Clinical difference between fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 subclass, type IIIb and type IIIc, in gastric cancer [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) has two isoforms: IIIb type and IIIc type. Clinicopathologic significance of these two FGFR2 subtypes in gastric cancer remains to be known.

Subcellular localization of fibroblast growth factor receptor type 2 and correlation with CTNNB1 genotype in adrenocortical carcinoma [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2020
Objective Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 2 regulates the development of the adrenal gland in mice. In addition, FGFR2-mediated signalling has been shown to prevent apoptosis and to enhance proliferation in adrenocortical precursor cells.

Pivotal Role of TGF-β/Smad Signaling in Cardiac Fibrosis: Non-coding RNAs as Effectual Players

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Unintended cardiac fibroblast proliferation in many pathophysiological heart conditions, known as cardiac fibrosis, results in pooling of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in the heart muscle.

Autocrine Signaling in Cardiac Remodeling: A Rich Source of Therapeutic Targets

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
The myocardium consists of different cell types, of which endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes, and fibroblasts are the most abundant. Communication between these different cell types, also called paracrine signaling, is essential for normal cardiac ...

Overexpression of bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 suppresses transforming growth factor β-induced profibrotic responses in lung fibroblasts

Experimental Lung Research, 2022
Purpose of the study: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease with a poor prognosis. As the efficacy of currently available antifibrotics is limited, development of new therapies is warranted. Transforming growth factor (TGF)- plays a central role in the pathogenesis of IPF through mechanisms such as promoting the production of ...

Novel Nuclear Signaling Pathway Mediates Activation of Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 Gene by Type 1 and Type 2 Angiotensin II Receptors [PDF]

Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2001
In bovine adrenal medullary cells synergistically acting type 1 and type 2 angiotensin II (AII) receptors activate the fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) gene through a unique AII-responsive promoter element. Both the type 1 and type 2 AII receptors and the downstream cyclic adenosine 1′,3′-monophosphate- and protein kinase C-dependent signaling ...

The Antimicrobial Peptide Human β-Defensin-3 Accelerates Wound Healing by Promoting Angiogenesis, Cell Migration, and Proliferation Through the FGFR/JAK2/STAT3 Signaling Pathway

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
In addition to its antimicrobial activity, the skin-derived antimicrobial peptide human β-defensin-3 (hBD-3) promotes keratinocyte proliferation and migration to initiate the wound healing process; however, its effects on fibroblasts, which are the major

Type 2 Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Signaling Preserves Stemness and Prevents Differentiation of Prostate Stem Cells from the Basal Compartment [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
Prostate stem cells (P-SCs) are capable of giving rise to all three lineages of prostate epithelial cells, which include basal, luminal, and neuroendocrine cells. Two types of P-SCs have been identified in both human and mouse adult prostates based on prostasphere or organoid cultures, cell lineage tracing, renal capsule implantation, and expression of

Dermal fibroblast transcriptome indicates contribution of WNT signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of Apert syndrome

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2017
Cranial sutures are unossified connective tissue structures between the cranial bones, which allow expansion of these bones during development. Premature ossification of these structures is called craniosynostosis.
