Basic fibroblast growth factor in human rhabdomyosarcoma cells: implications for the proliferation and neovascularization of myoblast-derived tumors
Abstract
Cultured human embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma cells express the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene and they produced bFGF, which is apparently composed of two microheterogenous forms with M/sub r/s of 16,500 and 17,200, respectively. bFGF was purified by radioreceptor binding assays or cross-linking experiments. bFGF derived from the rhabdomyosarcoma cells stimulates their own proliferation and that of human or bovine vascular endothelial cells. It is conceivable that the rhabdomyosarcoma-derived bFGF stimulates the growth and neovascularization of human rhabdomyosarcomas and that it may thereby contribute to the development of these tumors.
