Molecular effects of loss of BMPR2 signaling in smooth muscle in a transgenic mouse model of PAH
17 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) in human patients is associated with mutations in type 2 receptor for the bone morphogenic protein pathway (BMPR2). Mice expressing an inducible dominant negative form of BMPR2 in smooth muscle develop elevated right ventricular pressures when the transgene is activated. We hypothesized that transcriptional changes in these mice may allow insight into the early...
