FGF signaling is essential for normal development of pancreatic islets. To examine the effects of overexpressed FGF8 and FGF10 on pancreatic development, we generated FGF8- and FGF10-transgenic mice (Tg mice) under the control of the glucagon promoter. In FGF8-Tg mice, hepatocyte-like cells were observed in the periphery of pancreatic islets, but areas of alpha and beta cells did not decrease, whereas in FGF10-Tg mice, pancreatic ductal and acinar cells were found in islets, concomitantly with disturbed beta-cell differentiation. These results suggest that FGF8 and FGF10 play important roles in development of hepatocytes and exocrine cells, respectively, and explain the absence of FGF8 expression in normal islets and pancreatic hypoplasia in FGF10-deficient mice. 相似文献

FGF10 signaling maintains the pancreatic progenitor cell state revealing a novel role of Notch in organ development 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
FGF10 plays an important role in the morphogenesis of several tissues by control of mesenchymal-to-epithelial signaling. In the pancreas, mesenchymal FGF10 is required to maintain the Pdx1-expressing epithelial progenitor cell population, and in the absence of FGF10 signaling, these cells fail to proliferate. Ectopic expression of FGF10 in the pancreatic epithelium caused increased proliferation of pancreatic progenitor cells and abrogation of pancreatic cell differentiation of all cell types. A hyperplastic pancreas consisting of undifferentiated cells expressing Pdx1, Nkx6.1, and cell adhesion markers normally characterizing early pancreatic progenitor cells resulted. Differentiation was attenuated even as proliferation of the pancreatic cells slowed during late gestation, suggesting that the trophic effect of FGF10 was independent of its effects upon cell differentiation. The FGF10-positive pancreatic cells expressed Notch1 and Notch2, the Notch-ligand genes Jagged1 and Jagged2, as well as the Notch target gene Hes1. This activation of Notch is distinct from the previously recognized mechanism of lateral inhibition. These data suggest that FGF10 signaling serves to integrate cell growth and terminal differentiation at the level of Notch activation, revealing a novel second role of this key signaling system during pancreatic development. 相似文献

Recent studies have shown that persistent expression of FGF10 in the developing pancreas of transgenic mice results in enhanced and prolonged proliferation of pancreatic progenitors, pancreatic hyperplasia and impaired pancreatic differentiation. These studies have also suggested that FGF10 prevents the differentiation of pancreatic progenitors by maintaining persistent Notch signalling. Here, we provide experimental evidence sustaining the capacity of FGF10 to induce the proliferation of pancreatic precursors, while preventing their differentiation. Using explant cultures of E10.5 isolated dorsal pancreatic epithelium, we found that FGF10 maintained Notch activation and induced the expansion of pancreatic precursors while blocking their differentiation. In addition, by using a gamma-secretase inhibitor, we were able to down-regulate the expression of Hes1, a target gene of the Notch pathway in explant cultures of pancreatic epithelium treated with FGF10. In such explants, the effect of FGF10 on the proliferation and maintenance of pancreatic progenitors was suppressed. These results demonstrate that activation of the Notch pathway is required as a downstream mediator of FGF10 signalling in pancreatic precursor cells. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are signaling molecules with a wide range of actions that are involved in various processes in the body. Specifically for pancreas, FGFs are important for both organogenesis and carcinogenesis. They belong to the factors involved in the interaction between cancer and stromal cells representing a key component in the development of pancreatic cancer. Pathological changes in the FGF/FGFR signaling pathway is a complex process, which depends on type/isoforms of FGF receptors (FGFR) regulating the remodeling effect and subsequent activation of pancreatic cancer cells by FGF. FGFs and their receptors FGFR are considered as potential specific markers and putative targets for treatment of pancreatic cancer. 相似文献

Variant heparan sulfates synthesized in developing mouse brain differentially regulate FGF signaling

