  • Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) plays roles in angiogenesis, wound healing, and embryonic development via the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. It is well known that ectopic expression of FGFR1 is associated with cancer development. To characterize the function of FGFR1 in the normal and cancer cell lines DF-1 and DT40, respectively, we performed FGFR1 knockdown by RNA interference. In the DT40 cells, FGFR1 knockdown induced upregulation of FGFR2 and FGFR3 expression, downregulation of pro-apoptosis-related genes, and upregulation of anti-apoptosis-related genes. However, in DF-1 cells, FGFR1 knockdown induced upregulation of pro-apoptosis-related genes and downregulation of anti-apoptosis-related genes. Our data suggest that repression of FGFR1 induced upregulation of other FGF receptors and anti-apoptosis-related genes in cancer cells and pro-apoptosis-related genes in normal cells.

  • Objective : The aim of this study was to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 2 gene and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) genes are associated with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). Methods : A total of 157 patients with OPLL and 222 controls were recruited for a case control association study investigating the relationship between SNPs of FGF2, FGFR1, FGFR2 and OPLL. To identify the association among polymorphisms of FGF2 gene, FGFR1, FGFR2 genes and OPLL, the authors genotyped 9 SNPs of the genes (FGF2 : rs1476217, rs308395, rs308397, and rs3747676; FGFR1 : rs13317 and rs2467531; FGFR2 : rs755793, rs1047100, and rs3135831) using direct sequencing method. SNPs data were analyzed using the SNPStats, SNPAnalyzer, Haploview, and Helixtree programs. Results : Of the SNPs, a SNP (rs13317) in FGFR1 was significantly associated with the susceptibility of OPLL in the codominant (odds ratio=1.35, 95% confidence interval=1.01-1.81, p=0.048) and recessive model (odds ratio=2.00, 95% confidence interval=1.11-3.59, p=0.020). The analysis adjusted for associated condition showed that the SNP of rs1476217 (p=0.03), rs3747676 (p=0.01) polymorphisms in the FGF2 were associated with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and rs1476217 (p=0.01) in the FGF2 was associated with ossification of the ligament flavum (OLF). Conclusion : The results of the present study revealed that an FGFR1 SNP was significantly associated with OPLL and that a SNP in FGF2 was associated with conditions that were comorbid with OPLL (DISH and OLF).

