Basic 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...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor increases tissue factor expression in circulating monocytes and in vascular wall.
BACKGROUND Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) promotes vascular repair and angiogenesis and can induce in vitro tissue factor (TF), a potent agent initiating thrombogenesis, which probably plays a role in angiogenesis. We investigated whether bFGF administration induced TF expression by monocytes and vascular cells. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied TF expression in normally fed (n=16) and ch...
متن کاملExpression of basic fibroblast growth factor in nasal polyps.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a polypeptide that is mitogenic for a wide variety of cell types. We used Northern blot analysis and immunohistochemistry to determine if bFGF is expressed in the nasal polyp tissue; bFGF messenger RNA was detectable in the polyps examined by Northern blot analysis. Strong immunostaining for bFGF was found in blood vessels and along the basement membrane...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor expression precedes flow-induced arterial enlargement.
Arteries enlarge in response to increased blood flow, but the molecular signals controlling this enlargement are not well understood. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a potent mitogen for endothelial cells (EC) and smooth muscle cells (SMC) and promotes cellular proliferation and differentiation. In order to determine whether bFGF is expressed in response to increased blood flow in vivo...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor as a selective inducer of matrix Gla protein gene expression in proliferative chondrocytes.
Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a member of the vitamin K-dependent gamma carboxylase protein family expressed in cartilage. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF1) stimulates chondrocyte differentiation, whereas basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) acts in an opposite manner. We explored the differential expression and regulation by IGF1 and FGF2 of the MGP gene during chondrocyte differentiation. We...
