Figure 3.

Representative diagram of TGF-β and BMP signaling pathways. Both TGF-β and BMP7 activate SMAD4 and CREB-binding protein, a transcription co-activator of SMAD, leading to the transcription of target genes that influence extracellular matrix composition, apoptosis, and synaptic/cytoskeletal plasticity. BMPR1A = bone morphogenetic protein receptor type IA; CBP = CREB-binding protein; SARA (ZFYVE9) = zinc finger, FYVE domain containing 9; SMAD4 = mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4. Genes up-regulated in schizophrenia are depicted by red arrows.
