Abstract

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are believed to be vital for limb outgrowth and patterning during embryonic development. Although the effect of FGFs on the formation of the skeletal elements has been studied in detail, their effect on the development of the limb musculature is still uncertain. In this study, we used Blindwell chemotactic chambers to examine the effect of FGF-2 and FGF-4 on the motility of myogenic cells obtained from the proximal region of the day 11.5 mouse forelimbs. The limb myogenic cells were found to be chemotactically attracted to FGF-2 and FGF-4 at 10-50 ng/ml. Both FGFs increased myogenic cell migration in a dose-dependent manner, with maximal responses attained at 1-50 ng/ml for FGF-2 and at 10 ng/ml for FGF-4; however, FGF-2 was found to be a more potent chemoattractant than FGF-4. It was possible to inhibit the myogenic cells' response to FGF-2 and FGF-4 by the addition of the appropriate neutralizing antibody. The effects of FGF-2 on cell migration were further investigated by loading this cytokine into Affi-Gel blue beads and transplanting them into day 11.5 forelimb buds. The results showed that FGF-2 attracted DiI-labelled proximal cells to migrate toward the implanted beads and that the migrat...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
