Background:

The bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a family of secreted signaling molecules that can induce ectopic bone growth. Many BMPs are part of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB) superfamily. BMPs were originally identified by an ability of demineralized bone extract to induce endochondral osteogenesis in vivo in an extraskeletal site.BMP7, also known as osteogenic protein-1 or OP-1, plays a key role in the transformation of mesenchymal cells into bone and cartilage. BMP7 may be involved in bone homeostasis. It is expressed in the brain, kidneys and bladder. BMP7 is also present in cancers, including breast, prostate, and colon cancers, in which it is implicated in regulating cancer cell proliferation . Overexpression of BMP7 mRNA in colorectal cancer patients was significantly associated with poor prognosis and low overall survival. Recent studies suggest that high-expression level of BMP7 serves as a biomarker for poor prognosis for HCC.
