Probing early human embryonic development to characterize BMP signaling stimulators
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) sind sowohl in der Embryonalentwicklung als auch im adulten Organismus von entscheidender Bedeutung. Da ein fehlregulierter Signalweg mit zahlreichen chronischen und schwerwiegenden Krankheiten assoziiert ist, stellt dessen Modulierung einen vielversprechenden …

Spatio-temporal investigation and quantitative analysis of the BMP signaling pathway
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are key regulators for a lot of diverse cellular processes. During embryonic development these proteins act as morphogens and play a crucial role particularly in organogenesis. BMPs have a direct impact on distinct cellular fates by means of …

BMP Signaling through BMPR1A is Required for Establishment of Pancreatic Laterality
… Various bone morphogenetic proteins (Bmps) and Bmp receptors (Bmprs) are expressed in the pancreas and in the tissues that flank the pancreatic bud during pancreatic development. Bmp7, BmpR1a, and BmpRII are expressed in the pancreatic endoderm during pancreatic bud development. Bmp2, …

BMP Signaling Regulates Germ Cell Pluripotency, Sexual Differentiation, and Cancer Susceptibility
… recent GWAS study [3] identified association of BMP7 with testicular dysgenesis syndrome; however the molecular mechanisms behind this association remain unknown. Previously, we described the development of testicular germ cell tumors in zebrafish carrying a mutation in bmpr1bb, a BMP family …

THE ROLE OF BMP SIGNALING AND ENDOGLIN IN REGULATION OF HEMATOPOIESIS
… candidates, Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMP) and Endoglin in adult hematopoiesis. Several publications have described the importance of BMP signaling in specification of hematopoietic tissue in developing embryos. In Article I and II, we investigate the full role of BMP signaling in adult …

Body Size Regulation via BMP Signaling in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>
… a homolog of Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMP) is a major regulator of body size; functional loss of DBL-1 leads to a small body size. Due to a drastic change in body size in dbl-1 mutants, we have the advantage of studying body size as a monogenic trait and we are able to investigate the …

Bmp-Signaling Regulates A Common Transcriptional Program to Control Facial Form and Skeletal Morphogenesis
… neural crest (CNC) derived progenitor cells. Bmp-signaling plays critical roles in normal craniofacial development, and Bmp4 deficiency results in craniofacial abnormalities, such as cleft lip and palate. We performed an in depth analysis of <em>Bmp4</em>, a critical regulator of development, …

Not Black and White: BMP Signaling Drives Melanocyte Differentiation Downstream of Stem Cell Activation
… into mature pigment-producing melanocytes. The signaling factors and gene expression programs that orchestrate these cellular changes are still incompletely understood. To elucidate new insights into this process, I developed fluorescence-activated cell sorting strategies to isolate quiescent, …

A Niche for Adult Neurogenesis: Analysis of BMP Signaling and Transcriptional Profiles of Adult Subventricular Zone Cells
… SVZ. I show that the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist Noggin is expressed by ependymal cells and that SVZ cells express BMP s as well as their receptors. In vitro, BMP signaling potently inhibited neurogenesis. Conversely, Noggin protein in vitro promoted neurogenesis. Overexpression of …

Investigating the coordination of germline stem cell fate by ecdysone signaling and BMP signaling in the Drosophila ovary
… how signal convergence is achieved. Ecdysone signaling and Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling are well-known signals that promote GSC self-renewal. Over-expression of Ecdysone Receptor (EcR), knock-down of bag of marbles (bam), or over-expression of constitutively active thickveins …

Identification of a Novel Role of BMP Signaling in Enteric Neural Crest Colonization of the Zebrafish Enteric Nervous System
… and we still have much to learn regarding the signaling factors that regulate ENCC development. Here in zebrafish, through transcriptomic, in situ transcript expression, immunohistochemical analysis, and chemical attenuation, I identified a time-dependent role for bone morphogenetic protein …

Development of BMP type I receptor kinase inhibitors for the treatment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva and the study of the BMP signaling pathway
The BMP signaling pathway is essential for embryonic development and the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Dysregulated BMP signaling, both loss and gain-of-function, has been demonstrated in the pathogenesis of diseases including cancer, atherosclerosis, anemia and particularly hereditary …

An investigation into a role for follistatin in early cardiogenesis in Xenopus Laevis
… follistatin gene expression and decreasing BMP signaling. Using cultured explants of the heart region, we demonstrated that addition of BMP4 and activin rescued the inhibitory effects of follistatin and RA on cardiomyocyte differentiation. These results indicate that the increased …

A Mutation in Alk6b Causes Impaired Germ Cell Differentation and Testicular Germ Cell Tumors in Zebrafish
… animals. Alk6b is a member of the TGF-beta/BMP superfamily of receptors. BMP signaling has diverse roles including regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, embryonic development, germ cell specification and gonadogenesis. Misregulation of the BMP signaling pathway has been …

Drosophila Cyclin J And The Somatic Pirna Pathway Cooperate To Regulate Germline Stem Cells
… egg chamber packaging in part by limiting BMP signaling and the accumulation of excess germline stem cells (GSCs) and that CycJ appears to cooperate with the somatic piRNA pathway. The increase of GSCs in armi, piwi, or CycJ double mutants depends on increased BMP signaling. Finally, CycJ …

Fop-Acvr1 Signals By Multiple Modalities In The Developing Zebrafish
… in the GS or kinase domains of the type I BMP/TGFβ cell surface receptor, ACVR1, which over-activate signaling through phospho-Smad1/5 (pSmad1/5). To investigate the uncertain mechanism by which FOP-ACVR1 enhances pSmad1/5 activation, we used a zebrafish embryonic dorsoventral (DV) …

Zebrafish Cardiac Development Requires a Conserved Secondary Heart Field
… I further show that differentiation, induced by Bmp signaling, occurs in this progenitor population as cells are added to the heart tube. Some molecular pathways required for SHF development in birds and mammals are conserved in teleosts, as Nkx2.5 and Nkx2.7 as well as Fgf8 regulate Bmp …

Mechanisms underlying rapid activity-dependent structural plasticity at Drosophila neuromuscular junctions
… that rapid bouton budding requires retrograde BMP signaling and local alteration in the presynaptic actin cytoskeleton. BMP acts during development to provide competence for rapid synaptic growth by regulating the levels of the Rho GEF trio, a transcriptional output of BMP-Smad signaling. In a …
