Basic fibroblast growth factor stimulates corneal endothelial cell growth and endothelial wound healing of human corneas.
PURPOSE To determine the dose response of human recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on mitogenic activity, and the supplementary role of serum in cultured bovine and human corneal endothelial cells (BCECs, HCECs). To investigate the effect of bFGF on endothelial wound healing of human corneas in vitro. METHODS In cell culture, DNA synthesis was assessed by 3H-thymidine incorpora...
متن کاملComplete sequence of a human receptor for acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors.
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are potent mitogens for several cell types, including endothelial cells. cDNA clones encoding receptors for members of the FGFs family have recently been reported (1, 2, 3). However, only a partial sequence has been published so far encoding a human receptor for acidic and basic FGF (4, 5), which was named flg. Using oligonucleotide probes derived from the flg s...
متن کاملBasic and acidic fibroblast growth factors have trophic effects on neurons from multiple CNS regions.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) supports the survival of neurons from many regions of the E18 fetal rat brain. Survival was significantly increased for neurons derived from the hippocampus, entorhinal cortex (EC), frontal cortex, parietal cortex (PC), occipital cortex, striatum, septum, and thalamus, but not from the subiculum (Sb). The proportion of neurons rescued by bFGF varied among b...
متن کاملPurification and partial characterization of an acidic fibroblast growth factor from bovine pituitary.
Isoelectric focusing has allowed us to fractionate pituitary extracts into basic (pI 8-9) and acidic (pI 4-5) fibroblast growth factor. The acidic fibroblast growth factor (a) is stable upon refocusing, (b) migrates as an acidic protein in urea-containing gel electrophoresis; (c) is not cell-specific, being active with fibroblasts, adrenal, and glial cells, and (d) is a heterogeneous protein fr...
متن کاملHuman carcinoid cell production of paracrine growth factors that can stimulate fibroblast and endothelial cell growth.
A serotonin-secreting human pancreatic carcinoid cell line (BON) is demonstrated to express transcripts for all three mammalian types of transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta 1, 2, and 3). Similarly, freshly excised carcinoid tumors from six patients were also found to express mRNA for all three of the type-beta TGFs. Medium conditioned by BON cells had detectable TGF beta activity, althoug...
