Gremlin-1 activators play a pivotal role in modulating the expression and activity of gremlin-1, a secreted antagonist of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) with diverse roles in development and disease. Lithium chloride, a direct activator, inhibits GSK-3β, leading to the stabilization of β-catenin. This stabilized β-catenin translocates to the nucleus, promoting gremlin-1 transcription and subsequent activation. TGF-β1, while not a direct activator, induces gremlin-1 activation through canonical TGF-β signaling. TGF-β1 binding to its receptor triggers SMAD2/3 phosphorylation, initiating gremlin-1 transcription. Niclosamide, an indirect activator, modulates Wnt/β-catenin signaling by inhibiting it, preventing gremlin-1 degradation and promoting its stability. SB431542 activates gremlin-1 by inhibiting the TGF-β receptor ALK5, preventing gremlin-1 degradation and enhancing its stability. LY294002 activates gremlin-1 through PI3K/AKT signaling, boosting gremlin-1 transcription and translation. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) activates gremlin-1 by modulating reactive oxygen species (ROS), stabilizing gremlin-1 and preventing its degradation.
Dorsomorphin, an indirect activator, inhibits BMP receptors, preventing gremlin-1 degradation and leading to its stabilization. Curcumin activates gremlin-1 by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway, enhancing gremlin-1 transcription and promoting activation. SB203580 activates gremlin-1 by inhibiting p38 MAPK, preventing its degradation and stabilizing the protein. U0126 activates gremlin-1 through MEK/ERK signaling, boosting gremlin-1 transcription and translation. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) activates gremlin-1 by modulating the EP4 receptor, enhancing gremlin-1 transcription. Thalidomide, while infamous for its historical context, activates gremlin-1 through TNF-α inhibition, preventing gremlin-1 degradation and promoting stability. Collectively, gremlin-1 activators showcase a diverse array of chemicals that modulate various signaling pathways, highlighting the intricate regulatory network that influences gremlin-1 expression and activity in various cellular contexts. Understanding the nuanced interactions between these activators and gremlin-1 provides insights into the dynamic regulation of BMP signaling and its implications in both development and pathological conditions.
