Exogenous growth factor therapy has shown a notable promise in accelerating the healing of acute and chronic wounds. However, their susceptibility to enzymatic degradation and short contact time with the wound bed warrant the use of sophisticated delivery vehicles that stabilize the encapsulated peptides and control their rate of release. Herein, we describe the synthesis of a nitrocinnamate-derived polyethylene glycol (PEG-NC) hydrogel system and study the release kinetics of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) as a function of hydrogel properties. Long-wave ultraviolet irradiation (365 nm) was used to alter the physical properties of the gel scaffold (i.e. degree of swelling) and consequently control the release rates of the encapsulated bFGF. The degree of swelling (DS) decreased from 10.7 to 8 as the length of irradiation increased from 5 to 30 min. Similarly, the DS decreased from 17.5 to 11.5 by increasing the initial PEG-NC concentration from 10 to 30 w/v% while keeping the crosslinking irradiation at 10 min. Radiolabeled I(125) studies were used to monitor the release of bFGF from PEG-NC hydrogels with variable swellabilities. By increasing the length of irradiation from 2 to 10 min the rate of bFGF release from PEG-NC gel scaffolds was decreased by 29% due to the enhanced crosslinking density. The bFGF-releasing PEG-NC hydrogels were not cytotoxic to human neonatal fibroblast cells and the released growth factor maintained its activity and induced fibroblast proliferation and collagen production in vitro. The addition of heparin within the gel scaffolds further increased the growth factor's activity. 相似文献

Tumor progression results from complex interactions between tumor and tumor-associated host tissue. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), via activation of its receptor, FGFR-1, has been postulated to be an important inducer of host stromal response and angiogenesis. To assess the putative role of tumor-associated stromal cells and vessels in tumor progression, we studied non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from 84 patients, including 51 squamous cell carcinomas and 33 nonsquamous cell carcinomas, by immunohistochemical detection. bFGF and FGFR-1 immunoreactivity was observed in tumor and in tumor-associated stromal cells and vessels. The expression of bFGF and FGFR-1 in stromal cells was higher in squamous than in non-squamous cell carcinomas (respectively, P = .007 and P = .0004). We found that bFGF and FGFR-1 expression in tumor and tumor-associated stromal cells and vessels was directly correlated with host stromal response, as assessed by intratumoral extension of stroma, but not with angiogenic response, as assessed by microvessel count. Although FGFR-1 expression of tumor cells was directly correlated with T-stage (P = .03), bFGF expressions of tumor-associated stromal cells and vessels were inversely correlated with lymph node metastasis (respectively, P = .0001 and P = .0002) and advanced pathological stage (respectively, P = .03 and P = .01). These findings suggest that bFGF might mediate host stromal response in NSCLC and that the expression of bFGF in tumor-associated stromal cells and vessels might have an inhibitory role in NSCLC progression. 相似文献

The development of distant metastasis in breast cancer patients is the key step towards worse prognosis. The angiogenic basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis in several human cancers. Therefore, bFGF expression was studied by immunohistochemistry in 111 patients with primary breast cancer. The results were correlated with prognostically relevant clinico-pathological features. such as tumor stage, grading. nodal stage and survival. bFGF was expressed in approximately 70% of the breast cancer tissues; 30% of the tumors showed strongly positive staining. With the exception of histological grading (p < 0.05), no correlation was found between the extent of bFGF expression and prognostic parameters. Analysis of survival showed a significantly (p < 0.05) prolonged survival for patients with a concomitant absence of axillary lymph node metastasis and bFGF immunoreactivity. Our data suggest that increased bFGF expression is a novel parameter for worse prognosis in nodal-negative breast cancer patients. 相似文献

Improved neovascularization and wound repair by targeting human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to fibrin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Targeted therapy is a new generation of therapeutics, where two critical factors are involved. One is the particular molecular
target, and the other is the specific target-binding drug. In this work, the fibrin, a main component of plasma clot at wound
sites, was used as the target for human bFGF, aiming to improve therapeutic neovascularization and wound repair. To endow
bFGF with fibrin-targeting ability, a fibrin-binding peptide Kringle1 (K1), derived from human plasminogen, was fused to human
bFGF. The recombinant K1bFGF showed high fibrin and plasma-clot-binding ability. When applied to the wound sites with plasma
clots, K1bFGF induced robust neovascularization and improved wound healing. To extend the application of K1bFGF to other cases
where no plasma clots exist, we developed a fibrin-scaffold/K1bFGF system. This system could induce localized neovascularization
by delivery of K1bFGF in a sustained and site-targeting manner, and provide a microenvironment promoting cell growth and tissue
regeneration. In summary, we successfully used the pathologic environment fibrin clot as the target for bFGF, and based on
which bFGF was designed into a targeting agent by introduction of a fibrin-binding peptide. This provides a potential approach
to improve therapeutic neovascularization and wound repair. 相似文献

