Disease relevance of Fgf4

 

High impact information on Fgf4

  • We report here that inactivating Fgf8 in early limb ectoderm causes a substantial reduction in limb-bud size, a delay in Shh expression, misregulation of Fgf4 expression, and hypoplasia or aplasia of specific skeletal elements [6].
  • Experiments in chicks suggested that SHH expression in the ZPA is maintained by FGF4 expression in the AER, and vice versa, providing a molecular mechanism for coordinating the activities of these two signalling centres [7].
  • In mice, loss of function of Fgf4 (refs 13,14), Fgf9 (D. Ornitz, pers. comm.) or Fgf17 (ref. 15) has no effect on limb formation [6].
  • Conditional inactivation of Fgf4 reveals complexity of signalling during limb bud development [7].
  • Expansion of trophoblast precursors is restored, however, by an Oct4 target gene product, fibroblast growth factor-4 [8].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Fgf4

 

Biological context of Fgf4

  • We have analyzed the phenotype of Fgf8(-/-) embryos and discovered that they fail to express Fgf4 in the streak [11].
  • Downregulation or ectopic anterior expression of Fgf4 is also seen [12].
  • This conditional mutation was designed so that concomitant with inactivation of the Fgf4 gene by excision of all Fgf4-coding sequences, a reporter gene was activated in Fgf4-expressing cells, allowing assessment of the site-specific recombination reaction [13].
  • We show by mutational analysis that a conserved E box located in the Fgf4 myotome enhancer is required for Fgf4-lacZ expression in the myotomes [14].
  • Distinct regulatory elements govern Fgf4 gene expression in the mouse blastocyst, myotomes, and developing limb [15].
 

Anatomical context of Fgf4

 

Associations of Fgf4 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of Fgf4

  • These results demonstrate that in these cells bFGF transforms cells by interacting with its receptor and that bFGF and hst/K-fgf may use the same receptor [24].
  • Sox-2 and Oct-3 bind to the enhancer and are required for the activation of the FGF-4 gene [25].
  • In this study, we demonstrate that both the oxidizing agent diamide and the alkylating agent N-ethylmaleimide inhibit the ability of Oct-1, Oct-3, Sp1, and several Sp1-related nuclear proteins to bind important cis-regulatory elements located in the FGF-4 gene [26].
