Acidic fibroblast growth factor and heart development. Role in myocyte proliferation and capillary angiogenesis.
Proliferative growth of the ventricular myocyte (cardiomyocyte) is primarily limited to fetal and early neonatal periods of development. In concert with the neonatal "transition" from proliferative to hypertrophic growth, ventricular remodeling of the nonmyocyte compartment is characterized by increased extracellular matrix synthesis/deposition and capillary angiogenesis. A role for locally gen...
متن کاملActivation of hepatic stem cell compartment in the rat: role of transforming growth factor alpha, hepatocyte growth factor, and acidic fibroblast growth factor in early proliferation.
We have demonstrated previously a pronounced increase in the expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) (Z. Hu, R. P. Evarts, K. Fujio, E. R. Marsden, and S. S. Thorgeirsson, Am. J. Pathol., 142: 1823-1830, 1993), transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) (R. P. Evarts, H. Nakatsukasa, E. R. Marsden, Z. Hu, and S. S. Thorgeirsson, Mol. Carcinog., 5: 25-31, 1992), and acidic fibroblast grow...
متن کاملDistinct role of fibroblast growth factor-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor on tumor growth and angiogenesis.
Tumors express more than a single angiogenic growth factor. To investigate the relative impact of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on tumor growth and neovascularization, we generated tumor cell transfectants differing for VEGF and/or FGF-2 expression. Human endometrial adenocarcinoma HEC-1-B-derived Tet-FGF-2 cells that express FGF-2 under the co...
متن کاملRecombinant human acid fibroblast growth factor accelerates skin wound healing in diabetic rats through promoting fibroblast proliferation and angiogenesis
The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect and mechanism of recombinant human acidic fibroblast growth factor (rhaFGF) on skin wound healing of diabetic rats. SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: control, diabetes and rhaFGF groups. Skin wound tissues of rats in the three groups were respectively arranged on days 3 and 7 after establishment of skin wound of diabetic r...
متن کاملThe role of fibroblast growth factor in early Xenopus development.
In early amphibian development, the mesoderm is formed around the equator of the blastula in response to an inductive signal from the endoderm. A screen of candidate substances showed that a small group of heparin-binding growth factors (HBGFs) were active as mesoderm-inducing agents in vitro. The factors aFGF, bFGF, kFGF and ECDGF all show similar potency and can produce inductions at concentr...
