The mouse int-2 gene exhibits basic fibroblast growth factor activity in a basic fibroblast growth factor-responsive cell line.
The int-2 protein is related to basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) by amino acid sequence homology. To assess its biological activity, we constructed retroviral vectors containing four variants of mouse int-2 complementary DNA under the transcriptional control of the beta-actin promoter and tested their effects on human SW13 adrenal cortical tumor cells. This cell line specifically requires ...
متن کاملAutocrine transformation by chimeric signal peptide-basic fibroblast growth factor: reversal by suramin.
NIH 3T3 cells transfected with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) fused to an immunoglobulin signal peptide sequence are transformed in vitro and tumorigenic in vivo. The transformed phenotype of chimeric signal peptide-bFGF (spbFGF) cells is characterized by an enhanced proliferation rate compared to parental NIH 3T3 cells, density- and anchorage-independent growth, a transformed morphology...
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 کاملAstrocyte growth is regulated by neuropeptides through Tis 8 and basic fibroblast growth factor.
The important intracellular mechanisms of astrocyte growth are not well defined. Using an inhibitor of astrocyte proliferation, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), and the glial mitogen endothelin (ET-3), we sought a common pathway for growth regulation in these neural cells. In cultured fetal rat diencephalic astrocytes, ANP selectively and rapidly inhibited the Tis 8 immediate early gene and pr...
متن کاملCombined Effect of Retinoic Acid and Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor on Maturation of Mouse Oocyte and Subsequent Fertilization and Development
Objective Many autocrine and paracrine elements that are produced within follicular niche have been the focus of much in vitro maturation research. The present study was carried out to compare retinoic acid and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) efficacy on IVM of mouse oocytes, and their further dual consumption to reach an optimal protocol. MaterialsAndMethods GV oocytes obtained from two-...
