Associations of FGF7 with chemical compounds

  • 17beta-Estradiol stimulated the expression of KGF (P < 0.05), whereas catechol estrogens had no effect (P > 0.05) [6].
  • To identify regions in KGF that contribute to heparin and tyrosine kinase receptor interactions, nine peptides spanning defined motifs in the predicted structure of KGF were synthesized, and their heparin and receptor binding properties were analyzed [7].
  • Heparin and heparan sulfate in combination with KGF may thus have important roles in the regulation of epithelial cell collagenase under conditions such as inflammation and wound healing [10].
  • In the operated ureter elevated expression of keratinocyte growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, TGF-alpha, TGF-beta 1, TGF-beta 3 and integrin was detected 2 hours after the operation and sustained for 7 to 14 days after the procedure [11].
  • CLA and n-3 PUFA acted synergistically to upregulate colonic KGF expression in DSS-challenged pigs but n-3 PUFA blocked CLA-induced PPAR gamma activation [12].
