BMP10 inhibited the growth and migration of gastric cancer cells

2016 
Bone morphogenetic protein 10 (BMP10), a novel member of BMP family, has been identified as an important regulator for angiogenesis. Dysregulation of BMP has been observed in several cancer types. However, its roles in gastric cancer (GC) remain unknown. In this study, the expression of BMP10 was found to be down-regulated in GC samples. Forced expression of BMP10 in GC cells inhibited its growth and migration, while knocking down the expression of BMP10 in GC cells promoted cell growth, migration, and metastasis. BMP10 was shown to negatively regulated beta-catenin/TCF signaling by up-regulating Axin protein level. Taken together, the present study revealed the suppressive function of BMP10 in gastric cancer.
