    Western blot analysis of 50ng recombinant human FGF-basic (lane 1, Ala144-Ser288), 50ng human FGF-basic (lane 2, Ala135-Ser288), 50ng recombinant mouse FGF-basic (lane 3), 15µg U87-MG untreated (lane 4) and 15µg U87-MG treated with Brefeldin A for six hours (lane 5). Purified anti-FGF-basic (clone A15021A) antibody was used, followed by HRP goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody. Purified anti-GAPDH (clone Poly6314) antibody was used as a loading control.

    U87-MG cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for ten minutes, permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 for ten minutes, and blocked with 5% FBS for 30 minutes. Then the cells were intracellularly stained with 2 µg/mL purified anti-FGF-basic (clone A15021A) antibody for two hours at room temperature followed by Alexa Fluor® 594 conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (red) for one hour at room temperature. Actin filaments were labeled with Alexa Fluor® 488 Phalloidin (green). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). The image was captured with a 60X objective.

Description

FGF-basic, also known as FGFb and FGF-2, is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family which includes 23 members. FGFb is expressed in almost all tissues and plays an important role in a variety of normal and pathological processes, including development, wound healing, and neoplastic transformation. FGFb is mitogenic for many cell types, both epithelial and mesenchymal. FGFb shows potent angiogenic activity and has been implicated in tumor angiogenesis. In prostate, bladder, and renal cancers, FGFb regulates the induction of metalloproteinases (MMP) that degrade extracellular matrix proteins, thus facilitating tumor metastasis. FGFb binds to a family of four distinct, high affinity tyrosine kinase receptors, designated FGFR-1 to -4. In addition, FGFb binds to the ECM, and heparan sulfate (HS) is an essential and dynamic regulator of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling. Two fundamentally different crystallographic models have been proposed to explain, at the molecular level, how HS/heparin enables FGF and FGF receptor (FGFR) to assemble into a functional dimer on the cell surface, although there is controversy regarding the exact manner by which this occurs.
