Fibroblast growth factor-2-induced cardioprotection against myocardial infarction occurs via the interplay between nitric oxide, protein kinase signaling, and ATP-sensitive potassium channels

Abstract: Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2) protects the heart from ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury via a vast network of protein kinases. In the heart, downstream effectors of these FGF2-triggered signals have not yet been identified. It is hypothesized that nitric oxide (NO) signaling and ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel activity are key effectors of protein kinases activated by FGF2-mediated cardioprotection. Hearts with a cardiac-specific overexpression of FGF2 (FGF2 Tg) were subjected to I-R injury in the… Show more

“…42,43 Here, we show that ticagrelor, but not clopidogrel, attenuates the increase in MIP-2 4 weeks after myocardial infarction. However, FGF-2 induces cardioprotection, 44 has a role as a chemotactic factor for stem cell homing after myocardial injury, 45 induces angiogenesis, 46,47 and improves remodeling after myocardial infarction in the rat. [48][49][50] The significance of the ticagrelorinduced attenuation and clopidogrel-induced normalization of the increase in FGF-2 levels 4 weeks after infarction is unclear.…”

“…L5-LDL isolated from these patients has demonstrated the ability to induce endothelial dysfunction and injury. In cultured vascular endothelial cells, L5-LDL induces apoptosis by inhibiting the expression of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2) (8,10,49), a pleiotropic protein that maintains a normal endothelial physiology and protects against myocardial infarction (11,27,28). L5-LDL also mediates inflammatory effects in vascular cells during the progression of atherosclerosis (17).…”

“…bFGF is an important molecule that has demonstrated its usefulness in terms of regenerative medicine in a broad range of applications. 29,30 As with previous proteins that demonstrated enhanced bioactivity after multivalent conjugation, 26,27 oligomerization of bFGF is an endogenous mechanism to modulate its function in vivo . 31 Dimerization is key to bFGF activity, as it leads to FGFR dimerization and activation.…”
