RESUMO

We have previously shown that the inhibition of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling induced endodermal gene expression in the animal cap and caused the expansion of the endodermal mass in Xenopus embryos. However, we still do not know whether or not the alteration of FGF signaling controls embryonic cell fate, or when FGF signal blocking is required for endoderm formation in Xenopus. Here, we show that FGF signal blocking in embryonic cells causes their descendants to move into the endodermal region and to express endodermal genes. It is also interesting that blocking FGF signaling between fertilization and embryonic stage 10.5 promotes endoderm formation, but persistent FGF signaling blocking after stage 10.5 restricts endoderm formation and differentiation.

RESUMO

The synthetic peptide Ac-WFVGLKKNGSSKRGPRT-NH2,related to the human FGF-1 sequence, was shown to be mitogenic upon Balb/c 3T3 fibroblasts in culture (ED50=10-20 muM) and to compete with the growth factor for cellular binding (ID50 = 30-50 muM). The results described suggest that the mitogenic activity of the peptide is dependent on the presence of the residues 122-127 (WFVGLK) in its structure. Also, its affinity for the cellular receptors seems to be dependent on the presence of residues that are important for FGF-heparin binding such as K127, K133 and R137.
