Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. Receptor expressions of ALK2, ALK4, ALK6, ALK5, ALK7, BMPR-II in pASC. Grouped representation of the respective receptor expression in the course of osteogenic differentiation (OM +/−BMP-2). From day 19, there is a significant induction of ALK 2, ALK 6, and ALK 5 with the addition of BMP-2. BMPR-II expression in the OM group decreased in OM and tended to stay increased under BMP-2 supplementation from day 19, but was not considered significant (* p ≤0.05, ** p ≤0.01; n = 6, BMP-2 450 ng/mL).

Article Snippet: The respective conjugated antibodies were used for the expressions of ALK3 (Cat. No.: AF436), ALK 5 (Cat. No.: FAB5871), ALK6 (Cat. No.: FAB5051A), TGF-β2-RII (Cat. No.: FAB532P), ALK7 (Cat. No.: FAB77491A), ALK2 (Cat. No.: AF637), ALK4 (Cat. No.: MAB2221), and BMPR-II (Cat. No.: AF811) (by R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), and the pASCs and pBMSCs were compared for their expressions of the specific surface antigens CD45 (Cat. No.: MCA1568GA, BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA), HLA-DR (human leukocyte antigen–antigen D-related surface molecule) (Cat. No.: MCA2314F, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), CD29 (Cat. No.: 561,496, BD Pharmingen, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), CD79alpha (Bio-Rad, Cat. No.: MCA2538GA), CD14 (Cat. No.: MCA1568GA, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), CD31 (Cat. No.: AF3387, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), CD105 (Cat. No.: NB110-58718APC, Novus Biologicals, Minneapolis, MN, USA), CD26 (, Cat. No.: NB600-552APC, Novus Biologicals, Minneapolis, MN, USA), CD73 (, Cat. No.: AF4488, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), CD90 (Cat. No.: 559,869, BD Pharmingen, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), CD34 (Cat. No.: 81289, abcam, Cambridge, UK), and CD44 (Cat. No.: 5531, BD Pharmingen, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA).

Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 4 The processed BMP-10 CPLX binds robustly to BMP receptors whereas the unprocessed dimer shows no receptor interaction. Sensorgrams of SPR interaction studies of soluble BMP-10 GF, processed BMP-10 CPLX, and unprocessed BMP-10 dimer flowed over immobilized BMP receptors. Soluble analytes were injected onto immobilized BMPRII, ALK-1, and ENG at concentrations ranging from 0 to 80 nM. KDs were calculated from three independent experiments (N = 3).

Article Snippet: To assess the binding affinity of BMP- 10 processing variants to BMP receptors, the human IgG1- Fc- fusion ectodomains of BMPRII (#811- BR- 100/CF, R&D Systems), ALK- 1 (#370- AL- 100/CF, R&D Systems) as well as ENG (#1097- EN- 025/CF, R&D Systems) were immobilized at 500 or 800 RUs on a CM5 chip via amine coupling.
