Fibroblast 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 کاملRegulation of Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 Expression and Cell Cycle Progression by an Endogenous Antisense RNA
Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) is a potent wide-spectrum mitogen whose overexpression is associated with immortalization and unregulated cell proliferation in many tumors. The FGF2 gene locus is bi-directionally transcribed to produce FGF2 mRNA from the "sense" strand and a cis-antisense RNA (NUDT6) from the NUDT6 gene on the "antisense" strand. The NUDT6 gene encodes a nudix motif prote...
متن کاملcrouzon syndrome: a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene mutation
crouzon syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant premature cranyosynostosis, caused by fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene mutation on chromosome 10. the predominant skull and facial malformations with potential compromise airway make the crouzon syndrome a demanding issue for anesthesiologists and surgeons, required dynamic team work. in this report we describe a child, a known case of crouz...
متن کاملFGFR2 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 2)
FGFR2 gene, consisting of at least 21 exons, encodes multiple isoforms due to alternative splicing. FGFR2b and FGFR2c with extracellular three Ig-like domains, transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain, are representative FGFR2 isoforms almost identical except the latter half of the third Ig-like domain. Exon 9 and 10, corresponding to the latter half of the third Ig-like doma...
متن کاملIn vivo angiogenic activity of urokinase: role of endogenous fibroblast growth factor-2.
In vitro experimental evidences suggest that the proteolytic degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) by activation of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA)/plasmin system may affect growth factor activity and bioavailability. However, no direct in vivo observations were available to support this hypothesis. Here we demonstrate that endothelial GM 7373 cells overexpressing human u...
