Basal Expression of Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor is Reduced in Mild Asthma
21 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Despite increasing recognition of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in tissue remodeling, the expression pattern of ligands and signaling pathways remain undefined in the asthmatic airway. OBJECTIVES: To determine expression of BMP ligands (BMP-2, BMP-4, and BMP-7) and type I and type II receptors (ALK-2, ALK-3, ALK-6, and BMPRII) as well as evidence for activation of BMP signaling via...
