Fibroblast 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 کاملIsolation of peptides that inhibit binding of basic fibroblast growth factor to its receptor from a random phage-epitope library.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is known to bind to its cell-surface receptors with high affinity and in a heparin-dependent manner. In an attempt to predict the receptor recognition site on bFGF we screened phage-epitope libraries with monoclonal antibodies DG2 and DE6, which inhibit bFGF binding to its receptor. On the affinity-isolated phages, we identified several peptide sequences as...
متن کاملcrouzon syndrome: a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene mutation
crouzon syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant premature cranyosynostosis, caused by fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene mutation on chromosome 10. the predominant skull and facial malformations with potential compromise airway make the crouzon syndrome a demanding issue for anesthesiologists and surgeons, required dynamic team work. in this report we describe a child, a known case of crouz...
متن کاملAnalysis of high-affinity binding determinants in the receptor binding epitope of basic fibroblast growth factor.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is implicated in the pathogenesis of several vascular and connective diseases. A key step in the discovery of bFGF receptor antagonists to mitigate these actions is to define the functional epitope required for receptor binding of the growth factor. In previous studies, we identified Glu96 as an essential residue in this epitope using site-directed mutagene...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factor receptor-1 and neonatal compensatory lung growth after exposure to 95% oxygen.
Neonatal rats exposed to 95% oxygen (O2) for 7 days from birth had inhibited lung growth, DNA synthesis, and secondary septation. These parameters were rapidly restored by a period of recovery in air. Northern and Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry were used to screen for the fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGF-R1) and its high affinity ligand, basic fibroblast growth factor (b...
