Heterotopic ossification in mice overexpressing Bmp2 in Tie2+ lineages
22 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp) signaling is critical for organismal development and homeostasis. To elucidate Bmp2 function in the vascular/hematopoietic lineages we generated a new transgenic mouse line in which ectopic Bmp2 expression is controlled by the Tie2 promoter. Tie2CRE/+;Bmp2tg/tg mice develop aortic valve dysfunction postnatally, accompanied by pre-calcific lesion formation in valve...