  • 두개봉합부의 조기융합으로 알려진 Craniosynostosis는 두개봉합부 주위 조직들 사이의 조화로운 상호작용이 파괴되었을 때 야기될 수 있다. 흥미롭게도 FGF receptor들, 특히 FGFR2의 point mutation은 여러 가지 형태의 craniosynostosis 증후군과 연관되어 있어, FGFR가 두개봉합부를 포함한 두개골 성장발달과정에 중요한 유전자임을 시사하고 있다. Mouse 두개봉합부의 초기형태발생시 FGFR 유전자들의 기능을 알아보기위해, in situ hybridization 방법을 이용하여 FGFR2(BEK) 및 골아세포분화의 초기표지자인 osteopontin이, 태생기(E15-18)에서 출생후(P1-P3)까지, 두개골의 시상봉합부에서의 발현양상을 조사하였다. FGFR2(BEK)은 osteogenic fronts에 강하게 발현되었으며, osteopontin은 parietal bone의 exo-, endocranial부위에서 발현되었으나, parietal bone의 성장가장자리인 osteogenic front에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 두개봉합부에서의 FGF-mediated FGFR signaling의 역할을 좀더 심도깊게 조사하기위해 E15.5 mouse의 두개골을 이용하여 in vitro 실험을 시행하였다. 흥미롭게도 osteogenic fronts 및 시상봉합부의 간엽조직 중앙에 FGF2-soaked beads를 점적하여 36시간 기관배양한 결과, bead주위 조직들의 두께 및 세포수가 증가되었으며, osteogenic fronts 상에 FGF4 beads를 올려놓은 경우, 시상두개봉합부 중앙에 점적된 FGF4 beads나 BSA control beads에 비해, 골성장이 촉진되어 시상두개봉합부의 부분적인 소멸을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이와 더불어 FGF2 beads는 osteopontin 및 Msx1 유전자의 발현을 유도하였다. 이 결과들을 종합해 볼 때, FGF-mediated FGFR signaling이 발육중인 두개골과 두개봉합부에서 세포의 증식과 분화의 균형을 조절하는데 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있음을 시사해주고 있으며, 이 과정중 FGF signaling이 osteopontin 및 Msx1 유전자의 발현을 조절하므로써 막내골성장 및 두개봉합부의 유지기전에 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 유전적으로 결정되는 두개안면 기형의 발생 기전을 밝히기 위해 관련된 유전자의 기능 변화에 의한 효과를 이해하는 것이 필수적이다. 섬유아세포성장인자수용체-2 (FGFR2)의 활성형 돌연변이가 어퍼트 및 크루즌 증후군에서의 봉합의 조기유합의 원인이 된다고 알려져 있으나 인류에서는 다양한 개인차가 존재하므로 임상적으로 정의된 두 증후군에서의 유전형-표현형의 상관관계에 대해서는 의문이 제기되어 왔다. 본 연구의 목적은 어퍼트(Pro253Arg)및 크루즌(Cys278Phe) 돌연변이를 갖는 골특이성 FGFR2를 발현하도록 제작된 형질변환 쥐에서 결과적인 표현형의 차이를 분석하여 유전형에 의한 기형 형성의 인과관계를 추정하기 위한 것이다. 유전자 조작을 하지 않은 정상군과 정상 FGFR2 유전자를 가진 군을 대조군으로 하여 육안 관찰 및 micro-CT를 이용한 형태계측학적 방법으로 주로 전방두개 및 전두개저 부위의 이상을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 어퍼트 및 크루즌 돌연변이를 갖는 각각의 형질변환 쥐는 두개 봉합의 유합과 전후방적 두부 길이 감소를 공히 보였으나 어퍼트 형질변환 쥐에서만 전치부 반대교합이 나타났다. 또한 어퍼트 개체는 크루즌 개체 및 대조군에 비해 전방두개 및 전두개저 굴곡에 있어서 정상군과 비교해 차이를 나타냈으며 이는 유합을 보이는 봉합의 부위 및 순서에 있어서의 차이에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다. 둘째, 정상 FGFR2 유전자를 주입한 형질변환 쥐는 정상적인 두개안면 형태를 보였다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 어퍼트 및 크루즌 돌연변이는 각각의 유전형에 특이한 두개안면 기형을 유발할 것으로 보이며 정상 FGFR2의 발현 강도보다는 기능의 이상이 두개골 유합과 관련이 있는 것으로 사료된다. 변형된 FGFR2와 각 봉합에서의 기능과의 상관성은 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.EX> 와이어에서 열처리만 시행한 실험군이 열처리를 시행하지 않은 군보다 더 낮은 austenite finish ($A_f$) 온도를 보였다. $0.018"\;{\times}\;0.025"$$0.0215"0.028"$ 와이어에서 열처리를 시행하여 굴곡을 부여한 실험군은 열처리만 시행한 실험군과 열처리를 시행하지 않은 대조군에 비해 부하-변위 곡선이 상방 이동되었으며, 열처리 시간을 1초 증가시켜 굴곡을 부여한 실험군에서 가장 높은 부하-변위 곡선을 나타냈다. $0.018"\;{\times}\;0.025"$ 그리고 $0.0215"\;{\times}\;0.028"$ 와이어에서 $A_f$ 온도는 열처리 시간을 1초 증가시켜 굴곡을 부여한 실험군에서 가장 낮게 관찰되었고 열처리를 시행하여 굴곡을 부여한 실험군, 열처리만 시행한 실험군 그리고 열처리를 시행하지 않은 대조군 순으로 높게 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합할 때, 임상에서 니켈-티타늄 합금 와이어에 굴곡을 부여하기 위해 열처리하는 경우 초탄성 특성은 유지될 수 있으나, 부하-변위 곡선의 상방 증가가 나타나므로, 와이어에 의한 교정력이 증가될 수 있음에 유의하여야 한다. $day^{-1}$인 인공습지), scenario 2(면적 4.2ha인 저류지)가 각각 연평균 6.9%, 4.8%, 7.1%의 감소를 보였다.

  • Fetal bovine serum (FBS), which contains various nutrients, comprises 20% of the growth medium for cell-cultivated meat. However, ethical, cost, and scientific issues, necesitates identification of alternatives. In this study, we investigated commercially manufactured serum-free media capable of culturing Hanwoo satellite cells (HWSCs) to identify constituent proliferation enhancing factors. Six different serum-free media were selected, and the HWSC proliferation rates in these serum-free media were compared with that of control medium supplemented with 20% FBS. Among the six media, cell proliferation rates were higher only in StemFlexTM Medium (SF) and Mesenchymal Stem Cell Growth Medium DXF (MS) than in the control medium. SF and MS contain high fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) concentrations, and we found upregulated FGF2 protein expression in cells cultured in SF or MS. Activation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1)-mediated signaling pathway and stimulation of muscle satellite cell proliferation-related factors were confirmed by the presence of related biomarkers (FGFR1, FRS2, Raf1, ERK, p38, Pax7, and MyoD) as indicated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and immunocytochemistry. Moreover, PD173074, an FGFR1 inhibitor suppressed cell proliferation in SF and MS and downregulated related biomarkers (FGFR1, FRS2, Raf1, and ERK). The promotion of cell proliferation in SF and MS was therefore attributed to FGF2, which indicates that FGFR1 activation in muscle satellite cells may be a target for improving the efficiency of cell-cultivated meat production.