Heparan sulfates (HSs) exert critical regulatory actions on many proteins, including growth factors, and are essential for normal development. Variations in their specific sulfation patterns are known to regulate binding and signaling of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) via tyrosine kinase receptors (FGFRs). We previously reported differences in sulfation patterns between HS species expressed by embryonic day 10 (E10) and E12 mouse neural precursor cells. We have examined the abilities of the different HS species to support signaling of the relevant FGF-FGFR combinations expressed early during brain development. For FGF8, which only functions early (E8-E11), E10 HS showed preferential activation. The most potent signaling for FGF8 was via FGFR3c, for which E10 HS was strongly active and E12 HS had no activity. For FGF2, which functions from E10 to E13, HS from both stages showed similar activity and were more potent at activating FGFR1c than the other receptors. Thus, we find a stage-specific correlation with activation. To explore the potential mechanisms for the generation of these stage-specific HS species, we investigated the expression of the HS sulfotransferase (HSST) isozymes responsible for creating diverse sulfation motifs in HS chains. We find that there are stage-specific combinations of HSST isozymes that could underlie the synthesis of different HS species at E10 and E12. Collectively, these data lead us to propose a model in which differential expression of HSSTs results in the synthesis of variant HS species that form functional signaling complexes with FGFs and FGFRs and orchestrate proliferation and differentiation in the developing brain. 相似文献

Recent evidence has shown that retinoic acid (RA) signalling is required for early pancreatic development in zebrafish and frog but its role in later development in mammals is less clear cut. In the present study, we determined the effects of RA on the differentiation of the mouse embryonic pancreas. Addition of all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) to embryonic pancreatic cultures induced a number of changes. Branching morphogenesis and exocrine differentiation were suppressed and there was premature formation of endocrine cell clusters (although the total area of beta cells was not different in control and atRA-treated buds). We investigated the mechanism of these changes and found that the premature formation of beta cells was associated with the early expression of high-level Pdx1 in the endocrine cell clusters. In contrast, the suppressive effect of RA on exocrine differentiation may be due to a combination of two mechanisms (i) up-regulation of the extracellular matrix component laminin and (ii) enhancement of apoptosis. We also demonstrate that addition of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-10 is able to partially prevent apoptosis and rescue exocrine differentiation and branching morphogenesis in atRA-treated cultures but not in mice lacking the FGF receptor 2-IIIb, suggesting the effects of FGF-10 are mediated through this receptor. 相似文献

Acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) from bovine brain has been isolated by a combination of salt precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography, heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography and reverse phase h.p.l.c. The amino acid composition of the mitogen is indistinguishable from that of acidic FGF previously purified. The amino-terminal sequence of acidic FGF was established as Phe-Asn-Leu- Pro-Gly-Asn-Tyr-Lys-Pro-Lys-Leu-X-Tyr-X-Ser-Asn-Gly-X-Tyr-Phe-Leu-Arg-Il e-Leu-Pro-Asp-Gly. Acidic FGF is structurally different from basic FGF as judged by mol. wt., amino acid composition and sequence. In vitro biological comparison of the two growth factors indicates that acidic and basic FGFs possess the same intrinsic activities to stimulate the proliferation of aorta, vein or capillary endothelial cells and adrenal cortex cells, but acidic FGF is 30-100 times less potent, depending on the cell type. 相似文献

Fgf10 is essential for maintaining the proliferative capacity of epithelial progenitor cells during early pancreatic organogenesis. 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

The importance of mesenchymal-epithelial interactions for the proper development of the pancreas has been acknowledged since the early 1960s, even though the molecule(s) mediating this process have remained unknown. We demonstrate here that Fgf10, a member of the fibroblast growth factor family (FGFs), plays an essential role in this process. We show that Fgf10 is expressed in the mesenchyme directly adjacent to the early dorsal and ventral pancreatic epithelial buds. In Fgf10(-/-) mouse embryos, the evagination of the epithelium and the initial formation of the dorsal and ventral buds appear normal. However, the subsequent growth, differentiation and branching morphogenesis of the pancreatic epithelium are arrested; this is primarily due to a dramatic reduction in the proliferation of the epithelial progenitor cells marked by the production of the homeobox protein PDX1. Furthermore, FGF10 restores the population of PDX1-positive cells in organ cultures derived from Fgf10(-/-) embryos. These results indicate that Fgf10 signalling is required for the normal development of the pancreas and should prove useful in devising methods to expand pancreatic progenitor cells. 相似文献

