Localization of fibroblast growth factor-2 (basic FGF) and FGF receptor-1 in adult human kidney.
BACKGROUND The expression pattern of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2; basic FGF), a pleiotrophic growth factor, as well as one of its receptors (FGFR1), in the kidney is highly controversial. METHODS Using an approach that combines multiple antibodies for immunohistochemistry and correlative in situ hybridization, we assessed the intrarenal expression of both FGF-2 and FGFR1 in 13 specimens...
متن کاملPlatelet factor 4 modulates fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) activity and inhibits FGF-2 dimerization.
Platelet factor 4 (PF-4) inhibits angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. The mechanism of inhibition is poorly understood. We have investigated the mechanism of inhibition by examining the interaction of PF-4 and the fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2)/fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) system. PF-4 inhibited the binding of FGF-2 to high-affinity and low-affinity binding sites in murine microv...
متن کاملRegulation of FGF-1 mitogenic activity by heparan sulfate oligosaccharides is dependent on specific structural features: differential requirements for the modulation of FGF-1 and FGF-2.
The interaction of heparan sulfate (HS) (and the closely related molecule heparin) with FGF-1 is a requirement for enabling the growth factor to activate its cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor. However, little is known about the regulatory role of naturally occurring cell surface HS in FGF-1 activation. We have addressed this issue by utilizing a library of HS oligosaccharides, which are def...
متن کاملClinical significance of FGF-23 in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is a potent regulator of serum phosphate level. In CKD, circulating FGF-23 levels gradually increase with declining renal function. Higher FGF-23 level was associated with higher atherosclerosis score. We aimed to study the correlation between FGF-23 and the parameters that have effects on morbidity and mortality in CKD patients and to establish its role as ...
متن کاملPeriodontal regeneration and FGF-2
Periodontal diseases are highly prevalent inflammatory diseases that lead to a destruction of tooth-supporting tissues, such as the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and cementum, and ultimately result in tooth loss. Conventional treatment for periodontal diseases is the mechanical removal of the periodontal biofilm, which although effective in reducing inflammation in lesion sites, dose not ...
