Abstract
Growth factors belonging to the FGF family play important roles in tissue and organ repair after trauma. In this review, I discuss the regulation by FGFs of the aspects of cellular behavior important for reparative processes. In particular, I focus on the FGF-dependent regulation of cell proliferation, cell stemness, de-differentiation, inflammation, angiogenesis, cell senescence, cell death, and the production of proteases. In addition, I review the available literature on the enhancement of FGF expression and secretion in damaged tissues resulting in the increased FGF supply required for tissue repair.

Cytokine Growth Factor Rev 2020; 57:93-111.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factors 1 and 2 (FGF1 and FGF2) are mainly considered as ligands of surface receptors through which they regulate a broad spectrum of biological processes. They are secreted in non-canonical way and, unlike other growth factors, they are able to translocate from the endosome to the cell interior. These unique features, as well as the role of the intracellular pool of FGF1 and FGF2, are far from being fully understood. An increasing number of reports address this problem, focusing on the intracellular interactions of FGF1 and 2. Here, we summarize the current state of knowledge of the FGF1 and FGF2 binding partners inside the cell and the possible role of these interactions. The partner proteins are grouped according to their function, including proteins involved in secretion, cell signaling, nucleocytoplasmic transport, binding and processing of nucleic acids, ATP binding, and cytoskeleton assembly. An in-depth analysis of the network of these binding partners could indicate novel, non-classical functions of FGF1 and FGF2 and uncover an additional level of a fine control of the well-known FGF-regulated cellular processes.

Abstract
FGF1 is a nonclassically released growth factor that regulates carcinogenesis, angiogenesis, and inflammation. In vitro and in vivo, FGF1 export is stimulated by cell stress. Upon stress, FGF1 is transported to the plasma membrane where it localizes prior to transmembrane translocation. To determine which proteins participate in the submembrane localization of FGF1 and its export, we used immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry to identify novel proteins that associate with FGF1 during heat shock. The heat shock-dependent association of FGF1 with the large protein AHNAK2 was observed. Heat shock induced the translocation of FGF1 and AHNAK2 to the cytoskeletal fraction. In heat-shocked cells, FGF1 and the C-terminal fragment of AHNAK2 colocalized with F-actin in the vicinity of the cell membrane. Depletion of AHNAK2 resulted in a drastic decrease of stress-induced FGF1 export but did not affect spontaneous FGF2 export and FGF1 release induced by the inhibition of Notch signaling. Thus, AHNAK2 is an important element of the FGF1 nonclassical export pathway.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) is a heparin-binding proangiogenic protein. FGF1 lacks the conventional N-terminal signal peptide required for secretion through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi secretory pathway. FGF1 is released through a Cu(2+)-mediated nonclassical secretion pathway. The secretion of FGF1 involves the formation of a Cu(2+)-mediated multiprotein release complex (MRC) including FGF1, S100A13 (a calcium-binding protein) and p40 synaptotagmin (Syt1). It is believed that the binding of Cu(2+) to the C2B domain is important for the release of FGF1 into the extracellular medium. In this study, using a variety of biophysical studies, Cu(2+) and lipid interactions of the C2B domain of Syt1 were characterized. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments reveal that the C2B domain binds to Cu(2+) in a biphasic manner involving an initial endothermic and a subsequent exothermic phase. Fluorescence energy transfer experiments using Tb(3+) show that there are two Cu(2+)-binding pockets on the C2B domain, and one of these is also a Ca(2+)-binding site. Lipid-binding studies using ITC demonstrate that the C2B domain preferentially binds to small unilamellar vesicles of phosphatidyl serine (PS). Results of the differential scanning calorimetry and limited trypsin digestion experiments suggest that the C2B domain is marginally destabilized upon binding to PS vesicles. These results, for the first time, suggest that the main role of the C2B domain of Syt1 is to serve as an anchor for the FGF1 MRC on the membrane bilayer. In addition, the binding of the C2B domain to the lipid bilayer is shown to significantly decrease the binding affinity of the protein to Cu(2+). The study provides valuable insights on the sequence of structural events that occur in the nonclassical secretion of FGF1.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF-1) is a well characterized growth factor among the 22 members of the FGF superfamily in humans. It binds to all the four known FGF receptors and regulates a plethora of functions including cell growth, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and survival in different cell types. FGF-1 is involved in the regulation of diverse physiological processes such as development, angiogenesis, wound healing, adipogenesis, and neurogenesis. Deregulation of FGF-1 signaling is not only implicated in tumorigenesis but also is associated with tumor invasion and metastasis. Given the biomedical significance of FGFs and the fact that individual FGFs have different roles in diverse physiological processes, the analysis of signaling pathways induced by the binding of specific FGFs to their cognate receptors demands more focused efforts. Currently, there are no resources in the public domain that facilitate the analysis of signaling pathways induced by individual FGFs in the FGF/FGFR signaling system. Towards this, we have developed a resource of signaling reactions triggered by FGF-1/FGFR system in various cell types/tissues. The pathway data and the reaction map are made available for download in different community standard data exchange formats through NetPath and NetSlim signaling pathway resources.

