Transport of Exogenous Growth Factors and Cytokines to the Cytosol and to the Nucleus

Abstract: In recent years a number of growth factors, cytokines, protein hormones, and other proteins have been found in the nucleus after having been added externally to cells. This review evaluates the evidence that translocation takes place and discusses possible mechanisms. As a demonstration of the principle that extracellular proteins can penetrate cellular membranes and reach the cytosol, a brief overview of the penetration mechanism of protein toxins with intracellular sites of action is given. Then problems and… Show more

“…However, action and behavior of FGF-1 may not be those of typical cytokines that are secreted and react with target cells by inducing intracellular signals. It does not have a signal peptide, synthesized and located in cytosol (36), so that its release from cells is mediated by an unknown mechanism (37). It has a nuclear translocational sequence, and deletion of this domain results in loss of stimulation of DNA synthesis but not induction of signals (38).…”

“…The nuclear location of FGFR-3-IIIc suggests FGF-2 could carry out its functions via a nuclear route instead of the typical membrane tyrosine receptor kinase cascade pathway. Actually, nuclear translocation of FGFR-1, FGFR-3, and FGFR-4 have previously been reported in several other tissues (Klingenberg et al, 2000;Zammit et al, 2001;Olsnes et al, 2003). Different types of nuclear FGFRs could interact directly with nuclear receptors to execute selectivity of gene activation and achieve different biological functions (Peng et al, 2002;Johnson et al, 2004;Reilly et al, 2004).…”

“…A route to the cytosol has been established for several proteins that enter cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis, most notably diphtheria toxin, and also anthrax toxin, Clostridium botulinum C2 toxin, tetanus and botulinum neurotoxins (44,45), and several growth factors (46,47). For all these proteins, transfer to the cytosol requires transport to acidic late endosomes-lysosomes.…”
