Fibroblast growth factor 2(FGF-2), also known asbasic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) andFGF-β,is agrowth factorandsignaling proteinencoded by theFGF2gene.[5][6]It binds to and exerts effects via specificfibroblast growth factor receptor(FGFR) proteins,themselves a family of closely related molecules.Fibroblast growth factorprotein was first purified in 1975; soon thereafter three variants were isolated: 'basic FGF' (FGF2); Heparin-binding growth factor-2; and Endothelial cell growth factor-2. Gene sequencing revealed that this group is the same FGF2 protein and is a member of afamily of FGFproteins.[7][8]

Function

[edit]

Like other FGF family members, basic fibroblast growth factor possesses broadmitogenicand cell survival activities, and is involved in a variety of biological processes, includingembryonic development,cell growth,morphogenesis,tissue repair,tumor growth and invasion.

In normal tissue, bFGF is present inbasement membranesand in thesubendothelialextracellular matrixofblood vessels.It staysmembrane-bound as long as there is nosignal peptide.

It has been hypothesized that, during bothwound healingof normal tissues andtumordevelopment, the action ofheparan sulfate-degradingenzymesactivates bFGF, thus mediating the formation of newblood vessels,a process known asangiogenesis.

In addition, it is synthesized and secreted by humanadipocytesand the concentration of FGF2 correlates with the BMI in blood samples. It was also shown to act onpreosteoblasts– in the form of an increasedproliferation– after binding tofibroblast growth factor receptor 1and activatingphosphoinositide 3-kinase.[9]

FGF2 has been shown in preliminary animal studies to protect the heart from injury associated with a heart attack, reducing tissue death and promoting improved function afterreperfusion.[10]

Evidence has shown that low levels of FGF-2 play a key role in the incidence of excessive anxiety.[11]

Additionally, FGF-2 is a critical component of humanembryonic stem cellculture medium; the growth factor is necessary for the cells to remain in an undifferentiated state, although the mechanisms by which it does this are poorly defined. It has been demonstrated to inducegremlinexpression which in turn is known to inhibit the induction of differentiation bybone morphogenetic proteins.[12]It is necessary in mouse-feeder cell dependent culture systems, as well as in feeder and serum-free culture systems.[13]FGF-2, in conjunction withBMP4,promote differentiation of stem cells to mesodermal lineages. After differentiation, BMP4 and FGF2 treated cells generally produce higher amounts ofosteogenicandchondrogenicdifferentiation than untreated stem cells.[14]However, a low concentration of bFGF (10 ng/mL) may exert an inhibitory effect onosteoblastdifferentiation.[15]The nuclear form of FGF2 functions in mRNA export[16]

FGF-2 is synthesized primarily as a 155 amino acid polypeptide, resulting in an 18 kDa protein. However, there are four alternate start codons which provide N-terminal extensions of 41, 46, 55, or 133 amino acids, resulting in proteins of 22 kDa (196 aa total), 22.5 kDa (201 aa total), 24 kDa (210 aa total) and 34 kDa (288 aa total), respectively.[7]Generally, the 155 aa/18 kDa low molecular weight (LMW) form is considered cytoplasmic and can be secreted from the cell, whereas the high molecular weight (HMW) forms are directed to the cell's nucleus.[17]

Since its first isolation from the bovine pituitary,[18]FGF2 has become a prominent signaling protein studied in bovine reproduction. It has been found incumulus cellsthat surround theoocyteand evidence on such early reproductive function indicates FGF2 may promote meiotic resumption and prevent cumulus cellapoptosis.[19]FGF2 is also produced by theuterine epithelium,secreted into the lumen, and acts on the developingembryoandconceptus.Work in mice previously established that FGF2 plays a role inprimitive endoderm(PE) development.[20]Research with bovine embryos has since noted this same phenomenon. Extended blastocyst cultures with FGF2-supplemented media observed that FGF2 increases PE outgrowths via proliferation. Knockout models of theFGF receptorand its kinase activity appears to alter the cellular expression ofNANOGandGATA4(transcription factors essential for proper cell differentiation andembryonic development), indicating a specific role of FGF2 in PE specification and subsequent blastocyst development rates.[20][21]Culture media supplemented with combinations of FGF2,EGFandIGF2have found similar results and indicate that FGF2 may activate theAKT pathwayfor trophoblastic cell line growth.[22]Together, this showcases the key roles FGF2 plays in bovine embryo development, as similarly described in other mammalian species.

Interactions

Fibroblast growth factor 2 has been shown tointeractwithcasein kinase 2, alpha 1,[23]RPL6,[24]ribosomal protein S19[25]andAPI5.[16]
