To characterize the effects of acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) in mouse peritoneal macrophages, the effects of aFGF fragments on phagocytosis were examined. Fragments that were tested included aFGF(1-15), aFGF(1-20), aFGF(1-29), Ala16-aFGF(1-29), aFGF(9-29) and aFGF(114-140). aFGF(1-29) induced an enhancement of phagocytosis in a dose-dependent manner and was more effective than any other fragments tested. Even in Ca2+-and Mg2+-free solutions, phagocytosis was enhanced by aFGF(1-29). However, the enhancement induced by aFGF(1-29) was completely inhibited in the presence of mannan (4 mg/ml). Furthermore, the enhancement of phagocytosis by aFGF(1-29) was suppressed by heparin (100 microg/ml). The results of the present study suggest that the active region of aFGF that is responsible for the enhancement of phagocytosis corresponds to residues 15-29 and that phagocytosis, which is modulated by aFGF, is independent of extracellular Ca2+ and is mediated by mannose receptors.
为了表征酸性成纤维细胞生长因子(aFGF)对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞的影响,研究了aFGF片段对吞噬作用的影响。所测试的片段包括aFGF(1 - 15)、aFGF(1 - 20)、aFGF(1 - 29)、Ala16 - aFGF(1 - 29)、aFGF(9 - 29)和aFGF(114 - 140)。aFGF(1 - 29)以剂量依赖方式诱导吞噬作用增强,且比所测试的任何其他片段都更有效。即使在无Ca2 +和Mg2 +的溶液中,aFGF(1 - 29)也能增强吞噬作用。然而,在存在甘露聚糖(4 mg/ml)的情况下,aFGF(1 - 29)诱导的增强作用被完全抑制。此外,肝素(100 μg/ml)可抑制aFGF(1 - 29)对吞噬作用的增强。本研究结果表明,aFGF中负责增强吞噬作用的活性区域对应于第15 - 29位氨基酸残基,并且aFGF调节的吞噬作用独立于细胞外Ca2 +,由甘露糖受体介导。
