- |||||||||| Preclinical, Journal: Melatonin Promotes Cerebral Angiogenesis in Ischemic Mice via BMP6/Smad1/5/9 Pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 27, 2025
Melatonin promoted the expression of BMP6 and its downstream targets, Smad1/5/9, as well as factors associated with angiogenesis Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) in vivo and in vitro, which was counteracted or partially inhibited by suppression of BMP6 expression. Our research provides strong evidence that melatonin promotes angiogenesis after cerebral infarction through BMP6/Smad1/5/9 signaling pathway, supporting the restoration of neural function.
- |||||||||| Biomarker, Journal: BMP6 participates in the molecular mechanisms involved in APAP hepatotoxicity. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 12, 2025
This study reveals that hepatic BMP6 expression is increased in APAP-induced acute liver injury, positioning it as a potential new biomarker of liver damage severity. Moreover, our data indicate that BMP6 might play a role in the hepatocyte-macrophage crosstalk during APAP-induced hepatotoxicity.
- |||||||||| Biomarker, Journal: Serotonin enhances neurogenesis biomarkers, hippocampal volumes, and cognitive functions in Alzheimer's disease. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 19, 2024
In conclusion, increased serotonin levels are associated with improved cognitive function and increased brain volume. However, associations with CNTF, FGF-4, BMP-6, and MMP-1 were not statistically significant after adjustments, highlighting the complexity of serotonin's role in AD and the need for further research.
- |||||||||| Journal: The Influence of BMP6 on Serotonin and Glucose Metabolism. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 31, 2024
BMP6 deficiency does not cause diabetic changes, although a mild difference in insulin tolerance test between BMP6-/- and WT mice was observed. In conclusion, BMP6 does not directly influence glucose metabolism, but there is a possibility that its deletion causes slowly developing changes in glucose and serotonin metabolism, which would become more expressed with ageing.
- |||||||||| Journal: Transcriptome Analysis Elucidates the Potential Key Genes Involved in Rib Development in bmp6-Deficient Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). (Pubmed Central) - May 25, 2024
The up-regulated genes such as tnf?, fos, and ctgf in pathways may facilitate the proliferation and differentiation of osteoclasts, whereas the down-regulation of genes such as tgfb2 and tgfbr1 in pathways may hinder the formation and specialisation of osteoblasts, ultimately resulting in rib abnormalities. This study presents novel findings on the impact of bmp6 gene deletion on the rib development of silver carp, while simultaneously investigating the previously unexplored molecular mechanisms underlying rib defects in fish.
- |||||||||| Journal: BMP6 inhibits gastric cancer growth and predicts good prognosis. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 14, 2024
Our findings suggest that BMP6 is a potential prognostic biomarker in GC and can regulate the biological activity of GC cells through the NF-?B pathway. BMP6 may serve as a promising therapeutic target for GC, and our study introduces novel ideas for the prevention and treatment of this disease.
- |||||||||| Bone Morphogenetic Protein 6 Deficiency Distorts Wnt and Oxidative Stress Signaling in Lung Tissue (San Diego Convention Center, Area B (Hall A-B2, Ground Level)) - Feb 20, 2024 - Abstract #ATS2024ATS_6768;
Bmp6-/- mice exhibit a predicted reduction in pulmonary capillary endothelial cells, lower Wnt signaling pathway and pluripotency gene expression, and increased oxidative stress and redox pathway gene expression in both the air and CS exposed groups. These results extend our prior data, indicating a potential beneficial role for Bmp6 in lung repair.
- |||||||||| Journal: Role of hepcidin upregulation and proteolytic cleavage of ferroportin 1 in hepatitis C virus-induced iron accumulation. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 16, 2023
The other is post-translational regulation of the iron-exporting membrane protein ferroportin 1 (FPN1), which is cleaved between residues Cys284 and Ala285 in the intracytoplasmic loop region of the central portion mediated by HCV NS3-4A serine protease. We propose that host transcriptional activation triggered by endoplasmic reticulum stress and FPN1 cleavage by viral protease work in concert to impair iron efflux, leading to iron accumulation in HCV-infected cells.

