1 16622178 Upregulation of Id-1 via BMP-2 receptors induces reactive oxygen species in podocytes.
2 16622178 Here, we show the existence of mRNA for BMP-2 and for the BMP receptors BMPR1A, BMPR1B, BMPRII, ACVR1A, ACVR2, and ACVR2B in differentiated mouse podocytes and the protein expression of BMPR1A in human glomerular podocytes.
3 16622178 Recent data indicate that in a myoblastic cell line and in a breast cancer cell line, BMP-2 increases the expression of Id-1, a negative regulator of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, but the role of BMP-2 stimulated Id-1 expression in the kidney has not been further characterized.
4 16622178 Here, we show that BMP-2 increases the expression of Id-1 in differentiated podocytes.
5 16622178 The data indicate that BMP-2 may, via an increased expression of Id-1 and an increased generation of ROS, contribute to important cellular functions in podocytes.
