Effects of fibroblast growth factor-2 on longitudinal bone growth.
In vivo, fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) inhibits longitudinal bone growth. Similarly, activating FGF receptor 3 mutations impair growth in achondroplasia and thanatophoric dysplasia. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, we chose a fetal rat metatarsal organ culture system that would maintain growth plate histological architecture. Addition of FGF-2 to the serum-free medium inhibited lo...
متن کاملSynergistic effects of fibroblast growth factor-2 and bone morphogenetic protein-2 on bone induction
The present study investigated the synergistic effect of co‑administering fibroblast growth factor‑2 (FGF‑2) and bone morphogenetic protein‑2 (BMP‑2) on osteoblastic differentiation in C2C12 cells and in rats. C2C12 murine myoblast cells represent a well‑accepted in vitro model system to study the ability of BMP‑2 to alter cell lineage from the myogenic to the osteogenic phenotype. The osteobla...
متن کاملFibroblast Growth Factor-1 vs. Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 in Ischemic Skin Flap Survival in a Rat Animal Model
BACKGROUND One of the main challenges in skin flap surgery is tissue ischemia and following necrosis. The present study compares the effects of fibroblast growth factors 1 and 2 on increasing cutaneous vasculature, improving ischemia, and preventing distal necrosis in ischemic skin flaps in rat model. METHODS Thirty rats were allocated into 3 groups (n=10) and 2×8 cm dorsal rando...
متن کاملFGFR2 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 2)
FGFR2 gene, consisting of at least 21 exons, encodes multiple isoforms due to alternative splicing. FGFR2b and FGFR2c with extracellular three Ig-like domains, transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain, are representative FGFR2 isoforms almost identical except the latter half of the third Ig-like domain. Exon 9 and 10, corresponding to the latter half of the third Ig-like doma...
متن کاملAction of fibroblast growth factor-2 on the intervertebral disc
INTRODUCTION Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) is a growth factor that is immediately released after cartilage injury and plays a pivotal role in cartilage homeostasis. In human adult articular cartilage, FGF2 mediates anti-anabolic and potentially catabolic effects via the suppression of proteoglycan (PG) production along with the upregulation of matrix-degrading enzyme activity. The aim of th...
