Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 (Fgf1), also known as acidic FGF (aFGF), is involved in the regulation of various biological processes, ranging from development to disease pathogenesis. It is a single chain polypeptide and is highly expressed in adult brain and kidney tissues. Its expression has been shown to be directed by multiple tissue-specific promoters, which generate transcripts of varying lengths. During development the Fgf1 gene is widely expressed, including in the neural tube, heart and lung. Mouse mutants for this gene are normal under standard laboratory conditions. However, when Fgf1 mutants are exposed to a high fat diet, an aggressive diabetic phenotype has been reported, along with aberrant adipose tissue expansion. Ongoing research on FGF1 and its signalling pathways holds promise for greater understanding of developmental processes as well as the development of novel therapeutic interventions for diseases including diabetes.
期刊介绍:
Differentiation is a multidisciplinary journal dealing with topics relating to cell differentiation, development, cellular structure and function, and cancer. Differentiation of eukaryotes at the molecular level and the use of transgenic and targeted mutagenesis approaches to problems of differentiation are of particular interest to the journal.
The journal will publish full-length articles containing original work in any of these areas. We will also publish reviews and commentaries on topics of current interest.
The principal subject areas the journal covers are: • embryonic patterning and organogenesis
• human development and congenital malformation
• mechanisms of cell lineage commitment
• tissue homeostasis and oncogenic transformation
• establishment of cellular polarity
• stem cell differentiation
• cell reprogramming mechanisms
• stability of the differentiated state
• cell and tissue interactions in vivo and in vitro
• signal transduction pathways in development and differentiation
• carcinogenesis and cancer
• mechanisms involved in cell growth and division especially relating to cancer
• differentiation in regeneration and ageing
• therapeutic applications of differentiation processes.
