BMP7 — CTGF
Text-mined interactions from Literome
Abreu et al., Nat Cell Biol 2002
:
These results show that
CTGF inhibits
BMP and activates TGF-beta signals by direct binding in the extracellular space
Mou et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2006
:
Edar activation also induces
connective tissue growth factor , an
inhibitor of
BMP signaling, allowing BMP action only at a distance from their site of synthesis
Nguyen et al., J Am Soc Nephrol 2008
(Diabetes Mellitus, Experimental...) :
CTGF inhibits
BMP-7 signaling in diabetic nephropathy ... In cultured renal glomerular and tubulointerstitial cells,
CTGF diminished
BMP-7 signaling activity, evidenced by lower levels of pSmad1/5, Id1 mRNA, and BMP-responsive element-luciferase activity
Fuchshofer et al., Exp Eye Res 2009
:
Following combined BMP7/TGF-beta2 treatment, the antagonizing
effect of
BMP7 on TGF-beta2 induced
CTGF expression was abolished
Xu et al., Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi 2009
:
To investigate the effects of
bone morphogenic protein (BMP)-7 upon epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition ( EMT ) and the expression of
connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells ( HK-2 )
induced by transforming growth factor-beta1, ( TGF-beta1 ) and to explore the possible mechanisms of BMP-7 for the inhibition and reversal of renal interstitial fibrosis
Meurer et al., Eur J Cell Biol 2012
:
However, although siRNA mediated knock down of Alk2/3 or Smad1/5 counteracts the
BMP-7 effect on basal
CTGF expression there was no consistent reversion of the observed BMP-7 effect on TGF-ß1 mediated CTGF expression
