BMPs are important cytokines belonging to the Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-β superfamily. BMP2 is highly overexpressed in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and correlates with tumor stage and metastatic burden. BMP-2 level from patients with bone metastasis is significantly higher compared to patients without bone metastasis.
BMPs display significantly higher expression in tumors, which have been used as new biomarkers for the prognosis of cancer patients.
However, some data revealed an opposite role of BMP signaling in tumors. BMP-10 was downregulated in gastric cancer samples. BMP-6 expression was also absent in breast cancer tissues and might suppress breast cancer metastasis.
