Therapeutic effects of rectal administration of basic fibroblast growth factor on experimental murine colitis.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a promising therapeutic agent for various diseases. It remains unclear, however, whether bFGF is effective for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of bFGF on 2 experimental murine colitis models and to investigate its molecular mechanisms. METHODS We evaluated the effects of h...
متن کاملEffect of Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor on Achilles Tendon Healing in Rabbit
BACKGROUND Tendon injuries are common and it takes a long time for an injured tendon to heal. Adverse phenomena such as adhesion and rupture are associated with these injuries. Finding a method to reduce the time required for healing whichimproves the final outcome, will lead to decreased frequency and intensity of adverse consequences. This study was designed to investigate the effects ...
متن کاملEffects of basic fibroblast growth factor on experimental diabetic neuropathy in rats.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) stimulates angiogenesis and induces neural cell regeneration. We investigated the effects of bFGF on diabetic neuropathy in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Diabetic rats were treated with human recombinant bFGF as follows: 1) intravenous administration, 2) intramuscular injection into thigh and soleus muscles with cross-linked gelatin hydrogel (CGH), ...
متن کاملIntrarectal administration of milk fat globule epidermal growth factor-8 protein ameliorates murine experimental colitis.
Milk fat globule epidermal growth factor-8 (MFG-E8) promotes phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells to maintain normal tissue homeostasis. However, its functions in intestinal inflammatory disorders are unknown. Since the pathogenesis of those disorders are due to abnormal interactions between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and microbial pathogens, we analyzed the effects of MFG-E8 on IECs...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of basic fibroblast growth factor effect on healing of ulcerative colitis in rats.
We demonstrated previously that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) accelerated the healing of experimental duodenal ulcers, and we now hypothesize that bFGF might also accelerate the healing of experimental ulcerative colitis (UC). We also explored the potential molecular mechanisms involved in the accelerated healing of UC in rats treated with bFGF. The results demonstrated that colonic les...
