The aberrant expression of the mesenchymal variant of FGFR2 in the epithelial context inhibits autophagy [PDF]
Signaling of the epithelial splice variant of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2b) triggers both differentiation and autophagy, while the aberrant expression of the mesenchymal FGFR2c isoform in epithelial cells induces impaired differentiation ...

Cholesterol: Enhancing FGF2 translocation in unconventional secretion
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) is a potent mitogen that is secreted through an unconventional secretory pathway by crossing the plasma membrane directly. In this current issue, Lolicato et al. (2022. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202106123) find that the secretion process is promoted by cholesterol, which enhances PI(4,5)P2 accessibility to

mRNA sequencing reveals the distinct gene expression and biological functions in cardiac fibroblasts regulated by recombinant fibroblast growth factor 2 [PDF]
After myocardial injury, cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) differentiate into myofibroblasts, which express and secrete extracellular matrix (ECM) components for myocardial repair, but also promote myocardial fibrosis.

Erythroid promoter confines FGF2 expression to the marrow after hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy and leads to enhanced endosteal bone formation. [PDF]
Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2) has been demonstrated to be a promising osteogenic factor for treating osteoporosis. Our earlier study shows that transplantation of mouse Sca-1(+) hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells that are engineered to express a ...

Identification and characterization of an inhibitory fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) molecule, up-regulated in an Apert Syndrome mouse model [PDF]
AS (Apert syndrome) is a congenital disease composed of skeletal, visceral and neural abnormalities, caused by dominant-acting mutations in FGFR2 [FGF (fibroblast growth factor) receptor 2].

A pro‐inflammatory signature mediates FGF2‐induced angiogenesis [PDF]
AbstractFibroblast growth factor‐2 (FGF2) is a potent angiogenic growth factor. Here, gene expression profiling of FGF2‐stimulated microvascular endothelial cells revealed, together with a prominent pro‐angiogenic profile, a pro‐inflammatory signature characterized by the up‐regulation of pro‐inflammatory cytokine/chemokines and their receptors ...
