Bone morphogenetic proteins in development and homeostasis of kidney
Bone morphogenetic proteins play a key role in kidney development and postnatal function. The kidney has been identified as a major site of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-7 synthesis during embryonic and postnatal development, which mediates differentiation and maintenance of metanephric mesenchyme. Targeted disruption of BMP-7 gene expression in mice resulted in dysgenic kidneys with hydroureters, causing uremia within 24 h after birth. Several experimental animal models of acute and chronic renal injury have all unequivocally shown beneficial effect of BMP-7 in ameliorating the severity of damage by preventing inflammation and fibrosis. Apart from the beneficial effect on kidney disease itself, BMP-7 improves important complications of chronic renal impairment such as renal osteodystrophy and vascular calcification.
