چکیده

We evaluated the effect of a basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and saporin conjugate (bFGF-SAP) on proliferation, migration and tubule formation in bovine choriocapillary endothelial cells (BCECs). Cell proliferation and MTS assays were done with 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 nM bFGF-SAP, and an equimolar concentration of bFGF and saporin. TUNEL assay was performed to confirm apoptosis. Cells were treated with 1, 10, and 100 nM bFGF-SAP and migration assay and tubule formation assay were done. Results were evaluated with image analysis. All experiments were performed in triplicate and repeated three times. Viable cells (ID50 = 0.62) and cell proliferation by MTS assay (ID50 = 0.75 nM) were inhibited. Saporin caused cytotoxicity and inhibition of proliferation at high concentration. DNA fragmentation was identified by TUNEL assay. Migration and tubule formation were also inhibited. All mechanisms responsible for neovascularization were inhibited, and this could be applied in the management of subretinal choroidal neovascularization (SRN).

Competence effect of basic fibroblast growth factor on cell cycle in subcultured endothelial cells of rat aorta by flow cytometry.

With flow cytometry, we investigated the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced competence in subcultured endothelial cells (EC) (4-9-passage) of rat thoracic aorta. The cell population in each phase of the cell cycle was determined by a double staining technique with fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated mouse monoclonal antibody against the proliferation-associated nucleus an...

Antitumor activity of basic fibroblast growth factor-saporin mitotoxin in vitro and in vivo.

Many cancer cell lines express basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors, making them potential targets for the delivery of FGF-based cytotoxic compounds. To this end, we have investigated the antitumor activity of a novel mitotoxin, Fibroblast Growth Factor-saporin (FGF-SAP), a conjugate of FGF and the ribosome-inactivating protein, saporin. In vitro, FGF-SAP is cytotoxic for human melano...

Expression and activities of a recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor-saporin fusion protein.

A fusion protein containing the full-length sequences of the mitogen, basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2), and the ribosome-inactivating protein, saporin (SAP), has been expressed in E. coli. As expected, it binds with high affinity to heparin-Sepharose like FGF-2 and can displace the binding of radiolabeled FGF-2 to its high affinity receptor. In contrast, the fusion protein only has much l...

Cytotoxic effects of FGF2-saporin on bovine epithelial lens cells in vitro.

PURPOSE To test the ability of two preparations of FGF2-saporin, either FGF2 chemically conjugated to saporin (FGF2-SAP) or genetically engineered FGF2-saporin (rFGF2-SAP) to inhibit the growth of bovine epithelial lens (BEL) cells in vitro when in solution and when immobilized on heparin surface-modified (HSM) polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) intraocular lenses (IOLs). METHOD Bovine epithelial ...

Autocrine activities of basic fibroblast growth factor: regulation of endothelial cell movement, plasminogen activator synthesis, and DNA synthesis

We have found that the spontaneous migration of bovine aortic endothelial cells from the edge of a denuded area in a confluent monolayer is dependent upon the release of endogenous basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Cell movement is blocked by purified polyclonal rabbit IgG to bFGF as well as affinity purified anti-bFGF IgG and anti-bFGF F(ab')2 fragments. The inhibitory effect of the immun...