Heparanase cleavage of perlecan heparan sulfate modulates FGF10 activity during ex vivo submandibular gland branching morphogenesis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans are essential for biological processes regulated by fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). Heparan sulfate (HS) regulates the activity of FGFs by acting as a coreceptor at the cell surface, enhancing FGF-FGFR affinity, and being a storage reservoir for FGFs in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Here we demonstrate a critical role for heparanase during mouse submandibular gland (SMG) branching morphogenesis. Heparanase, an endoglycosidase, colocalized with perlecan in the basement membrane and in epithelial clefts of SMGs. Inhibition of heparanase activity in organ culture decreased branching morphogenesis, and this inhibition was rescued specifically by FGF10 and not by other FGFs. By contrast, exogenous heparanase increased SMG branching and MAPK signaling and, surprisingly, when isolated epithelia were cultured in a three-dimensional ECM with FGF10, it increased the number of lateral branches and end buds. In a solid-phase binding assay, an FGF10-FGFR2b complex was released from the ECM by heparanase. In addition, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis showed that FGF10 and the FGF10-FGFR2b complex bound to purified perlecan HS and could be released by heparanase. We used the FGF10-FGFR2b complex as a probe for HS in SMGs, and it colocalized with perlecan in the basement membrane and partly colocalized with syndecan 1 in the epithelium, and binding was reduced by treatment with heparanase. In summary, our results show heparanase releases FGF10 from perlecan HS in the basement membrane, increasing MAPK signaling, epithelial clefting, and lateral branch formation, which results in increased branching morphogenesis. 相似文献

The pancreas is a heterogeneous organ mixed with both exocrine and endocrine cells. The pancreas is involved in metabolic activities with the endocrine cells participating in the regulation of blood glucose, while the exocrine portion provides a compatible environment for the pancreatic islets and is responsible for secretion of digestive enzymes. The purpose of this study was to identify pancreatic proteins that are differentially expressed in normal mice and those with diet-induced type 2 diabetes (T2DM). In this study, C57BL/6J male mice fed a high fat diet became obese and developed T2DM. The pancreatic protein profiles were compared between control and diabetic mice using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Differentially expressed protein "spots" were identified by mass spectrometry. REG1 and REG2 proteins, which may be involved in the proliferation of pancreatic beta cells, were up-regulated very early in the progression of obese mice to T2DM. Glutathione peroxidase, which functions in the clearance of reactive oxidative species, was found to be down-regulated in the diabetic mice at later stages. The RNA levels encoding REG2 and glutathione peroxidase were compared by Northern blot analysis and were consistent to the changes in protein levels between diabetic and control mice. The up-regulation of REG1 and REG2 suggests the effort of the pancreas in trying to ameliorate the hyperglycemic condition by stimulating the proliferation of pancreatic beta cells and enhancing the subsequent insulin secretion. The down-regulation of glutathione peroxidase in pancreas could contribute to the progressive deterioration of beta cell function due to the hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress. 相似文献

The major molecular signals of pancreatic exocrine development are largely unknown. We examine the role of fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF7) in the final induction of pancreatic amylase-containing exocrine cells from induced-pancreatic progenitor cells derived from human embryonic stem (hES) cells. Our protocol consisted in three steps: Step I, differentiation of definitive endoderm (DE) by activin A treatment of hES cell colonies; Step II, differentiation of pancreatic progenitor cells by re-plating of the cells of Step I onto 24-well plates at high density and stimulation with all-trans retinoic acid; Step III, differentiation of pancreatic exocrine cells with a combination of FGF7, glucagon-like peptide 1 and nicotinamide. The expression levels of pancreatic endodermal markers such as Foxa2, Sox17 and gut tube endoderm marker HNF1β were up-regulated in both Step I and II. Moreover, in Step III, the induced cells expressed pancreatic markers such as amylase, carboxypeptidase A and chymotrypsinogen B, which were similar to those in normal human pancreas. From day 8 in Step III, cells immunohistochemically positive for amylase and for carboxypeptidase A, a pancreatic exocrine cell product, were induced by FGF7. Pancreatic progenitor Pdx1-positive cells were localized in proximity to the amylase-positive cells. In the absence of FGF7, few amylase-positive cells were identified. Thus, our three-step culture protocol for human ES cells effectively induces the differentiation of amylase- and carboxypeptidase-A-containing pancreatic exocrine cells. 相似文献

