Disease relevance of Fgf7

 

High impact information on Fgf7

  • In addition, KGF increased the mRNA levels of the transcription factors CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) and C/EBPdelta as well as SREBP-1c (ADD-1), but not PPARgamma [5].
  • We developed culture conditions in which keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) stimulates fatty acid and phospholipid synthesis [5].
  • In summary, KGF stimulates lipogenesis in type II cells by a coordinated expression of lipogenic enzymes and transport proteins regulated by C/EBP isoforms and SREBP-1c [5].
  • KGF stimulated acetate incorporation into phosphatidylcholine, disaturated phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylglycerol more than 5% rat serum alone [5].
  • 6 h after administration, immunoreactive KGF was observed within the lung parenchyma and along alveolar epithelial cell membranes [6].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Fgf7

 

Biological context of Fgf7

 

Anatomical context of Fgf7

  • We hypothesized that KGF may protect the lung not only by inducing proliferation but also by promoting epithelial repair via enhanced epithelial cell migration [16].
  • KGF reduced cytoskeleton stiffness as measured by magnetic twisting cytometry and increased cell motility (5.8 +/- 0.42 microm/h with KGF vs 3.7 +/- 0.41 microm/h in controls) [16].
  • KGF acted primarily by inducing lamellipodia emission (73.2 +/- 3.9% of KGF-treated cells had lamellipodia vs 61.3 +/- 3.4% of control cells) and increasing their relative surface area (59 +/- 2.7% with KGF vs 48 +/- 2.0% in controls) [16].
  • To further delineate KGF properties as a mesenchymal mediator, we wondered about its possibility to relay glucocorticoid-stimulating activity on the synthesis of the phospholipid moiety of surfactant in fetal lung fibroblasts [17].
  • Here, we investigated, among the factors produced by lung mesenchyme, the part attributable to KGF in the control of surfactant synthesis [17].
