Bone Morphogenetic Proteins Induce Differentiation in Astrocyte Lineage Cells
1 Jan 1994
Abstract excerpt
Serum-free mouse embryo (SFME) cells express Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), a specific marker of the astrocyte lineage, when treated with either Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-beta) or calf serum. We examined the effects of the related Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) which are expressed in the developing murine nervous system. Treatment with the heterodimers BMP-2/6 and 2/7 followed by the...
