|
In these cells, BMP7 effectively activates smad5 (but not smad1) and raises p38 phosphorylation [which is also increased by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)].

|
HG as well as TGF-beta raise caspase-3 activity, increase apoptosis, and reduce cell survival which is, in part, blocked by BMP7.

Knockdown and forced expression studies indicate that smad5 is required as well as sufficient for these actions of BMP7.

To evaluate the effect of bone morphogenic protein 7 (BMP-7) on nephrin expression and distribution in diabetic rat kidneys.

|
The rats in BMP-7 group showed less urinary protein excretion, lower TGF-beta1 expression and greater glomerular podocyte number than those in the DM group, and the expression and distribution of nephrin remained normal in the kidney.

|
Administration of BMP-7 can significantly suppress the down-regulation of nephrin expression and maintain its normal distribution in the podocytes in diabetic rats possibly in association with a direct suppression of TGF-betasignaling.
