| 1 | Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling in development and human diseases显示文摘Bone Morphogenetic Proteins(BMPs)are a group of signaling molecules that belongs to the Transforming Growth Factor-b(TGF-b)superfamily of proteins.Initially discovered for their ability to induce bone formation,BMPs are now known to play crucial roles in all organ systems.BMPs are important in embryogenesis and development,and also in maintenance of adult tissue homeostasis.Mouse knockout models of various components of the BMP signaling pathway result in embryonic lethality or marked defects,highlighting the essential functions of BMPs.In this review,we first outline the basic aspects of BMP signaling and then focus on genetically manipulated mouse knockout models that have helped elucidate the role of BMPs in development.A significant portion of this review is devoted to the prominent human pathologies associated with dysregulated BMP signaling. | Richard N.Wang Jordan Green Zhongliang Wang Youlin Deng Min Qiao Michael Peabody Qian Zhang Jixing Ye Zhengjian Yan Sahitya Denduluri Olumuyiwa Idowu Melissa Li Christine Shen Alan Hu Rex C.Haydon Richard Kang James Mok Michael J.Lee Hue L.Luu Lewis L.Shi | 2014 | Genes & Diseases2014，1，1： | 47 |
| 2 | The versatile functions of Sox9 in development,stem cells,and human diseases显示文摘The transcription factor Sox9 was first discovered in patients with campomelic dysplasia,a haploinsufficiency disorder with skeletal deformities caused by dysregulation of Sox9 expression during chondrogenesis.Since then,its role as a cell fate determiner during embryonic development has been well characterized;Sox9 expression differentiates cells derived from all three germ layers into a large variety of specialized tissues and organs.However,recent data has shown that ectoderm-and endoderm-derived tissues continue to express Sox9 in mature organs and stem cell pools,suggesting its role in cell maintenance and specification during adult life.The versatility of Sox9 may be explained by a combination of posttranscriptional modifications,binding partners,and the tissue type in which it is expressed.Considering its importance during both development and adult life,it follows that dysregulation of Sox9 has been implicated in various congenital and acquired diseases,including fibrosis and cancer.This review provides a summary of the various roles of Sox9 in cell fate specification,stem cell biology,and related human diseases.Ultimately,understanding the mechanisms that regulate Sox9 will be crucial for developing effective therapies to treat disease caused by stem cell dysregulation or even reverse organ damage. | Alice Jo Sahitya Denduluri Bosi Zhang Zhongliang Wang Liangjun Yin Zhengjian Yan Richard Kang Lewis L.Shi James Mok Michael J.Lee Rex C.Haydon | 2014 | Genes & Diseases2014，1，2： | 16 |
| 3 | Molecular pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies of human osteosarcoma显示文摘Osteosarcoma(OS)is a devastating illness with rapid rates of dissemination and a poor overall prognosis,despite aggressive standard-of-care surgical techniques and combination chemotherapy regimens.Identifying the molecular mechanisms involved in disease pathogenesis and progression may offer insight into new therapeutic targets.Defects in mesenchymal stem cell differentiation,abnormal expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressors,and dysregulation within various important signaling pathways have all been implicated in development of various disease phenotypes.As such,a variety of basic science and translational studies have shown promise in identifying novel markers and modulators of these disease-specific aberrancies.Born out of these and similar investigations,a variety of emerging therapies are now undergoing various phases of OS clinical testing.They broadly include angiogenesis inhibitors,drugs that act on the bone microenvironment,receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors,immune system modulators,and other radio-or chemo-sensitizing agents.As new forms of drug delivery are being developed simultaneously,the possibility of targeting tumors locally while minimizing systemic toxicityis is seemingly more achievable now than ever.In this review,we not only summarize our current understanding of OS disease processes,but also shed light on the multitude of potential therapeutic strategies the scientific community can use to make long-term improvements in patient prognosis. | Sahitya K Denduluri Zhongliang Wang Zhengjian Yan Jing Wang Qiang Wei Maryam K Mohammed Rex C Haydon Hue H Luu Tong-Chuan He | 2016 | The Journal of Biomedical Research2016，30，1： | 1 |
| 4 | Wnt versus Hippo:A balanced act or dynamic duo?显示文摘The Hippo signaling pathway was first discovered in Drosophila as a conserved regulator of organ size.Genetic inactivation in mice demonstrates that the Hippo pathway functions as a fundamental inhibitor of organ growth during development,and as a critical tumor suppressor in epithelial tissues. | Zhongliang Wang Jixing Ye Youlin Deng Zhengjian Yan Sahitya Denduluri Tong-Chuan He | 2014 | Genes & Diseases2014，1，2： | 1 |