Abstract
Many secreted polypeptide regulators of angiogenesis are devoid of signal peptides. These proteins are released through nonclassical pathways independent of endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. In most cases, the nonclassical protein export is induced by stress. It usually serves to stimulate repair or inflammation in damaged tissues. We review the secreted signal peptide-less regulators of angiogenesis and discuss the mechanisms and biological significance of their unconventional export.

NMR characterization of copper and lipid interactions of the C2B domain of synaptotagmin I-relevance to the non-classical secretion of the human acidic fibroblast growth factor (hFGF-1). BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-BIOMEMBRANES 2009; 1798:297-302.

Abstract
Human fibroblast growth factor (hFGF-1) is a approximately 17 kDa heparin binding cytokine. It lacks the conventional hydrophobic N-terminal signal sequence and is secreted through non-classical secretion routes. Under stress, hFGF-1 is released as a multiprotein complex consisting of hFGF-1, S100A13 (a calcium binding protein), and p40 synaptotagmin (Syt1). Copper (Cu(2+)) is shown to be required for the formation of the multiprotein hFGF-1 release complex (Landriscina et al. ,2001; Di Serio et al., 2008). Syt1, containing the lipid binding C2B domain, is believed to play an important role in the eventual export of the hFGF-1 across the lipid bilayer. In this study, we characterize Cu(2+) and lipid interactions of the C2B domain of Syt1 using multidimensional NMR spectroscopy. The results highlight how Cu(2+) appears to stabilize the protein bound to pS vesicles. Cu(2+) and lipid binding interface mapped using 2D (1)H-(15)N heteronuclear single quantum coherence experiments reveal that residues in beta-strand I contributes to the unique Cu(2+) binding site in the C2B domain. In the absence of metal ions, residues located in Loop II and beta-strand IV contribute to binding to unilamelar pS vesicles. In the presence of Cu(2+), additional residues located in Loops I and III appear to stabilize the protein-lipid interactions. The results of this study provide valuable information towards understanding the molecular mechanism of the Cu(2+)-induced non-classical secretion of hFGF-1.

Abstract
The shaping of neuronal circuits is essential during postnatal brain development. A window of neuronal remodeling by sensory experience typically occurs during a unique time in early life. The many types of behavior and perception, like human language, birdsong, hearing and vision are refined by experience during these distinct 'critical periods'. The onset of critical periods for vision is delayed in animals that remain in complete darkness from birth. It is then predicted that a 'messenger' within the visual pathway signals the amount of sensory experience that has occurred. Our recent results indicate that Otx2 homeoprotein, an essential morphogen for embryonic head formation, is reused later in life as this 'messenger' for critical period plasticity. The homeoprotein is stimulated by visual experience to propagate into the visual cortex, where it is internalized by GABAergic interneurons, especially Parvalbumin-positive cells (PV-cells). Otx2 promotes the maturation of PV-cells, consequently activating critical period onset in the visual cortex. Here, we discuss recent data that are beginning to illuminate the physiological function of non-cell autonomous homeoproteins, as well as the restriction of their transfer to PV-cells in vivo.

