Importance of BMP-2 and BMP network on osteoblastic differentiation. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, March 2009, Pages: 192
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are key
morphogenetic regulators of skeletal tissue
development and potent inducers of post-
developmental mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs)
differentiation. Previous studies highlight the
complex, temporal expression pattern of BMPs during
fracture repair and pre-natal bone development,
suggesting that these processes are regulated
through the coordinated actions of multiple BMPs.
Murine bone MSCs are a recognized ex vivo system of
mesenchymal stem cell differentiation in which the
effects of BMPs could be examined. These data
suggests MSC differentiation is dependent on the
endogenous expression of multiple BMPs, it attempts
to characterize the interactions of the BMPs within
this network, and determine if the network is
autonomously regulated by the expression of specific
BMPs. These data demonstrate the inter-relation of
BMPs during the progression of osteogenic
differentiation, the ability of BMPs to induce and
repress the expression of other isoforms to suggest
a complex regulatory pattern, and specifically that
BMP-2 is an early and consequently essential
regulator of this coordinated BMP pathway.
