1 17804487 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)].
2 17804487 HG as well as TGF-beta raise caspase-3 activity, increase apoptosis, and reduce cell survival which is, in part, blocked by BMP7.
3 17804487 Knockdown and forced expression studies indicate that smad5 is required as well as sufficient for these actions of BMP7.
4 19403392 To evaluate the effect of bone morphogenic protein 7 (BMP-7) on nephrin expression and distribution in diabetic rat kidneys.
5 19403392 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.
6 19403392 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.
