Kuhn LT, Peng T, Gronowicz G, Hurley MM. Endogenous FGF-2 levels impact FGF-2/BMP-2 growth factor delivery dosing in aged murine calvarial bone defects. J Biomed Mater Res A 2021; 109:2545-2555. [PMID: 34173706 PMCID: PMC9943554 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.a.37249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Revised: 05/20/2021] [Accepted: 06/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Bone repair in elderly mice has been shown to be improved or negatively impacted by supplementing the highly osteogenic bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) with fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). To better predict the outcome of FGF-2 supplementation, we investigated whether endogenous levels of FGF-2 play a role in optimal dosing of FGF-2 for augmenting BMP-2 activity in elderly mice. In vivo calvarial bone defect studies in Fgf2 knockout mice with wildtype controls were conducted with the growth factors delivered in a highly localized manner from a biomimetic calcium phosphate/polyelectrolyte multilayer coating applied to a bone graft substitute. Endogenous FGF-2 levels were measured in old mice versus young and found to decrease with age. Optimal dosing for improving bone defect repair correlated with levels of endogenous FGF-2, with a larger dose of FGF-2 required to have a positive effect on bone healing in the Fgf2 knockout mice. The same dose in wildtype old mice, with higher levels of FGF-2, promoted chondrogenesis and increased osteoclast activity. The results suggest a personalized medicine approach, based on a knowledge of endogenous levels of FGF-2, should guide FGF-2 supplementation in order to avoid provoking excessive bone resorption and cartilage formation, both of which inhibited calvarial bone repair.

Abstract
Growing evidences suggest that the fibroblast growth factor/FGF receptor (FGF/FGFR) signaling has crucial roles in a multitude of processes during embryonic development and adult homeostasis by regulating cellular lineage commitment, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis of various types of cells. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of FGF signaling and its roles in organ development, injury repair, and the pathophysiology of spectrum of diseases, which is a consequence of FGF signaling dysregulation, including cancers and chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this context, the agonists and antagonists for FGF-FGFRs might have therapeutic benefits in multiple systems.
