Endothelial <i>BMPR2</i> Loss Drives a Proliferative Response to BMP (Bone Morphogenetic Protein) 9 via Prolonged Canonical Signaling
1 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Objective: Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a disease of proliferative vascular occlusion that is strongly linked to mutations in BMPR2 —the gene encoding the BMPR-II (BMP [bone morphogenetic protein] type II receptor). The endothelial-selective BMPR-II ligand, BMP9, reverses disease in animal models of pulmonary arterial hypertension and suppresses the proliferation of healthy endothelial cells. However, the...
