Molecular characteristics of fibroblast growth factor-fibroblast growth factor receptor-heparin-like glycosaminoglycan complex.
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family plays key roles in development, wound healing, and angiogenesis. Understanding of the molecular nature of interactions of FGFs with their receptors (FGFRs) has been seriously limited by the absence of structural information on FGFR or FGF-FGFR complex. In this study, based on an exhaustive analysis of the primary sequences of the FGF family, we determined t...
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 کاملDesign and characteristics of cytotoxic fibroblast growth factor 1 conjugate for fibroblast growth factor receptor-targeted cancer therapy
Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) are attractive candidate cancer therapy targets as they are overexpressed in multiple types of tumors, such as breast, prostate, bladder, and lung cancer. In this study, a natural ligand of FGFR, an engineered variant of fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1V), was conjugated to a potent cytotoxic drug, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), and used as a targetin...
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 کاملFibroblast Growth Factor
In an effort to elucidate control mechanisms for developmentally programmed cell death, conditions were sought which rescue the cells destined to die. Three areas of mesodermal cell death in the chick wing were examined, the posterior necrotic zone (PNZ) , the opaque patch (OP) and apical mesoderm. The PNZ and OP are areas of normally programmed cell death whereas the apical mesoderm undergoes ...
