Age-associated increase in BMP signaling inhibits hippocampal neurogenesis.
Abstract
Hippocampal neurogenesis, the product of resident neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation, persists into adulthood but decreases with organismal aging, which may contribute to the age-related decline in cognitive function. The mechanisms that underlie this decrease in neurogenesis are not well understood, although evidence in general indicates that extrinsic changes in an aged stem cell niche can contribute to functional decline in old stem cells. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family members are intercellular signaling proteins that regulate stem and progenitor cell quiescence, proliferation, and differentiation in various tissues and are likewise critical regulators of neurogenesis in young adults. Here, we establish that BMP signaling increases significantly in old murine hippocampi and inhibits neural progenitor cell proliferation. Furthermore, direct in vivo attenuation of BMP signaling via genetic and transgenic perturbations in aged mice led to elevated neural stem cell proliferation, and subsequent neurogenesis, in old hippocampi. Such advances in our understanding of mechanisms underlying decreased hippocampal neurogenesis with age may offer targets for the treatment of age-related cognitive decline.

Attenuation of TGF-beta signaling in old animals has effects similar to those of NBE.
“and the fact that attenuation of TGF-beta signaling in old animals has effects that are similar to those of NBE [7, 14, 15, 28, 44].”
From Rejuvenation of three germ layers tissues by exchanging old blood plasma with saline-albumin (2020) · cites this paper as [28]
The Results section reports that attenuating BMP signaling in aged mice increased hippocampal neural stem-cell proliferation and neurogenesis. The paper identifies this as BMP/pSmad1 signaling, however, and does not compare its effects with NBE or establish the claimed effect for TGF-beta signaling more broadly. No page numbers are available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredLevels of BMP2, 4, 6, and 7 expression increase in the hippocampus and SVZ with age.
“Levels of BMP2, 4, 6, and 7 expression have been found to increase in the hippocampus and SVZ with age (Yousef et al., 2015; Apostolopoulou et al., 2017).”
From Inhibiting USP16 rescues stem cell aging and memory in an Alzheimer’s model (2022) · cites this paper as Yousef et al., 2015
The Results section (‘BMP signaling increases in the aged murine hippocampus’; page unavailable) reports increased Bmp2, Bmp4, and Bmp6 expression in aged mouse hippocampi. It does not report an age-related increase in BMP7 or establish the claimed increases in the SVZ. (LLM, conf=0.90)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