Abstract
Melanoma is a highly invasive tumor with elevated mortality rates. Progression and aggressiveness appear related to the achievement of an angiogenic phenotype. Melanoma cells express several angiogenic factors, including fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-1 and FGF-2. The autocrine production and release of FGFs and the subsequent activation of FGF receptors, have a central role in melanoma tumor progression. We demonstrated that FGF-1 is secreted from a human melanoma cell line, A375, under conditions of serum deprivation. The release of FGF-1 is inhibited by the copper chelator ammonium tetrathiomolybdate, suggesting a role of copper in the secretory pathway, and is triggered by activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt intracellular signaling. Interestingly, overexpression or activation of Akt has been correlated with poor prognosis in melanoma patients. Our data indicate a novel role for Akt in supporting the progression of human melanomas and advocate the need for new treatments targeting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, to control tumor development and progression.

Abstract
S100A13 is a 98-amino acid, calcium binding protein. It is known to participate in the non-classical secretion of signal peptide-less proteins, such as the acidic fibroblast growth factor. In this study, we investigate the lipid binding properties of S10013 using a number of biophysical techniques, including multidimensional NMR spectroscopy. Isothermal titration calorimetry and steady state fluorescence experiments show that apoS100A13 exhibits preferential binding to small unilamelar vesicles of l-phosphatidyl serine (pS). In comparison, Ca2+-bound S100A13 is observed to bind weakly to unilamelar vesicles (SUVs) of pS. Equilibrium thermal unfolding and limited trypsin digestion analysis reveal that apoS100A13 is significantly destabilized upon binding to SUVs of pS. Results of the far UV circular dichroism and ANS (8-anilino-1-napthalene sufonate) binding experiments indicate a subtle conformational change resulting in the increase in the solvent-accessible hydrophobic surface in the protein. Availability of the solvent-exposed hydrophobic surface(s) in apoS10013 facilitates its interaction with the lipid vesicles. Our data suggest that Ca2+ binding dictates the membrane binding affinity of S100A13. Based on the results of this study, a model describing the sequence of molecular events that possibly can occur during the non-classical secretion of FGF-1 is presented.

Abstract
Sphingosine kinase 1 catalyzes the formation of sphingosine-1-phosphate, a lipid mediator involved in the regulation of angiogenesis. Sphingosine kinase 1 is constitutively released from cells, even though it lacks a classical signal peptide sequence. Because copper-dependent non-classical stress-induced release of FGF1 also regulates angiogenesis, we questioned whether sphingosine kinase 1 is involved in the FGF1 release pathway. We report that (i) the coexpression of sphingosine kinase 1 with FGF1 inhibited the release of sphingosine kinase 1 at 37 degrees C; (ii) sphingosine kinase 1 was released at 42 degrees C in complex with FGF1; (iii) sphingosine kinase 1 null cells failed to release FGF1 at stress; (iv) sphingosine kinase 1 is a high affinity copper-binding protein which formed a complex with FGF1 in a cell-free system, and (v) sphingosine kinase 1 over expression rescued the release of FGF1 from inhibition by the copper chelator, tetrathiomolybdate. We propose that sphingosine kinase 1 is a component of the copper-dependent FGF1 release pathway.

