Bone morphogenetic protein‐7 inhibits endothelial‐mesenchymal transition in pulmonary artery endothelial cell under hypoxia

Abstract: Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is characterized by structural changes in pulmonary arteries. Increased numbers of cells expressing α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) is a nearly universal finding in the remodeled artery. It has been confirmed endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) may be a source of those α-SMA-expressing cells. In addition, the EndoMT is reversible. Here, we show that under hypoxia, the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) was decreased both in vivo and in vitro. We also… Show more

“…PASMCs and PAECs were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 20% FBS for 48h, respectively [32,53]. The cells were incubated in a 37°C, 21% O 2 or 1% O 2 -5% CO 2 humidified incubator.…”

“…TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and bone morphogenetic proteins are also well-known to cause EndMT 5,6 . Several groups have reported on signaling systems and molecules that induce EndMT, including Wnt/β-catenin 7 and Notch signaling 8 , as well as hypoxia 9 and oxidative stress 10 . These signaling pathways are related to transcription factors involved in mesenchymal transition, such as Snail, Slug, ZEB1, and ZEB2 11,12 .…”

“…The lysates were sonicated, centrifuged at 13, 500 g at 4ºC for 15 min, the insoluble fraction was discarded and the supernatants were collected and used in the western blot assays. The protein concentration was determined by bicinchoninic acid assay and 10 µL aliquots containing 20 μg total cell proteins were separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and then transferred to nitrocellulose membranes as previously described [22]. The membranes were blocked at room temperature for 2 h in TBST and 0.1% Tween 20 containing 5% nonfat dry milk.…”
