Gremlin1 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 کاملFibrin Hydrogel Based Bone Substitute Tethered with BMP-2 and BMP-2/7 Heterodimers
Current clinically used delivery methods for bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are collagen based and require large concentrations that can lead to dangerous side effects. Fibrin hydrogels can serve as osteoinductive bone substitute materials in non-load bearing bone defects in combination with BMPs. Two strategies to even further optimize such a fibrin based system include employing more pote...
متن کاملBMP-2 and BMP-4 signalling in the developing spinal cord of human and rat embryos.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multifunctional growth factors implicated in multiple biological events. Studies on mice, chickens and other experimental animals have shown that BMP signalling plays critical role in embryonic development, in particular in the neural patterning. In our study we comparatively evaluated BMP-2 and BMP-4 protein expression in the developing spinal cord of hum...
متن کاملVarious Dosages of BMP-2 for Management of Massive Bone Defect in Sprague Dawley Rat
Introduction: The use of BMP-2 plays an important role in the treatment of extensive bone defect. However, data about the optimal dosage of BMP-2 in the massive bone defect cases is rare. Material and Method: Twenty-five SD rats were randomly divided into a control group ofhydroxyapatite (HA) alone (Group I), HA+BMP-2 1µg/mL (Group II), HA+BMP-2 5 ug/mL (Group III), HA+BMP-2 10 µg/mL (Gro...
متن کاملDefining BMP functions in the hair follicle by conditional ablation of BMP receptor IA
Using conditional gene targeting in mice, we show that BMP receptor IA is essential for the differentiation of progenitor cells of the inner root sheath and hair shaft. Without BMPRIA activation, GATA-3 is down-regulated and its regulated control of IRS differentiation is compromised. In contrast, Lef1 is up-regulated, but its regulated control of hair differentiation is still blocked, and BMPR...
