The existence of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) was proposed over 40 years ago to account for the ability of tissue extracts to stimulate fibroblast proliferation. In the 1970s it became clear that preparations containing FGF activity were in fact pleiotropic, affecting the growth and function of a wide variety of mesenchymal, endocrine and neural ...

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2000
Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) is a heparin-binding growth factor which occurs in several isoforms resulting from alternative initiations of translation: an 18 kD cytoplasmic isoform and four larger molecular weight nuclear isoforms (22, 22.5, 24 and 34 kD).

Fibroblast Growth Factors and Their Inhibitors
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2000Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are members of a family of polypeptides synthesized by a variety of cell types during the processes of embryonic development and in adult tissues. FGFs have been detected in normal and malignant cells and show a biological profile that includes mitogenic and angiogenic activity with a consequent crucial role in cell ...

Fibroblast Growth Factors, Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors, Diseases, and Drugs
Recent Patents on Cardiovascular Drug Discovery, 2006Maintenance of endothelial cells (ECs), the building blocks of the vascular tree, is a presumed function of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). In particular, the two prototypic members of FGF family, namely FGF1 and FGF2, due to their potent mitogenic and pro-migratory activities, have the ability to induce metabolic and phenotypic changes in ECs that ...

Inhibition of fibroblast growth factors
Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 1996The potential roles of members of the fibroblast growth factor family in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis and their mechanisms of release from cells are discussed. Furthermore, we review methods of therapeutic targeting of these polypeptides. In particular, we focus on the possibility to inhibit fibroblast growth factors with drugs that mimic heparin ...

We have reviewed data showing that FGFs are a family of related factors playing fundamental roles in several biologic processes involving tissue remodeling such as embryonic development, angiogenesis, wound healing, nerve regeneration, and chronic inflammation and cancer.

The FASEB Journal, 1987
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are heparin‐binding protein mitogens that induce division of most cultured cells derived from embryonic mesoderm and neuroectoderm. Terminally differentiated neurons also respond in vitro by eliciting outgrowth of neurites. In vivo, FGFs have been shown to induce DNA synthesis, cell migration, blood