Journal: Gibberellin derivative GA-13315 overcomes multidrug resistance in breast cancer by up-regulating BMP6 expression. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 20, 2022 Either overexpression of BMP6 or treatment the cells with GA5 significantly decreased ERK phosphorylation and P-gp expression, indicating that GA5 reversed MDR of MCF-7/Adr cells by upregulating BMP6, thereby inhibiting the activation of ERK signaling pathway and reducing P-gp expression. Collectively, our present study demonstrated that the MDR of MCF-7/Adr cells was closely related to the low expression of BMP6, and revealed the molecular mechanisms by which GA5 overcame MDR in breast cancer, providing evidence in supporting the development of GA5 to be a promising agent for overcoming MDR in clinical cancer therapy in the future.
- |||||||||| Journal: Site pleiotropy of a stickleback Bmp6 enhancer. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 10, 2022
Transgenic analysis and site-directed mutagenesis experiments both deleting and scrambling this predicted Foxc1 TFBS revealed that the binding site is required for enhancer activity in both teeth and fins throughout embryonic, larval, and adult development, and in the heart and kidney in adult fish. Collectively these data support a model where the pleiotropy of this Bmp6 enhancer is due to site pleiotropy and this putative binding site is required for enhancer activity in multiple anatomical sites from the embryo to the adult.
- |||||||||| Journal: Anticeramide Improves Sjögren's Syndrome by Blocking BMP6-Induced Th1. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 26, 2022
Moreover, an in vivo study showed that anticeramide treatment (myriocin) for an SS animal model (NOD/LtJ mice) could significantly decrease the IFN-γ expression and Th1 frequency in the salivary glands and suppress the inflammation infiltration in salivary glands and maintain the salivary flow rates, both of which reflect SS-like symptoms. This study identifies a promising target that could effectively attenuate the abnormal state of CD4 T cells and reverse the progression of SS.

Journal, IO biomarker: BMP6 Promotes the Secretion of 17 Beta-Estradiol and Progesterone in Goat Ovarian Granulosa Cells. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 27, 2022 Further studies found that BMP6 inhibited the mRNA expression of 3β-HSD and steroid synthesis acute regulator (StAR) but significantly promoted the mRNA expression of the E2 synthesis rate-limiting enzyme CYP19A1 and the P4 synthesis rate-limiting enzyme CYP11A1 (p < 0.01). Taken together, these results showed that the exogenous addition of BMP6 did not affect the proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis of goat ovarian GCs but promoted the secretion of E2 and progesterone P4 in ovarian GCs by upregulating the mRNA expressions of CYP19A1 and CYP11A1.
- |||||||||| Journal: LncXIST Facilitates Iron Overload and Iron Overload-Induced Islet Beta Cell Injury in Type 2 Diabetes through miR-130a-3p/ALK2 Axis. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2022
Moreover, knockdown of ALK2 alleviated iron overload and iron overload-induced INS-1 cells injury by inhibiting bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6)/ALK2/SMAD1/5/8 axis but reversed with XIST upregulation, which was terminally boosted by overexpression of miR-130a-3p. XIST has the capacity to promote iron overload and iron overload-related T2D initiation and development through inhibition of ALK2 expression by sponging miR-130a-3p, and that targeting this axis may be an effective strategy for treating patients with T2D.
- |||||||||| Journal: Iron, hepcidin, and microcytosis in canine hepatocellular carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 8, 2022
Microcytic cases had higher hepcidin RNA in non-HCC tissue than normocytic cases. Future studies may extend these findings to protein quantification, cellular localization of RNA changes, and determining if iron loading in canine liver is a predisposing factor for HCC.
- |||||||||| Journal: Role of the BMP6 protein in breast cancer and other types of cancer. (Pubmed Central) - May 19, 2022
This work presents a review on the role of BMP6 protein in breast cancer (BC) and other types of cancer. The studies carried out to date suggest the participation of the BMP6 protein in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype, cell growth and proliferation; however, these processes are affected in a variable way in the different types of cancer, the methylated CpG sites in BMP6 gene promoter, as well as the interaction with other proteins could be the cause of such variation.
- |||||||||| Targeting bone morphogenetic protein 6 as a therapeutic target for LKB1-inactivated lung cancer (Section 20) - Mar 9, 2022 - Abstract #AACR2022AACR_3329;
Collectively, our findings show that upregulation of hepcidin via BMP6 signaling and followed by iron sequestration in tumor cells is part of the metastatic invasion strategy of LKB1 inactivated NSCLC. Therefore, current clinical strategies targeting BMP6 signaling could improve outcomes for LKB1-mutant lung cancer patients.
