BMP2 promotes chondrocyte proliferation via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

چکیده
Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, plays a key role in the induction of the differentiation of mesenchymal cells into chondrocytes to form cartilage tissue. However, it is not clear whether BMP2 regulates the proliferation of chondrocytes. In the present study, the effect of BMP2 on the proliferation of chondrocytes and its underlying mechanism was investigated. Chondrocytes isolated from the knee of SD rats were cultured and identified using toluidine blue staining. The second generation chondrocytes were collected and stimulated with or without BMP2 for 48 h. Cell viability was analyzed using the MTT assay. mRNA and protein expression levels of β-catenin, GSK-3β, Dvl1 and Cyclin D1 were detected using real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The cell cycle distribution of the chondrocytes was analyzed by flow cytometry. BMP2 stimulation was found to significantly increase cell viability. In addition, following BMP2 treatment, β-catenin, Cyclin D1 and Dvl1 expression was significantly increased, whereas GSK-3β expression was significantly decreased. Moreover, the percentage proportion of chondrocytes in the G0/G1 phase was significantly decreased, whereas that in the S phase was significantly increased. The results indicate that BMP2 promotes chondrocyte proliferation via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

متن کاملInteraction of viral oncogenic proteins with the Wnt signaling pathway
It is estimated that up to 20% of all types of human cancers worldwide are attributed to viruses. The genome of oncogenic viruses carries genes that have protein products that act as oncoproteins in cell proliferation and transformation. The modulation of cell cycle control mechanisms, cellular regulatory and signaling pathways by oncogenic viruses, plays an important role in viral carcinogenes...
متن کاملThe Role of Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway in Rat Primordial Germ Cells Reprogramming and Induction into Pluripotent State
Primordial Germ Cells (PGCs) are unipotent precursors of the gametes. PGCs can give rise to a type of pluripotent stem cells in vitro that are called embryonic germ (EG) cells. PGCs can also acquire such pluripotency in vivo and generate teratomas. Under specific culture conditions, PGCs can be reprogrammed to embryonic germ cells which are capable of expression of key pluripotency marker...