Polypeptide growth factors, including members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, play an important role in the growth and maintenance of the normal prostate. We have found that FGF9 is expressed at high levels in the normal peripheral and transition zone of the human prostate. Analysis of FGF9 production by primary cultures of prostatic epithelial and stromal cells has shown that FGF9 is produced and secreted by the prostatic stromal cells. Neither of these processes appears to be modulated by androgens. Production of FGF9 by stromal cells in vivo was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. FGF9 is a potent mitogen for both prostatic epithelial and stromal cells in culture and is a more potent mitogen for these cells than either FGF2 or FGF7, two other FGFs expressed in the human prostate. FGF9 is an abundant secreted growth factor that can act as both a paracrine mitogen for epithelial cells and an autocrine mitogen for stromal cells. Western blot analysis of tissue extracts from the normal and hyperplastic transition zone shows that FGF9 is present at two to threefold higher levels in the hyperplastic transition zone. Overexpression of this paracrine and autocrine growth factor may play an important role in the epithelial and stromal proliferation in benign prostatic hyperplasia. J. Cell.

In extending our previous studies toward development of an engineered distal lung tissue construct (M. J. Mondrinos, S. Koutzaki, E. Jiwanmall, M. Li, J. P. Dechadarevian, P. I. Lelkes, and C. M. Finck. Tissue Eng 12: 717-728, 2006), we studied the effects of exogenous fibroblast growth factors FGF10, FGF7, and FGF2 on mixed populations of embryonic day 17.5 murine fetal pulmonary cells cultured in three-dimensional collagen gels. The morphogenic effects of the FGFs alone and in various combinations were assessed by whole mount immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy. FGF10/7 significantly increased epithelial budding and proliferation; however, only FGF10 alone induced widespread budding. FGF7 alone induced dilation of epithelial structures but not widespread budding. FGF2 alone had a similar dilation, but not budding, effect in epithelial structures, and, in addition, significantly enhanced endothelial tubular morphogenesis and network formation, as well as mesenchymal proliferation. The combination of FGF10/7/2 induced robust budding of epithelial structures and the formation of uniform endothelial networks in parallel. These data suggest that appropriate combinations of exogenous FGFs chosen to target specific FGF receptor isoforms will allow for control of lung epithelial and mesenchymal cell behavior in the context of an engineered system. We propose that tissue-engineered fetal distal lung constructs could provide a potential source of tissue or cells for lung augmentation in pediatric pulmonary pathologies, such as pulmonary hypoplasia and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. In addition, engineered systems will provide alternative in vitro venues for the study of lung developmental biology and pathobiology. 相似文献

It has been shown that adult pancreatic ductal cells can dedifferentiate and act as pancreatic progenitors. Dedifferentiation of epithelial cells is often associated with the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). In this study, we investigated the occurrence of EMT in adult human exocrine pancreatic cells both in vitro and in vivo. Cells of exocrine fraction isolated from the pancreas of brain-dead donors were first cultured in suspension for eight days. This led to the formation of spheroids, composed of a principal population of cells with duct-like phenotype. When cultivated in tissue culture-treated flasks, spheroid cells exhibited a proliferative capacity and coexpressed epithelial (cytokeratin7 and cytokeratin19) and mesenchymal (vimentin and α-smooth muscle actin) markers as well as marker of progenitor pancreatic cells (pancreatic duodenal homeobox factor-1) and surface markers of mesenchymal stem cells. The switch from E-cadherin to N-cadherin associated with Snail1 expression suggested that these cells underwent EMT. In addition, we showed coexpression of epithelial and mesenchymal markers in ductal cells of one normal adult pancreas and three type 2 diabetic pancreases. Some of the vimentin-positive cells were found to coexpress glucagon or amylase. These results point to the occurrence of EMT, which may take place on dedifferentiation of ductal cells during the regeneration or renewal of human pancreatic tissues.

