Based on 12 publication(s) in Google Scholar

Noggin is an antagonist of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and a member of the TGF-β superfamily, existing as a homodimer. Noggin binds to BMP-2/-4/-7 and inhibits their binding to BMPR-I/II receptors, thereby synergistically inducing bone differentiation in HMSCs, maintaining pluripotency in hESCs, inhibiting angiogenesis in HUVECs, and promoting myelination in oligodendrocytes, exerting neural activity. Noggin Protein, Human (CHO) is a recombinant human Noggin protein expressed in CHO cells with tag-free.

Description

Noggin is an antagonist of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and a member of the TGF-β superfamily, existing as a homodimer. Noggin binds to BMP-2/-4/-7 and inhibits their binding to BMPR-I/II receptors, thereby synergistically inducing bone differentiation in HMSCs, maintaining pluripotency in hESCs, inhibiting angiogenesis in HUVECs, and promoting myelination in oligodendrocytes, exerting neural activity[1][2][3][4]. Noggin Protein, Human (CHO) is a recombinant human Noggin protein expressed in CHO cells with tag-free.

Background

1. Characteristics of Noggin
Noggin belongs to the TGF-β superfamily antagonist and belongs to the BMP binding protein family together with Chordin and Gremlin. It works through a secretory protein mechanism and is essential for normal bone development[1][5][6]. Noggin is a glycosylated homodimer linked by disulfide bonds and contains a conserved cysteine-knot domain. Noggin can specifically target ligands such as BMP-2, -4, and -7 and inhibit their binding to receptors[3]. It has a high affinity for hBMP-4 and a low affinity for hBMP-4. It is also an antagonist of hBMP-7[5]. Noggin binds to BMPs (such as BMP-2/-4) and blocks their interaction with type I (BMPR-IA/IB) and type II (BMPR-II) serine/threonine kinase receptors, inhibiting Smad1/5/8 phosphorylation and downstream transcription.
Noggin is involved in the regulation of bone differentiation: In human mesenchymal stem cells (HMSCs), Noggin synergizes with T cell inflammatory factor (TTII) or Dexamethasone (HY-14648) to induce alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralization, upregulates BMP-2 and osteocalcin expression, but does not affect Runx2[1].
Noggin is involved in the maintenance of stem cell pluripotency: In human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), it inhibits BMP4-induced differentiation, maintains the expression of pluripotency genes such as Oct4 and Nanog, and promotes cell proliferation[2].
Noggin inhibits angiogenesis: It blocks BMP-4 signaling in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), inhibits cell migration, tube formation and angiogenesis, and downregulates BMP-4 mRNA levels[3].
Noggin promotes nerve myelination: In oligodendrocyte differentiation, it relieves the inhibition of Sox10/Nkx2.2 by BMP, promotes Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) expression and myelination[4].

2. Application of Noggin
Noggin is used in combination with BMP to regulate the balance of osteoblast-osteoclast, which is used for bone defect repair and is suitable for bone tissue engineering[1]. Noggin also maintains the pluripotency of hESC, can optimize the differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells, and is used in the study of myelin disease models such as multiple sclerosis[2]. Noggin also has anti-cancer activity by inhibiting endothelial cell migration and preventing tumor angiogenesis. Pretreatment of oligodendrocyte precursor cells with Noggin can enhance their myelination in BMP-deficient shiverer mice[4].

Verified Bioactivity

1.ED50 < 2.5 ng/mL, measured in a bioassay using ATDC5 cells in the presence of 10 ng/mL human BMP-4.
2.Measured by its ability to inhibit BMP-4-induced alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC5 mouse chondrogenic cells. The ED50 for this effect is ≤43.8 ng/mL in the presence of 50 ng/mL of Recombinant Human BMP-4 (HY-P7007).
