摘要
Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 occurs in different isoforms representing different translation products of a single mRNA. We have previously shown that the high molecular weight FGF-2 isoforms (21, 23 kD) stimulated survival- and neurite-promoting activities and protective effects on Cultured embryonic dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the substantia nigra (Neuroscience 100 (2000) 73). In this study the expression of FGF-2 isoforms in the striatum and substantia nigra was analyzed by Western blot in adult intact rats and following complete unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesion. In intact rats, all three FGF-2 isoforms (18, 21, 23 kD) are expressed. Neurotoxin-mediated lesion of nigral DA neurons revealed no change of the FGF-2 isoform expression pattern in the nigrostriatal system. Additionally, the FGF receptors 1, 2 and 3 are expressed in these tissues and displayed no alterations after 6-OHDA injection as demonstrated by RT-PCR. The presence of all three FGF-2 isoforms and the FGFR 1-3, together with the previous demonstrated neurotrophic effects of FGF-2 on dopaminergic neurons, suggest a physiological function of the FGF-2 isoforms in the nigrostriatal system.
