N2 - Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) act as growth regulators and inducers of differentiation. They transduce their signal via three different type I receptors, termed activin receptor-like kinase 2 (Alk2), Alk3, or bone morphogenetic protein receptor Ia (BMPRIa) and Alk6 or BMPRIb. Little is known about functional differences between the three type I receptors. Here, we have investigated consequences of constitutively active (ca) and dominant negative (dn) type I receptor overexpression in adult-derived hippocampal progenitor cells (AHPs). The dn receptors have a nonfunctional intracellular but functional extracellular domain. They thus trap BMPs that ...

Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a disorder affecting the vasculature of the lung. A highly prevalent form of PH is that associated with underlying chronic lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, little is known about the mechanisms that drive the development of PH secondary to chronic lung diseases. Loss of function mutations in bone morphogenic protein receptor (BMPR) 2 have been strongly linked to familial and non-familial cases of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In PAH, loss of function BMPR2 mutations lead to pronounced vascular remodeling and increased responsiveness of vascular smooth muscle cells to the pro-fibrotic cytokine, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β. In addition, the loss of BMPR2 function in vascular smooth muscle cells abrogates the anti-proliferative effects of BMP ligands by altering downstream Smad signaling pathways. Our hypothesis is that BMPR2 is down-regulated in PH secondary to lung ...

The BMP signaling pathway controls morphogenesis of nearly every tissue and organ by coordinating basic properties of the cell, such as differentiation, proliferation, motility, morphology, and death, either during development and in the adult (27, 28). Here, we demonstrate that the BMPR2 mRNA is a target of translational regulation by FMRP and provide evidence supporting a link between augmented BMP signaling and neurological disorder in humans. The epistatic relationship between FMR1 and BMPR2 and the physiological significance of the FMRP-mediated down-regulation of BMPR2 during neuronal development have been conserved during evolution from Drosophila to mammals. In particular, the noncanonical signaling pathway downstream of BMPR2, which includes LIMK1, appears to play an essential role in the development of the neuropathology of patients with FXS and in the mouse model of FXS. Tempering this pathway, either by reducing the BMPR2 gene dosage or applying a small-molecule inhibitor of LIMK1, ...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a particularly insidious and devastating disorder resulting from elevated pulmonary vascular resistance causing restricted flow through the pulmonary arterial circulation and ultimately death due to right heart failure. It is increasingly recognized that PAH not only involves changes in vascular tone and reactivity, but it is also the result of an imbalance in cell proliferation, cell death, and genetic factors, mechanisms felt to play a large role in the unrestrained growth in cancer.. Recent registry data suggest that the prevalence of PAH may be ≈15 cases per million.3 Idiopathic PAH has been most intensively studied and has an estimated incidence of 1 to 2 cases per million in the United States. Heritable PAH accounts for ≈6% of PAH patients without an associated condition, and mutations in bone morphogenic protein receptor 2 and other members of the transforming growth factor β signaling family have been identified in ≈75% of families with ...

Data describing the natural history of idiopathic and familial pulmonary arterial hypertension were derived from a registry conducted at our institution prior to 2006. Since then, targeted therapies for pulmonary arterial hypertension have been introduced in China. It is probably that the prognosis of Chinese patients with WHO group I pulmonary arterial hypertension and WHO group IV pulmonary hypertension due to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension has also been improved as western countries. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to describe real-world outcome of Chinese patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and identify factors that may predict outcome. Our study will provide an updated picture of the clinical course of a more broadly defined scope of pulmonary hypertension and the effects of current therapy on survival, enabling the collection of data on demographics, clinical course, treatments, and outcomes ...

Mutations in bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2) are present in ,80% of familial and ~20% of sporadic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients. Furthermore dysfunctional BMP signaling is a general feature of pulmonary hypertension even in non-familial PAH.. We therefore hypothesized that increasing BMP signaling might prevent and reverse the disease. We screened , 3500 FDA approved drugs for their propensity to increase BMP signaling and found FK506 (Tacrolimus) to be a strong activator of BMP signaling. Tacrolimus restored normal function of pulmonary artery endothelial cells, prevented and reversed experimental PAH in mice and rats.. Given that Tacrolimus is already FDA approved with a known side-effect profile, it is an ideal candidate drug to use in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.. The aims of our trial are:. ...

Editors Note: Commentary based on Hemnes AR, Trammell AW, Archer SL et al.A Peripeheral Blood Signature of Vasodilator-Responsive Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. Circulation 2014;.114.013317. [Epub ahead of print].. It has long been noted that there is a small group of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension who have a marked improvement in their hemodynamics when given vasodilators acutely such as nitric oxide. These so-called vasodilator responders can often be successfully treated with calcium channel blocker therapy, as opposed to the great majority of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients who do not have such an improvement and are generally treated with standard pulmonary arterial hypertension medications, e.g. phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, endothelin receptor antagonists and prostaglandins. We hypothesized that there is a different molecular etiology of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension in patients who have this vasodilator response compared ...

BACKGROUND: In a phase 2 trial, selexipag, an oral selective IP prostacyclin-receptor agonist, was shown to be beneficial in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.. METHODS: In this event-driven, phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we randomly assigned 1156 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension to receive placebo or selexipag in individualized doses (maximum dose, 1600 μg twice daily). Patients were eligible for enrollment if they were not receiving treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension or if they were receiving a stable dose of an endothelin-receptor antagonist, a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, or both. The primary end point was a composite of death from any cause or a complication related to pulmonary arterial hypertension up to the end of the treatment period (defined for each patient as 7 days after the date of the last intake of selexipag or placebo).. RESULTS: A primary end-point event occurred in 397 patients--41.6% of those in the ...

Rationale and objectives Schistosomiasis is the world-wide leading cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and is particularly prevalent in developing countries. More than 80% of patients with familial PAH in the western-world have a mutation in bone morphogenetic protein type-II receptor (BMPR-II), which is a member of the transforming growth receptor-beta (TGF-b) superfamily and is important in cell proliferation and differentiation. The aim of the study was to determine if mice with a heterozygous null mutation in BMPR-II are more susceptible to pulmonary vascular remodelling induced by S. mansoni infection, compared with wild-type littermates.. ...

Germline mutations in the gene encoding for bone morphogenic receptor-2 (BMPR2) can cause pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Molecular genetic diagnosis and counseling is currently available but not broadly implemented due to poor translation in direct clinical benefit.. We aim to investigate the influence of BMPR2 mutation on clinical outcome in PAH and selected parameters of long-term transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) follow-up in heritable PAH (HPAH) patient relatives.. BMPR2 mutation screening was performed in 124 sporadic or familial idiopathic PAH patients. Clinical, functional, hemodynamic parameters and outcome were compared in 23 BMPR2 mutation carriers and 101 noncarriers. Predictive screening was carried out in 53 HPAH relatives. TTE and CPET were performed repeatedly in 18 carriers and 15 noncarriers HPAH patient relatives, respectively.. As compared with noncarriers, BMPR2 mutation carriers were younger at diagnosis, had higher mean ...

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (or PAH) is caused when high blood pressure develops within the pulmonary artery, the main thoroughfare of the lungs.

The exact cause of PPH is unknown. Research has linked primary pulmonary hypertension to genetic or familial predisposition. Researchers believe the blood vessels are particularly sensitive to certain internal or external factors, and constrict, or narrow, when exposed to these factors, such as an immune system factor, or sensitivity to drugs or other chemicals.. Secondary pulmonary hypertension occurs as a result of the effects of other conditions which may include diseases of the heart or lungs, a blood clot in the lungs, or a condition called scleroderma.. ...
