Bone morphogenic protein 2 induces Runx2 and osteopontin expression in human aortic valve interstitial cells: Role of Smad1 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 08/10/09
Yang X et al. – Interstitial cells of stenotic human aortic valves are characterized by increased bone morphogenic protein 2 levels. A short period of exposure of human aortic valve interstitial cells to bone morphogenic protein 2 induces the expression of Runx2 and osteopontin. The extracellular signal–regulated kinase 1/2 pathway modulates bone morphogenic protein 2–induced osteopontin expression, and the Smad1 pathway plays a role in regulating the expression of both Runx2 and osteopontin induced by bone morphogenic protein 2.
