| Background | FGF-1,one of the most studied members of the fibroblast growth factor family,is a powerful mitogen exhibiting strong action on many different cell types. FGF-1 activity can be mediated not only by autocrine/paracrine pathways but also by an intracrine pathway. FGF-1 lacks a secretion signal peptide and is exported through a non-classical pathway. Endogenous FGF-1 is found in the nucleus of most cell types. Nuclear localization is required for FGF-1 mitogenic activity. FGF-1 promotes tumor development by promoting cancer cell proliferation and survival. Increased FGF-1 expression in early stages of many different cancers has been reported. Under oxidative stress,astrocytes can also release FGF-1 which stimulates ApoE/HDL generation in an autocrine manner for protection of the brain against oxidative stress. Involvement of FGF-1 in inflammation,cardioprotection,wound healing,adipocyte remodeling,and restenosis is also reported. |
