BMPR2 expression is suppressed by signaling through the estrogen receptor
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Studies in multiple organ systems have shown cross-talk between signaling through the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2) and estrogen pathways. In humans, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has a female predominance, and is associated with decreased BMPR2 expression. The goal of this study was to determine if estrogens suppress BMPR2 expression. METHODS: A variety of techniques were...
