Disease relevance of FGFR2

 

High impact information on FGFR2

  • Interestingly, this common mutation occurs precisely at the analogous position within the FGFR3 protein as the mutations in FGFR1 (Pro252Arg) and FGFR2 (Pro253Arg) previously reported in Pfeiffer and Apert syndromes, respectively [5].
  • Apert syndrome results from one or other of two specific nucleotide substitutions, both C-->G transversions, in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene [6].
  • The gene on chromosome 10 is FGFR2 with several different mutations causing sporadic and familial PS (Table 1) [5].
  • FGFR2 mutations in Pfeiffer syndrome [7].
  • Identical mutations in the FGFR2 gene cause both Pfeiffer and Crouzon syndrome phenotypes [8].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of FGFR2

 

Biological context of FGFR2

 

Anatomical context of FGFR2

  • Furthermore, the expression of the high-affinity receptor tyrosine kinase to KGF (FGFR2) is predominantly detectable in alpha2beta1(hi) CD133- TAP cells when compared with stem cells (alpha2beta1(hi) CD133+), which would therefore be relatively unresponsive to the differentiating effect of KGF [17].
  • Thus, by mimicking the paracrine pathway (on proliferation, growth in soft agar and invasion) on the human prostatic epithelial cell line PNT1A positively checked for FGFR2/IIIb expression, FGF7 significantly enhanced cell proliferation at an optimal concentration of 7.5 x 10(-11) M, but no significant invasion or growth in soft agar were observed [18].
  • In an in vitro control model of calvarial osteoblasts from Apert patients carrying the FGFR2 P253R mutation, we studied the changes in cellular phenotype and evaluated the effects of FGF2 [19].
  • Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Southern blot transfer of mRNA derived from 7 SCCHN cell lines showed that the IIIb isoform of FGF-receptor 2 (FGFR2) was expressed at high levels, whereas the IIIc isoform and FGFRI were weakly expressed or not detected [20].
  • Widespread co-expression of FGFR1 and FGFR2 was observed in intimal smooth muscle cells, foam cells and the plaque microvasculature of simple and advanced lesions [21].
 

Associations of FGFR2 with chemical compounds

  • Here we report the crystal structure of the FGFR2 ectodomain in a dimeric form that is induced by simultaneous binding to FGF1 and a heparin decasaccharide [22].
  • Mutations in FGFR2 clustered at two critical cysteine residues, 278 and 342, which were involved in 18 of 30 cases (60%) [23].
  • H16N2 cells expressing the full-length FGFR2 with the C1 or C3 carboxyl terminus were tested for their ability to grow under epidermal growth factor (EGF)-independent conditions, in soft agar, and for their ability to invade naturally occurring basement membranes and compared with the parental SUM-52PE cell line [24].
  • Phosphorylation of the adapter protein FGF receptor substrate 2 is much more robust in the cells expressing the C3 variant of FGFR2 compared with the C1 variant [24].
  • These PCSCs possessed estrogen receptors and KGFR, but not androgen receptor as determined by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively [25].
 

Physical interactions of FGFR2

 

Co-localisations of FGFR2

 

Regulatory relationships of FGFR2

 

Other interactions of FGFR2

  • We have crystallized a complex between human FGF1 and a two-domain extracellular fragment of human FGFR2 [34].
  • By prior convention, the previously reported from of FGFR3 was designated IIIc due to its high degree of homology with the IIIc domain of FGFR1 (83% homology) and the IIIc domain of FGFR2 (81% homology) [35].
  • FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR4 were expressed at high levels in respectively 22%, 4% and 32% of tumors [36].
  • The sequence variations c.590C>G and c.582-62G>A in FGF8, and, c.550+27C>T, c.727+180T>G, c.830T>C (p.Me186Thr), and c.2454C>T in FGFR2 were found uniquely in patients with hypospadias, as compared with 96 controls [37].
  • During the subsequent development and commitment of the melanoblast, concomitant expression of the receptors for fibroblasts growth factor (FGFR2), endothelin-B (EDNRB), and steel factor (cKIT) also appears essential for the continued survival of migrating melanoblasts [38].
  • Reexpression of FGFR2 competes with FGFR1 for the immediate substrate FGFR substrate 2 to impede signaling upstream of the BRAF/MAPK pathway [39].
