MCE 国际站:SMAD4 Protein, Human (His)
SMAD4 是一类共同介体 SMAD (Co-SMAD),属于 dwarfin/SMAD 家族。它通过 SMAD4/TGF-β 通路传导细胞信号,促进对骨骼发育和组织稳态有重要作用。SMAD4 诱导人骨髓间充质干细胞的软骨生成,并特异性靶向干细胞,参与造血干细胞的自身更新。SMAD4 还能够保护细胞凋亡,抑制上皮细胞增殖,显现出抗肿瘤作用。重组人 SMAD4 蛋白 (His) 序列长 552 个氨基酸,由 E.coli 表达,带有 C 端 6*His 标签。

研究背景:SMAD4 belongs to the dwarfin/SMAD family. SMAD is a group of proteins that carry extracellular signals directly to the nucleus. Mammalian SMAD can be divided into three categories: receptor-regulated SMAD (R-SMAD), common-mediated SMAD (Co-SMAD), and inhibitory SMAD (I-SMAD). (1) R-SMAD included SMAD1, SMAD2, SMAD3, SMAD5 and SMAD8/9, among which Smad2/3 mediated signal transduction of TGF-β subfamily members. SMAD1/5/8 mediates signaling from members of the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) subfamily. (2) Co-SMAD includes SMAD4, which is the central mediator of TGF-β and BMP signaling pathways. (3) I-SMAD, including SMAD6 and SMAD7, inhibits receptor-mediated phosphorylation of R-SMAD, thereby preventing the formation of complexes with Co SMAD. SMAD4 plays an important role in cellular signaling of bone development (from chondrocyte precursors to mature osteocytes) and tissue homeostasis. Specifically, TGF-β signals upstream to activate SMAD4 and R-SMAD (i.e. SMAD2/3) to interact and form oligomer complexes that regulate the expression of target genes. However, SMAD3/4 mainly induced chondrogenesis of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Abnormal expression of SMAD4 can inhibit cartilage production in animal models, and even lead to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor induction. SMAD4 also specifically targets stem cells and may be involved in self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells. At the same time, SMAD4 regulates the cell polarity of chondrocytes, affecting the shape, size, migration and orientation of chondrocytes. It also promotes cell migration, adhesion and cytoskeletal tissue generation in different cells through the SMAD4/TGF-β pathway. The SMAD4/TGF-β pathway is also extensively regulated by classical pathways such as MAPK, PI3K/AKT, and WNT/β-catenin to form complex networks. SMAD4 also regulates apoptosis, leading to follicular atresia by inhibiting granulosa cell apoptosis. In colorectal cancer cells, TGF-β induces Smad4-dependent epithelial-mesenchymal transformation, which leads to apoptosis. The protective effect of SMAD4 on apoptosis is also the key to the differentiation and proliferation of chondrocytes. In addition, apoptosis is crucial for differentiation and bone homeostasis, that is, osteoblast apoptosis promotes osteoclast generation and bone resorption, which is an important process of bone homeostasis. SMAD4 also controls gene regulatory networks in early limb buds, and chondrocyte specific Smad4-KO mice exhibit dwarfism and impaired growth plate tissue. SMAD4 protein also inhibited epithelial cell proliferation and decreased angiogenesis and increased vascular permeability, showing antitumor effects.