  • Background: Urinary bladder cancer is a common malignancy in the West and ranks as the $7^{th}$ most common cancer in our region of Kashmir, India. FGFR3 mutations are frequent in superficial urothelial carcinoma (UC) differing from the RAS gene mutational pattern. The aim of this study was to analyze the frequency and association of FGFR3 and RAS gene mutations in UC cases. Materials and Methods: Paired tumor and adjacent normal tissue specimens of 65 consecutive UC patients were examined. DNA preparations were evaluated for the occurrence of FGFR3 and RAS gene mutations by PCR-SCCP and DNA sequencing. Results: Somatic point mutations of FGFR3 were identified in 32.3% (21 of 65). The pattern and distribution were significantly associated with low grade/stage (p<0.05). The overall mutations in exon 1 and 2 in all the forms of RAS genes aggregated to 21.5% and showed no association with any clinic-pathological parameters. In total, 53.8% (35 of 65) of the tumors studied had mutations in either a RAS or FGFR3 gene, but these were totally mutually exclusive in and none of the samples showed both the mutational events in mutually exclusive RAS and FGFR3. Conclusions: We conclude that RAS and FGFR3 mutations in UC are mutually exclusive and non-overlapping events which reflect activation of oncogenic pathways through different elements.

  • Pfeiffer syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by coronal craniosynostosis, brachycephaly, mid-facial hypoplasia, and broad and deviated thumbs and great toes. Pfeiffer syndrome occurs in approximately 1:100,000 live births. Clinical manifestations and molecular genetic testing are important to confirm the diagnosis. Mutations of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 ($FGFR1$) gene or $FGFR2$ gene can cause Pfeiffer syndrome. Here, we describe a case of Pfeiffer syndrome with a novel c833_834GC>TG mutation (encoding Cys278Leu) in the $FGFR2$ gene associated with a coccygeal anomaly, which is rare in Pfeiffer syndrome.

  • Craniosynostosis is defined as the premature fusion of one or more of the cranial sutures. It leads not only to secondary distortion of skull shape but to various complications including neurologic, ophthalmic and respiratory dysfunction. Craniosynostosis is very heterogeneous in terms of its causes, presentation, and management. Both environmental factors and genetic factors are associated with development of craniosynostosis. Nonsyndromic craniosynostosis accounts for more than 70% of all cases. Syndromic craniosynostosis with a certain genetic cause is more likely to involve multiple sutures or bilateral coronal sutures. FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR1, TWIST1 and EFNB1 genes are major causative genes of genetic syndromes associated with craniosynostosis. Although most of syndromic craniosynostosis show autosomal dominant inheritance, approximately half of patients are de novo cases. Apert syndrome, Pfeiffer syndrome, Crouzon syndrome, and Antley-Bixler syndrome are related to mutations in FGFR family (especially in FGFR2), and mutations in FGFRs can be overlapped between different syndromes. Saethre-Chotzen syndrome, Muenke syndrome, and craniofrontonasal syndrome are representative disorders showing isolated coronal suture involvement. Compared to the other types of craniosynostosis, single gene mutations can be more frequently detected, in one-third of coronal synostosis patients. Molecular diagnosis can be helpful to provide adequate genetic counseling and guidance for patients with syndromic craniosynostosis.

  • Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) belongs to the family of receptor tyrosine kinase. They play important roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, development, migration, survival, wound healing, haematopoiesis and tumorigenesis. FGFRs are reported to cause several types of cancers in humans which make it an important drug target. In the current study, HQSAR analysis was performed on a series of recently reported 1H-Pyrazolo [3,4-b]pyridine derivatives as FGFR antagonists. The model was developed with Atom (A) and bond (B) connection (C), chirality (Ch), hydrogen (H) and donor/acceptor (DA) parameters and with different set of atom counts to improve the model. A reasonable HQSAR model ($q^2=0.701$, SDEP=0.654, NOC=5, $r^2=0.926$, SEE=0.325, BHL=71) was generated which showed good predictive ability. The contribution map depicted the atom contribution in inhibitory effect. A contribution map for the most active compound (compound 24) indicated that hydrogen and nitrogen atoms in the side chains of ring B as well as hydrogen atoms in the side chain of ring C and the nitrogen atom in the ring D contributed positively to the activity in inhibitory effect whereas, the lowest active compound (compound 04) showed negative contribution to inhibitory effect. Thus results of our study can provide insights in the designing potent and selective FGFR kinase inhibitors.

  • Apert 증후군은 두부와 손발의 골 및 연부조직의 성장장애로 인해 발생하는 선천적 질환으로 두개골의 기형과 사지의 대칭적 합지증을 특징으로 하는 드문 질환이다. Apert증후군은 변이된 FGFR2 유전자에 의해 발생한다고 알려져 있으며 세계적으로 S252W 돌연변이가 가장 흔하고, P253R돌연변이는 드물게 보고되고 있다. 국내에서는 엑손IIIa에서 S252W 돌연변이가 보고된 경우가 있다. 본 증례에서는 두 개 봉합선의 조기 융합으로 인한 두부의 특징적인 기형, 손과 발의 심한 합지증을 동반하는 전형적인 Apert 증후군 영아에서 FGFR2 유전자의 8번째 엑손부위에서의 P253R 돌연변이가 확인되었기에 보고하는 바이다. 향후 유전자-표현자형의 대한 연구, 발생 기전 및 치료와 관련한 분자 생물학적 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