Abstract
Epimorphin (also known as syntaxin 2) acts as an epithelial morphogen when secreted by stromal cells of the mammary gland, lung, liver, colon, pancreas and other tissues, but the same molecule functions within the cell to mediate membrane fusion. How this molecule, which lacks a signal sequence and contains a transmembrane domain at the C-terminus, translocates across the plasma membrane and is secreted to become a morphogen, and how it initiates morphogenic events is not clear. Here, we show that epimorphin is secreted through a non-classical mechanism, similar to that previously described for secretion of the leaderless protein FGF1, and we identify the key molecular elements responsible for translocation and secretion from the cell. We also show that secreted epimorphin binds to alphav-integrin-containing receptors on target epithelial cells, leading to activation of specific downstream signaling pathways and induction of epithelial morphogenesis. These findings provide key insight into how epimorphin functions as an epithelial morphogen.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)1 is released from cells as a constituent of a complex that contains the small calcium binding protein S100A13, and the p40 kDa form of synaptotagmin (Syt)1, through an ER-Golgi-independent stress-induced pathway. FGF1 and the other components of its secretory complex are signal peptide-less proteins. We examined their capability to interact with lipid bilayers by studying protein-induced carboxyfluorescein release from liposomes of different phospholipid (pL) compositions. FGF1, p40 Syt1, and S100A13 induced destabilization of liposomes composed of acidic but not of zwitterionic pL. We produced mutants of FGF1 and p40 Syt1, in which specific basic amino acid residues in the regions that bind acidic pL were substituted. The ability of these mutants to induce liposomes destabilization was strongly attenuated, and they exhibited drastically diminished spontaneous and stress-induced release. Apparently, the non-classical release of FGF1 and p40 Syt1 involves destabilization of membranes containing acidic pL.

Abstract
S100 proteins are Ca(2+)-binding polypeptides involved in the tumourigenesis of several human neoplasms. S100A13 is a key regulator of the stress-dependent release of FGF1, the prototype of the FGF protein family involved in angiogenesis. Indeed, S100A13 is a copper binding protein able to enhance the export of FGF1 in response to stress in vitro and to induce the formation of a multiprotein aggregate responsible for FGF1 release. We investigated the expression of S100A13 in human astrocytic gliomas in relation to tumour grading and vascularization. A series of 26 astrocytic gliomas was studied to evaluate microvessel density and to assess FGF1, S100A13 and VEGF-A expression. FGF1 was equally expressed in the vast majority of tumours, whereas S100A13 and VEGF-A were significantly up-regulated in high-grade vascularized gliomas. Moreover, both S100A13 and VEGF-A expression significantly correlated with microvessel density and tumour grading. These data suggest that the up-regulation of S100A13 and VEGF-A expression correlates with the activation of angiogenesis in high-grade human astrocytic gliomas.

Abstract
Since fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-1 lacks conventional amino-terminal signal peptide essential for endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi pathway, the mode of release of this polypeptide remains to be fully understood. We attempted to characterize the non-classical (non-vesicular) mode of FGF-1 release in the analyses using immunocytochemistry and immunoblot of conditioned medium (CM) from astrocytes. FGF-1 was completely released from astrocytes upon serum-deprivation stress in a Brefeldin A-insensitive manner. In the immunoprecipitation study using anti-FGF-1 IgG, S100A13 was identified to be the major protein co-eluted with FGF-1. The interaction between GST-FGF-1 and Strep-tag II-S100A13 was found to be Ca(2+)-sensitive, and to require the C-terminal 11 amino acid peptide sequence of S100A13. The overexpression of Delta88-98 mutant of S100A13 selectively inhibited the serum-deprivation stress-induced release of FGF-1, but not the release of S100A13 mutant from C6 glioma cells. However, amlexanox, anti-allergic drug whose target is S100A13, completely inhibited the stress-induced release of FGF-1 as well as S100A13. The stress-induced release of both proteins was also abolished by BAPTA-AM, an intracellular Ca(2+) chelating agent. The serum-deprivation caused Ca(2+) spikes in omega-conotoxin GVIA and thapsigargin-sensitive manner. All these results suggest that S100A13 is a cargo molecule for the serum-deprivation stress-induced non-classical release of FGF-1, and that its driving force of protein-protein interaction and release is possibly mediated by Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) coupled to N-type Ca(2+) channel activity.

