Broad spectrum mitogenic and non mitogenic activities of FGFs inspired us to study its protecting effects on tissue injuries in ischemia reperfusion condition. We found that systemic administration of aFGF after reperfusion onset prevented severe skeletal muscle injuries. In rats treated with aKGF, the tissue edema was reduced significantly, the tissue viability was increased, and the muscle fibers contained more succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and adenosine triphosphatasc (ATPase). The pathological results supported the concept of improved prevention with aFGF treatment. The possible tissue protection by aFGF may come from its ability to regulate the concentration of evtra- and intracellular calcium ion. Besides, it may moderate other Ca2+ dependent enzyme conversion processes. Also, it may take part in the vascular tone regulation under ischemia and reperfusion conditions. These results suggest further study of tissue ischemia prevention with FGF and its possible mechanisms in the future.展开更多

After 4-hour ischemia, about 40% of skeletal muscle fibers lost their bFGF immunoreactivity. Muscles which experienced 4-hour ischemia and 24 reperfusion had only a weaker bFGF immunoreactivity. The pathological results supported the concept of destroyed cell connection and fiber necrosis in ischemia and reperfused muscles. The mechanisms involved in this reduced concentration of bFGF in wounded muscles included oxygen radical activation, inflammatory response and reduced secretion of endogenous bFGF. These results were only partially compatible with the established mitogenic role of this protein and suggested that a reduction of endogenous FGF may partly contribute to a delay in wound healing.展开更多
