    Effect of ALK2/3 inhibitors on increased phosphorylated SMAD1/5/8 and SMAD2/3 expression induced by BMP6 and TGF-β in HSG cells. Phosphorylated SMAD1/5/8 (pSMAD1/5/8), pSMAD2/3, SMAD1/5/8, SMAD2 and β-actin (internal control) expression in HSG cells subjected to bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6) or transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) with/without LDN treatment, as measured by Western blot (WB). To determine expression level, fold change of protein expression relative to control cell lysate (HSG cells treated with culture media and diluent for each BMP signaling inhibitor and diluent for LDN only) was used. ( A ) Effect of LDN-212854 on pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio. Upper panel: representative WB of pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio after HSG cells were cultured with 5 ng/mL TGF-β + 60 nM LDN-212854 (lane 1), 5 ng/mL TGF-β (lane 2), control medium (lane 3), 6 ng/mL BMP6 (lane 4), 6 ng/mL BMP6 + 10 nM LDN-212854 (lane 5), 25 ng/mL BMP6 (lane 6), or 25 ng/mL BMP6 + 60 nM LDN-212854 (lane 7). Lower panel: 25 ng/mL BMP6 significantly increased pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio ( P < 0.0001), but 60 nM LDN-212854 significantly reversed this effect ( P < 0.0001); 5 ng/mL TGF-β did not change pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio. ( B ) Effect of LDN-212854 on pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio. Upper panel: representative WB of pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio after HSG cells were cultured with different reagents as labeled (see legend A). Lower panel: 5 ng/mL TGF-β increased pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio and 60 nM LDN-212854 did not change this effect; BMP6 with/without LDN-212854 did not alter pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio. ( C ) Effect of LDN-193189 on pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio. Upper panel: representative WB of pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio after HSG cells were cultured with different reagents as labeled (see legend A). Lower panel: 25 ng/mL BMP6 significantly increased pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio ( P < 0.0001), but 60 nM LDN-193189 significantly reversed this effect ( P = 0.0004); 5 ng/mL TGF-β did not change pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio. ( D ) Effect of LDN-193189 on pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio. Upper panel: representative WB of pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio after HSG cells were cultured with different reagents as labeled (see legend A). Lower panel: 5 ng/mL TGF-β significantly increased pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio ( P = 0.0113), but 60 nM LDN-193189 did not change this effect; BMP6 with/without LDN-212193 did not alter pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio. Data shown are means ± SEM from N = 5 (A&C) or N = 2 experiments (B&D). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison was used to compare the seven groups; * P ≤ 0.05, ** P ≤ 0.01 and *** P ≤ 0.0001 when compared with control group.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of ALK2/3 inhibitors on increased phosphorylated SMAD1/5/8 and SMAD2/3 expression induced by BMP6 and TGF-β in HSG cells. Phosphorylated SMAD1/5/8 (pSMAD1/5/8), pSMAD2/3, SMAD1/5/8, SMAD2 and β-actin (internal control) expression in HSG cells subjected to bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6) or transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) with/without LDN treatment, as measured by Western blot (WB). To determine expression level, fold change of protein expression relative to control cell lysate (HSG cells treated with culture media and diluent for each BMP signaling inhibitor and diluent for LDN only) was used. ( A ) Effect of LDN-212854 on pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio. Upper panel: representative WB of pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio after HSG cells were cultured with 5 ng/mL TGF-β + 60 nM LDN-212854 (lane 1), 5 ng/mL TGF-β (lane 2), control medium (lane 3), 6 ng/mL BMP6 (lane 4), 6 ng/mL BMP6 + 10 nM LDN-212854 (lane 5), 25 ng/mL BMP6 (lane 6), or 25 ng/mL BMP6 + 60 nM LDN-212854 (lane 7). Lower panel: 25 ng/mL BMP6 significantly increased pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio ( P < 0.0001), but 60 nM LDN-212854 significantly reversed this effect ( P < 0.0001); 5 ng/mL TGF-β did not change pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio. ( B ) Effect of LDN-212854 on pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio. Upper panel: representative WB of pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio after HSG cells were cultured with different reagents as labeled (see legend A). Lower panel: 5 ng/mL TGF-β increased pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio and 60 nM LDN-212854 did not change this effect; BMP6 with/without LDN-212854 did not alter pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio. ( C ) Effect of LDN-193189 on pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio. Upper panel: representative WB of pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio after HSG cells were cultured with different reagents as labeled (see legend A). Lower panel: 25 ng/mL BMP6 significantly increased pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio ( P < 0.0001), but 60 nM LDN-193189 significantly reversed this effect ( P = 0.0004); 5 ng/mL TGF-β did not change pSMAD1/5/8:SMAD1/5/8 ratio. ( D ) Effect of LDN-193189 on pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio. Upper panel: representative WB of pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio after HSG cells were cultured with different reagents as labeled (see legend A). Lower panel: 5 ng/mL TGF-β significantly increased pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio ( P = 0.0113), but 60 nM LDN-193189 did not change this effect; BMP6 with/without LDN-212193 did not alter pSMAD2/3:SMAD2 ratio. Data shown are means ± SEM from N = 5 (A&C) or N = 2 experiments (B&D). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison was used to compare the seven groups; * P ≤ 0.05, ** P ≤ 0.01 and *** P ≤ 0.0001 when compared with control group.

    Effect of ALK2/3 inhibitors on regulatory volume decrease in HSG cells. HSG cells were placed in hypotonic solution in absence (black column) or presence of 6 ng/mL bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6) (gray column), 6 ng/mL BMP6 + 0.1, 1.0 or 10 nM LDN-212854 (red columns), or 6 ng/mL BMP6 + 0.1, 1.0 or 10 nM LDN-193189 (blue columns). BMP6 significantly inhibited recovery of cell volume change (as indicated by reduced regulatory volume decrease [RVD%]), but LDN treatment reversed this effect in a dose-dependent manner. Data shown are means ± SEM from N = 3 experiments. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison was used for comparison; * P ≤ 0.05, ** P ≤ 0.01 and *** P ≤ 0.0001 when compared with control BMP6-treated group (column 2).

    Saliva secretion in BMP6-overexpressing C57BL/6J mice and C57BL/6.NOD- Aec1Aec2 mice after ALK2/3 inhibitor treatment. ( A ) Submandibular glands (SMGs) of female C57BL/6J mice were cannulated and AAV5 vector encoding bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6) was instilled to promote local BMP6 expression. Twenty-four months post-cannulation, mice were treated with citrate saline or 2.5 mg/kg LDN-193189 administered i.p. twice daily for 3 days. LDN-193189–treated mice showed a significant increase of salivary flow rate (SFR) compared with saline-treated mice. Data shown are means ± SEM and were analyzed with unpaired Student’s t test. ( B ) Male (M) and female (F) C57BL/6.NOD- Aec1Aec2 mice with established disease were treated daily with PBS (black columns, N = 13, 7M6F), 2.5 mg/kg LDN-212854 (red columns, N = 13, 6M7F), or 2.5 mg/kg LDN-193189 (blue columns, N = 14, 8M6F) for 24 days. SFR was determined in all mice prior to LDN treatment (day 0, baseline), and on day 3, 10, 17 and 24 thereafter. SFR significantly increased in LDN-treated mice compared with PBS-treated mice (control group) from day 10 to 24. Data shown are means ± SEM. Unpaired Student’s t test was used to compare two groups. * P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01 compared with baseline, # P < 0.05 compared with PBS-treated group at same time point.
