Biological context of FOP

 

Anatomical context of FOP

  • These findings document mobilization and activation of inflammatory mast cells in the pathology of FOP lesions and provide a novel and previously unrecognized target for pharmacologic intervention in this extremely disabling disease [1].
  • Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein are uniquely overexpressed in lymphocytes and lesional cells from patients who have fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva [2].
  • RESULTS: In the absence of exogenous BMP-4 stimulation (basal state), steady-state levels of all of the BMP antagonists that were investigated were similar in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva and control cell lines [2].
  • In the FOP patient group, characteristic anomalies, including large posterior elements, tall narrow vertebral bodies,and fusion of the facet joints between C2 and C7, were observed [4].
  • Given this, it has been suggested that allogenic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) possibly could be a cure for FOP, and drawn attention to a previously unappreciated case of an FOP patient who had successful BMT for aplastic anemia with apparent short- and medium-term arresting of the FOP disease process [13].
 

Associations of FOP with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of FOP

 

Other interactions of FOP

  • We conclude that mutations in the coding region of noggin are not associated with FOP [11].
  • Bone morphogenetic proteins are potent bone-inducing morphogens that participate in the developmental organization of the skeleton, and increased production of one or more of these proteins has been proposed as the cause of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva [7].
  • FOP lymphocytes exhibit defects in the BMP-p38 MAPK pathway, suggesting that altered BMP signaling underlies ectopic bone formation in this disease [20].
  • MSX2, a known Smad pathway target gene, is not upregulated in control or FOP cells in response to BMP, suggesting that lymphocytes do not use this limb of the BMP pathway [20].
  • The FOP phenotype is linked to markers located in the 17q21-22 region (LOD score of 3.41 at the recombination fraction theta = 0) [21].
