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 کاملCortisol inhibits hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor expression and induces c-met transcripts in osteoblasts.
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is expressed by osteoblasts and has important effects on repair and bone remodeling. Because glucocorticoids regulate these two functions, we tested the effects of cortisol on the expression of HGF/SF and c-met, the protooncogene encoding the HGF/SF receptor, in cultures of osteoblast-enriched cells from 22-day fetal rat calvariae (Ob cells). Cor...
متن کاملExpression Irrespective of Hypoxia-Mediated Downregulation in Ischemic Limbs Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 Gene Transfer Can Stimulate Hepatocyte Growth Factor
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a potent angiogenic polypeptide that stimulates angiogenesis. Transcriptional regulation of HGF, however, has not been fully defined, with the exception of the hypoxia-mediated downregulation in cultured cells. In the present study, we report that angiogenic growth factors, including HGF, were upregulated in a murine model of critical limb ischemia in vivo, a f...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor, keratinocyte growth factor, their receptors, fibroblast growth factor receptor-2, and the cells of the cornea.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether messenger RNA coding for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), HGF receptor (MET), keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), KGF receptor, and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor-2 were produced in primary cultures of human corneal epithelial, stromal fibroblast, and endothelial cells, as well as ex vivo corneal epithelium, endothelial cells tran...
