Terazosin treatment suppresses basic fibroblast growth factor expression in the rat ventral prostate.
PURPOSE Alpha1-adrenergic receptor antagonists may not act solely on smooth muscle contractility. We evaluated the in vivo effect of the alpha1 blocker, terazosin, on the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in the rat ventral prostate. METHODS Wistar rats were treated with terazosin (1.2 mg/kg body weight, po, every second day) for 120 days. The expression of bFGF was assessed...
متن کاملTerazosin Treatment Induces Caspase-3 Expression in the Rat Ventral Prostate
BACKGROUND Quinazoline-based alpha1-adrenergic receptor antagonists may not act solely on smooth muscle contractility. We evaluated the in vivo effect of terazosin on the expression of caspase-3 in the rat ventral prostate. METHODS Fifteen Wistar rats were treated with terazosin (1.2 mg/kg body weight, given orally every second day) for 120 days. Another 15 control animals received the same a...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor in human prostate cancer cells.
To increase our understanding of the potential role of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in malignant progression of prostate cancer, we determined the production of bFGF, the expression of FGF receptor (flg), and the response to exogenous bFGF in LNCaP, DU 145, and PC 3 cells. We observed that these three prostate cancer cell lines, which differed in their dependence on androgens for growt...
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 کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor increases IFT88 expression in chondrocytes
Intraflagellar transport protein 88 (IFT88) is protein crucial for the assembly and maintenance of primary cilia in chondrocytes. Primary cilia regulate mechanical and chemical signals in chondrocytes; however, the effects of cytokines on IFT88 expression and cilia formation and maintenance remain to be elucidated. Therefore, the role of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on IFT88 expression...
