Researchers at University of Freiburg target angiogenesis
Published in Angiogenesis Weekly, September 5th, 2008
According to recent research from Freiburg, Germany, " Bone Morphogenetic Protein-4 (BMP-4) and Extracellular-Signal Regulated Kinases (ERK) play crucial roles in vascular diseases. Here, we demonstrate that BMP-4 not only signals through the classical Smad cascade but also activates ERK phosphorylation as an alternative pathway in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and that Smad and ERK pathways communicate through signal crosstalk."
" HUVECs were treated with BMP-4 and/or MEK inhibitors. Smad 6 and constitutively active (ca) MEK1 were overexpressed. Loss of function of Smad 4 and Smad 6 was achieved by specific siRNA transfection. Cell lysates were...
