Although BMP4 was required to induce expressions of sarcomeric alpha-actinin, titin, and sarcomeric myosin in cultured stage 6 posterolateral mesoderm ( noncardiogenic mesoderm ), smooth muscle alpha-actin was expressed without the addition of BMP4 ... Interestingly, in cultured stage 6 posterolateral mesoderm, BMP2 induced the expressions of sarcomeric alpha-actinin and titin, but not of sarcomeric myosin Jeffery et al., Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 2005

BMP4 induced differentiation of HFL into a smooth muscle cell phenotype since protein expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin and smooth muscle myosin was increased
