosis
BACKGROUND Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)-7 is protective in different animal models of acute and chronic kidney disease. Its role in human kidneys, and in particular hypertensive nephrosclerosis, has thus far not been described. METHODS BMP-7 mRNA was quantified using real-time PCR and localised by immunostaining in tissue samples from normal and nephrosclerotic human kidneys. The impact o...

متن کاملBone morphogenetic protein-7 expression in human pyelonephritis.
Bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP- 7) is a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF) beta superfamily and is involved in regeneration, repair, and development of specific tissues, for example kidney and skeleton. The experimental studies have shown its protective role against fibrotic processes. Tubulointerstitial changes are present in the pyelonephritic kidney which progresses to fibrosi...
متن کاملperiplasmic expression of a novel human bone morphogenetic protein-7 mutant in escherichia coli
background: bone morphogenetic proteins (bmps) belong to the transforming growth factor-β (tgf-β) superfamily, and play an important role in bone metabolism. recombinant forms of bmp-2 and bmp-7 are the only bmps used clinically. in this study the mature part of human bone morphogenetic protein-7 (bmp-7) was engineered through substitution of the bmp-7 n-terminal sequence by heparin-binding sit...
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...
