Fibroblastgrowthfactor(FGF)-2,alsoknownasbasicFGF(FGFb),isapowerfulstimulatorofangiogenesisinvivo,inadditiontobeingapleiotropicregulatoroftheproliferation,migration,differentiation,andsurvivalofmanycelltypesinvitro,includingendothelialcells,smoothmusclecells,andpericytes. Itiscapableofinducinganangiogenicresponsebothinvivoandinvitro.BothbasicandacidicFGFs,aheparin-bindingfamilyofstructurallyrelatedcytokines,arewidelyexpressedduringembryonicdevelopmentandnormalwoundhealing,aswellasinsuchangioproliferativediseasesascanceranddiabetes.Principle:
