  • ADVANCES IN OSTEOGENIC MECHANISM AND OSTEOGENIC EFFECTS OF BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN 6

    Objective To review the osteogenic mechanism and osteogenic effects of bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP-6) so as to provide the basis for further research of BMP-6. Methods The related articles about the osteogenic mechanism and the osteogenic effects of BMP-6 in experimental animals were extensively summarized. Results BMP-6 from bone matrix can transduct the osteogenic signal to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) by means of Smad protein signal transduction pathway. And the BMSCs which received the signals will differentiate into osteoblasts and chondroblasts. Therefore, BMP-6 plays an important role in the development and maturation of bone and cartilage. In addition, BMP-6 has a close relation with bone diseases, such as fracture, osteoporosis, and bone tumor. Conclusion The deep research of BMP-6 is expected to provide a new therapeutic approach for treating bone diseases of nonunion, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis.