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is thought to be of major importance for fibrosis and angiogenesis. Despite intensive studies dealing with the biochemistry and multiple biologic effects of bFGF, the cellular distribution is virtually unknown. Therefore, using the indirect immunoperoxidase technique, we examined the effect of bFGF on a large pattern of normal, inflammatory, and tumorous human tissues. Staining was performed on cryostat sections with a highly specific affinity-purified antiserum. In normal tissues, especially those of the thymus and placenta, mainly dendritic cells contained the growth factor. High levels of bFGF were also detected in basal cells and gland epithelial cells of skin biopsies. A conspicuous expression was observed in chronic inflammatory tissues corresponding to a generally pronounced proliferation of fibroblasts and endothelial cells in these situations. Tumors revealed a very heterogenous staining pattern. In some lesions, bFGF was predominantly present in infiltrating and endothelial cells. In several, neoplasms tumor cells exhibited an intensive staining. In some, especially vascular tumors, bFGF could not be detected. From the staining results it is concluded that angiogenesis is not simply controlled by the presence of bFGF but is mediated by a balance of several angiogenic inducers and inhibitors. 相似文献

Acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) mRNA has been detected in adult mouse or bovine retina by in situ hybridization with bovine aFGF cDNA clones. It is localized on ganglion cell layer, inner nuclear layer, photoreceptors and slightly on pigmented epithelium. This synthesis of aFGF in highly specialized retinal cell types is discussed in the framework on current views about the role of FGF in retinal cell biology. 相似文献

Chronic ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure to the eyes of Monodelphis domestica causes corneal opacification, neovascularization, and fibrosarcoma induction. By immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, we have shown that one to four exposures of the eyes of this opossum to UVR enhances basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) expression by the corneal epithelium. Treatment with photoreactivating light, which selectively removes UVR-induced pyrimidine dimers, suppresses bFGF induction, indicating that UVR induction of bFGF is ultimately due to DNA damage. Furthermore, UVR-induced corneal tumors derived from corneal keratocytes express bFGF mRNA and protein, as determined by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. Taken together, these findings suggest that bFGF acts in both an autocrine and a paracrine manner to stimulate corneal fibroplasia, neovascularization, and tumor development. 相似文献

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) helps to regulate the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts, the proliferation of endothelial cells, and aids the development of angiogenesis. Its in vivo half-life is on the order of minutes due to extensive degradation and inactivation, which could be potentially reduced by controlled release vehicles. In this study, bFGF was entrapped into chitosan (CS) and N-succinyl-chitosan (SC) nanoparticles, with and without heparin, at two levels of initial loading, followed by further characterization of the particles. Release studies were conducted using radiolabeled bFGF-loaded nanoparticles. Both types of nanoparticles loaded similar amounts of bFGF (60.2 and 68.6% for CS and SC, respectively). The release profile varied greatly among the samples, and a burst release was observed in most cases, with the release amount approaching its final value in the first 6 h. The final amount released varied from 1.5 to 18% of the amount of bFGF-entrapped. The concomitant encapsulation of heparin and the use of SC as a nanoparticle matrix contributed to the largest amount of bFGF release (18%) over the time investigated. 相似文献

Immunohistochemical expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and C-KIT in cutaneous melanocytic lesions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and C-KIT are involved in tumor progression in several human neoplasms. The aim of the present study has been to investigate their immunohistochemical expression in melanocytic lesions. We examined 11 compound nevi, 12 dysplastic nevi, and 18 melanomas. Immunostaining for VEGF was observed only in melanomas; c-kit expression was detected in melanomas (higher in radial than in vertical growth phase) and in nevi (predominantly in the junctional component). Our data indicate that assessment of VEGF expression might aid in the differential diagnosis between dysplastic nevi and melanomas. Moreover, VEGF might be a candidate for targeted therapy. The loss of c-kit expression might contribute to melanoma progression. 相似文献