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) modulates glucose and lipid metabolism during fasting. In addition, previous evidence indicates that increased expression of FGF21 during chronic food restriction is associated with reduced bone growth and growth hormone (GH) insensitivity. In light of the inhibitory effects on growth plate chondrogenesis mediated by other FGFs, we hypothesized that FGF21 causes growth inhibition by acting directly at the long bones' growth plate. We first demonstrated the expression of FGF21, FGFR1 and FGFR3 (two receptors known to be activated by FGF21) and β-klotho (a co-receptor required for the FGF21-mediated receptor binding and activation) in fetal and 3-week-old mouse growth plate chondrocytes. We then cultured mouse growth plate chondrocytes in the presence of graded concentrations of rhFGF21 (0.01-10 μg/ml). Higher concentrations of FGF21 (5 and 10 μg/ml) inhibited chondrocyte thymidine incorporation and collagen X mRNA expression. 10 ng/ml GH stimulated chondrocyte thymidine incorporation and collagen X mRNA expression, with both effects prevented by the addition in the culture medium of FGF21 in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, FGF21 reduced GH binding in cultured chondrocytes. In cells transfected with FGFR1 siRNA or ERK 1 siRNA, the antagonistic effects of FGF21 on GH action were all prevented, supporting a specific effect of this growth factor in chondrocytes. Our findings suggest that increased expression of FGF21 during food restriction causes growth attenuation by antagonizing the GH stimulatory effects on chondrogenesis directly at the growth plate. In addition, high concentrations of FGF21 may directly suppress growth plate chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation. 相似文献

The prevailing concept has been that an FGF induces epithelial-to-fiber differentiation in the mammalian lens, whereas chick lens cells are unresponsive to FGF and are instead induced to differentiate by IGF/insulin-type factors. We show here that when treated for periods in excess of those used in previous investigations (>5 h), purified recombinant FGFs stimulate proliferation of primary cultures of embryonic chick lens epithelial cells and (at higher concentrations) expression of the fiber differentiation markers delta-crystallin and CP49. Surprisingly, upregulation of proliferation and delta-crystallin synthesis by FGF does not require activation of ERK kinases. ERK function is, however, essential for stimulation of delta-crystallin expression in response to insulin or IGF-1. Vitreous humor, the presumptive source of differentiation-promoting activity in vivo, contains a factor capable of diffusing out of the vitreous body and inducing delta-crystallin and CP49 expression in chick lens cultures. This factor binds heparin with high affinity and increases delta-crystallin expression in an ERK-insensitive manner, properties consistent with an FGF but not insulin or IGF. Our findings indicate that differentiation in the chick lens is likely to be mediated by an FGF and provide the first insights into the role of the ERK pathway in growth factor-induced signal transduction in the lens. 相似文献

Fibroblast growth factors (FGF) 1 and 2 and their tyrosine kinase receptor (FGFR) are present throughout the adult retina. FGFs are potential mitogens, but adult retinal cells are maintained in a nonproliferative state unless the retina is damaged. Our work aims to find a modulator of FGF signaling in normal and pathological retina. We identified and sequenced a truncated FGFR1 form from rat retina generated by the use of selective polyadenylation sites. This 70-kDa form of soluble extracellular FGFR1 (SR1) was distributed mainly localized in the inner nuclear layer of the retina, whereas the full-length FGFR1 form was detected in the retinal Muller glial cells. FGF2 and FGFR1 mRNA levels greatly increased in light-induced retinal degeneration. FGFR1 was detected in the radial fibers of activated retinal Muller glial cells. In contrast, SR1 mRNA synthesis followed a biphasic pattern of down- and up-regulation, and anti-SR1 staining was intense in retinal pigmented epithelial cells. The synthesis of SR1 and FGFR1 specifically and independently regulated in normal and degenerating retina suggests that changes in the proportion of various FGFR forms may control the bioavailability of FGFs and thus their potential as neurotrophic factors. This was demonstrated in vivo during retinal degeneration when recombinant SR1 inhibited the neurotrophic activity of exogenous FGF2 and increased damaging effects of light by inhibiting endogenous FGF. This study highlights the significance of the generation of SR1 in normal and pathological conditions. 相似文献
