Activation of canonical BMP4-SMAD7 signaling suppresses breast cancer metastasis.
Metastasis is the major cause of death in cancer patients; with no therapeutic cure, treatments remain largely palliative. As such, new targets and therapeutic strategies are urgently required. Here we show that bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) blocks

Analysis of Oct4-dependent transcriptional networks regulating self-renewal and pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells [PDF]
The POU domain transcription factor OCT4 is a key regulator of pluripotency in the early mammalian embryo and is highly expressed in the inner cell mass of the blastocyst. Consistent with its essential role in maintaining pluripotency, Oct4 expression is

Current perspectives of the signaling pathways directing neural crest induction. [PDF]
The neural crest is a migratory population of embryonic cells with a tremendous potential to differentiate and contribute to nearly every organ system in the adult body.

Temporal BMP4 effects on mouse embryonic and extraembryonic development
The developing placenta, which in mice originates through the extraembryonic ectoderm (ExE), is essential for mammalian embryonic development. Yet unbiased characterization of the differentiation dynamics of the ExE and its interactions with the embryo ...

Noggin regulates Bmp4 activity during pituitary induction
Bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp) signaling is critical for the development and patterning of the mouse pituitary from the initial induction of Rathke's pouch to cell specification in the anterior lobe. We examined the regulation of Bmp signaling during pituitary development by analyzing null embryos for noggin, a Bmp 2 and 4 antagonist.

Background Autophagy is a conserved catabolic process with complicated roles in tumor development. Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4), a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF-β) family of regulatory proteins, plays a crucial role in human ...

Genetic regulation of pituitary gland development in human and mouse [PDF]
Normal hypothalamopituitary development is closely related to that of the forebrain and is dependent upon a complex genetic cascade of transcription factors and signaling molecules that may be either intrinsic or extrinsic to the developing Rathke’s ...

BMP4 expression in the developing rat retina
We investigated the expression of bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) in the developing retina. At E19, we found very intense BMP4 immunoreactivity (IR) in the nerve fiber layer. At P1, the inner plexiform layer exhibited very strong BMP4-IR. Thereafter, abundant BMP4 expression was kept to the adult period.

Mutations in BMP4 Cause Eye, Brain, and Digit Developmental Anomalies: Overlap between the BMP4 and Hedgehog Signaling Pathways [PDF]
Developmental ocular malformations, including anophthalmia-microphthalmia (AM), are heterogeneous disorders with frequent sporadic or non-Mendelian inheritance. Recurrent interstitial deletions of 14q22-q23 have been associated with AM, sometimes with poly/syndactyly and hypopituitarism.
