چکیده

Source and Description of Primers. The forward primer was developed from a human fibroblast growth factor ( FGF7) cDNA sequence (GenBank accession no. L06243), and the reverse primer was a published primer (Kelley et al., 1992). These primers were used to amplify a 1.3-kb fragment from porcine genomic DNA. This fragment included regions corresponding to exon 2, exon 3, and the intron flanked by these two exons. Sequences were obtained from both ends of the PCR fragment and compared with a human sequence showing 95.9% identity at the amino acid level in a 73-amino acid overlap. Sequences produced in this experiment have been submitted to GenBank (accession no. AF052657).

Rapid communication: linkage and physical mapping of the porcine basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) gene.

Genus and species. Sus scrofa. Locus. Pig Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2) gene. Source and Description of Primers. Primers were designed from human sequence (GenBank accession no. J04513.1) to amplify a 167-bp fragment within exon 1 of FGF2 from pig genomic DNA. This fragment was identified as FGF2 with 93% homology to the human FGF2 sequence.

Fibroblast growth factor 7 is a nociceptive modulator secreted via large dense-core vesicles.

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 7, a member of FGF family, is initially found to be secreted from mesenchymal cells to repair epithelial tissues. However, its functions in the nervous system are largely unknown. The present study showed that FGF7 was a neuromodulator localized in the large dense-core vesicles (LDCVs) in nociceptive neurons. FGF7 was mainly expressed in small-diameter neurons of ...

Expression and function of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 7 during liver regeneration.

BACKGROUND/AIM Previous studies have shown that fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are involved in the process of liver injury repair. Liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PH) is impaired in transgenic mice expressing dominant-negative FGFR2b in hepatocytes. Although FGF7, a ligand specifically bound to FGFR2b, is expressed by activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in fibrotic livers, t...

Fibroblast growth factors 7 and 10 are involved in ameloblastoma proliferation via the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway

Ameloblastoma is an epithelial benign tumor of the odontogenic apparatus and its growth mechanisms are not well understood. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 3, FGF7 and FGF10, which are expressed by the neural crest-derived ectomesenchymal cells, induce the proliferation of odontogenic epithelial cells during tooth development. Therefore, we examined the expression and function of these FGFs in a...

Addition of Thirteen Genes to the Porcine Comparative Gene Map Reveals New Regions of Conserved Synteny

Thirteen genes were mapped to the porcine genome by using either linkage mapping of the PiGMaP families (eight genes) or typing of a porcine somatic cell hybrid panel (12 genes). The genes were chosen from interesting locations in the human genome. The physical gene assignments to pig chromosomes (SSC) with corresponding human chromosome (HSA) locations include the following: FGF7 (HSA15), MADH...
