There is a synergistic effect between fibronectin and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) on osteoblast cell adhesion through an extracellular, signal-regulated kinase pathway. Here we describe the engineering of a fusion protein containing fibronectin fragment (FNIII9-10) connected to the COOH-terminus of FGF-2. Purified FGF2-FNIII9-10 fusion protein exhibited a significant increase of cell adhesion and proliferation of MG63 cells compared with FNIII9-10 alone (p < 0.05).
纤连蛋白与成纤维细胞生长因子2(FGF-2)通过细胞外信号调节激酶途径对成骨细胞黏附具有协同作用。在此,我们描述了一种融合蛋白的构建,该融合蛋白包含连接到FGF-2羧基末端的纤连蛋白片段(FNIII9-10)。与单独的FNIII9-10相比,纯化的FGF2-FNIII9-10融合蛋白显著增加了MG63细胞的黏附和增殖(p < 0.05)。