The expression of several angiogenic factors and receptors was examined in a series of vertical growth phase cutaneous melanomas using high-throughput tissue microarray technology and immunohistochemistry. The results were correlated with microvessel density, clinicopathological features, and patient survival. Expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was significantly associated with increased microvessel density. Also, we found an independent prognostic importance of vascular phenotype by endothelial cell expression of bFGF; cases with positive vessels had the best prognosis and these tumors revealed a low frequency of vascular invasion (14%) when compared with bFGF-negative vessels (47%). This bFGF-negative phenotype was significantly increased in metastatic lesions. Strong tumor cell expression of FLT-4, ephrin-A1, and EphA2 was associated with increased melanoma thickness, and ephrin-A1 staining was related to decreased survival (P = 0.039). Expression of EphA2 in tumor cells was associated with increased tumor cell proliferation (Ki-67 positivity), indicating possible autocrine growth stimulation. Thus, our findings indicate the presence of phenotypic diversity among tumor-associated vessels, and subgroups defined by bFGF expression may be of clinical importance. bFGF was associated with microvessel density, whereas the ephrin-A1/EphA2 pathway might also be important for tumor cell proliferation and patient survival. 相似文献

Arteritis induced in rats by vasodilators, fenoldopam and theophylline, was examined immunohistochemically for expressions of inducible type of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and tumor growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1). Rats were administered fenoldopam for 24 hours by intravenous infusion with or without following repeated daily oral administrations of theophylline. Irrespective of theophylline administration, iNOS antigens were remarkably abundant in ED-1-positive cells on day 5 and 8 post-fenoldopam-infusion (DPI); bFGF antigens were remarkably abundant in ED-1-positive cells on 1 and 3 DPI; TGF-beta1 antigens were observed in ED-1-positive cells on and after 5 DPI. These results suggest that the peak expression of iNOS antigen was followed by that of bFGF antigen, and bFGF may have a suppressive effect on iNOS expression in these rat arteritis models. On the other hand, TGF-beta1 was not considered to have a suppressive effect on iNOS expression in these models. 相似文献

The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay is a widely used bioassay for testing angiogenic activities. In the present study we compared the gross and micromorphological effects of three angiogenic factors applied in Elvax carriers on the CAM: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), human angiogenic factor (h-AF), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Our question was whether the CAM responds to these factors which have very different actions with a stereotype or with a factor specific reaction. By microangiography and light microscopy, all positive reactions appeared as a spoke-wheel vascular pattern with a bundle of small capillary blood vessels in the center. These vessels were predominantly of a distended type in h-AF and TNF experiments, while narrower capillary vessels followed bFGF application. Chorioallantoic ectoderm and endoderm were thickened by cell accumulation and the mesenchymal stroma of the CAM was edematous and infiltrated with leucocytes in all three reactions. Additionally, bFGF experiments showed areas of densely arranged fibroblasts. Observations in vivo showed chorioallantoic tissue movements as a possible mechanism for the spokewheel vascular pattern. As compared with our results from studies of cytokinetics with bromodeoxyuridine, these current findings indicate that chemotaxis is responsible for the chorioallantoic angiogenic reaction rather than cellular proliferation. 相似文献

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, FGF-2) is a potent angiogenic factor and endothelial cell mitogen. Although bFGF levels are increased in chronically inflamed tissue, its role in inflammation is unclear. We investigated the effect of bFGF on acute dermal inflammation and the recruitment of monocytes, T cells, and neutrophils. Leukocyte recruitment to inflamed sites was quantified with radiolabeled leukocytes. Intradermal injection of bFGF in rats did not induce leukocyte recruitment or inflammation. However, the recruitment of leukocytes to inflammation induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interferon-gamma, C5a, or a delayed hypersensitivity reaction was enhanced by bFGF by 55 to 132% (P < 0.05). Either acute or prolonged bFGF treatment of dermal sites had this effect. The potentiating effect of bFGF on leukocyte recruitment was also seen in joints. There was no associated modulation of vascular permeability, blood flow, or angiogenesis in the sites by bFGF. However, the expression of the endothelial cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) for leukocytes, P-selectin, E-selectin, and ICAM-1, was significantly up-regulated in the inflamed tissue by bFGF, as quantified by radiolabeled anti-CAM antibody binding in vivo. Thus, although not directly proinflammatory, bFGF synergistically potentiates inflammatory mediator-induced leukocyte recruitment, at least in part, by enhancing CAM up-regulation on endothelium. 相似文献
