Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Ameliorates Endothelial Dysfunction in Radiation-Induced Bladder Injury
This study was designed to explore the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on radiation-induced endothelial dysfunction and histological changes in the urinary bladder. bFGF was administrated to human umbilical vein cells (HUVEC) or urinary bladder immediately after radiation. Reduced expression of thrombomodulin (TM) was indicated in the HUVEC and urinary bladder after treatment wi...
متن کاملThe protective efficacy of basic fibroblast growth factor in radiation-induced salivary gland dysfunction in mice.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Radiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for head and neck cancer. However, in addition to the target tumor, normal salivary glands are also included in the irradiation field. This unavoidably results in dry mouth syndrome as a side effect. In this study, the protective efficacy of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was investigated in radiation-damaged sali...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor protects endothelial cells against radiation-induced programmed cell death in vitro and in vivo.
Apoptosis (programmed cell death) serves as a common mechanism of interphase cell death after radiation exposure in thymic, lymphoid, and hematopoietic cells but has infrequently been documented in other adult mammalian cell types. The present study demonstrates that apoptotic interphase cell death occurs in endothelial cells after exposure to clinically relevant radiation doses and that basic ...
متن کاملTwo mechanisms of basic fibroblast growth factor-induced angiogenesis in bladder cancer.
In the urine of patients with bladder cancer, levels of the angiogenio peptide basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) may be elevated 100-fold. To date, levels of expression of bFGF in bladder tumor tissue have not been determined, nor has the cellular source of the urinary bFGF been identified. bFGF mRNA expression was quantified using RNase protection analysis in 32 primary bladder tumors and ...
متن کاملEssential role of junctional adhesion molecule-1 in basic fibroblast growth factor-induced endothelial cell migration.
OBJECTIVE Recently, we have shown that blocking of junctional adhesion molecule-1/A (JAM-1/A) inhibits basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced angiogenesis. Because the process of endothelial cell proliferation is a key initial step of neovascularization, we studied the effect of functional knockdown of JAM-1 on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) adhesion and migration induced ...