Abstract
1. Kynurenic (KYNA) and quinolinic (QUIN) acids are neuroactive tryptophan metabolites formed along the kynurenine pathway: the first is considered a non-competitive antagonist and the second an agonist of glutamate receptors of NMDA type. The affinity of these compounds for glutamate receptors is, however, relatively low and does not explain KYNA neuroprotective actions in models of post-ischemic brain damage. 2. We evaluated KYNA effects on the release of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-1, a potent neurotrophic cytokine. Because KYNA exhibits a neuroprotective profile in vitro and in vivo, we anticipated that it could function as an autocrine/paracrine inducer of FGF-1 release. Studies were performed in several models of FGF-1 secretion (FGF-1 transfected NIH 3T3 cells exposed to heat shock, A375 melanoma cells exposed to serum starvation, growth factor deprived human endothelial cells). To our surprise, KYNA, at low concentration, inhibited FGF-1 release in all cellular models. QUIN, a compound having opposite effects on glutamate receptors, also reduced this release, but its potency was significantly lower than that of KYNA. 3. KYNA and QUIN also displayed a major stimulatory effect on the proliferation rate of mouse microglia and human glioblastoma cells, in vitro. 4. Our data suggest that minor changes of local KYNA concentration may modulate FGF-1 release, cell proliferation, and ultimately tissue damage in different pathological conditions.

Abstract
Leishmania HASPB is a lipoprotein that is exported to the extracellular space from both Leishmania parasites and mammalian cells via an unconventional secretory pathway. Exported HASPB remains anchored in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane mediated by myristate and palmitate residues covalently attached to the N-terminal SH4 domain of HASPB. HASPB targeting to the plasma membrane depends on SH4 acylation that occurs at intracellular membranes. How acylated HASPB is targeted to the plasma membrane and, in particular, the subcellular site of HASPB membrane translocation is unknown. In order to address this issue, we screened for clonal CHO mutants that are incapable of exporting HASPB. A detailed characterization of such a CHO mutant cell line revealed that the expression level of the HASPB reporter molecule is unchanged compared to CHO wild-type cells; that it is both myristoylated and palmitoylated; and that it is mainly localized to the plasma membrane as judged by confocal microscopy and subcellular fractionation. However, based on a quantitative flow cytometry assay and a biochemical biotinylation assay of surface proteins, HASPB transport to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane is largely reduced in this mutant. From these data, we conclude that the subcellular site of HASPB membrane translocation is the plasma membrane as the reporter molecule accumulates in this location when export is blocked. Thus, these results allow us to define a two-step process of HASPB cell surface biogenesis in which SH4 acylation of HASPB firstly mediates intracellular targeting to the plasma membrane. In a second step, the plasma membrane-resident machinery, which is apparently disrupted in the CHO mutant cell line, mediates membrane translocation of HASPB. Intriguingly, the angiogenic growth factor FGF-2, another protein secreted by unconventional means, is shown to be secreted normally from the HASPB export mutant cell line. These observations demonstrate that the export machinery component defective in the export mutant cell line functions specifically in the HASPB export pathway.

Abstract
Membrane resealing in mammalian cells after injury depends on Ca(2+)-dependent fusion of intracellular vesicles with the plasma membrane. When cells are wounded twice, the subsequent resealing is generally faster. Physiological and biochemical studies have shown the initiation of two different repair signaling pathways, which are termed facilitated and potentiated responses. The facilitated response is dependent on the generation and recruitment of new vesicles, whereas the potentiated response is not. Here, we report that the two responses can be differentially defined molecularly. Using recombinant fragments of synaptobrevin-2 and synaptotagmin C2 domains we were able to dissociate the molecular requirements of vesicle exocytosis for initial membrane resealing and the facilitated and potentiated responses. The initial resealing response was blocked by fragments of synaptobrevin-2 and the C2B domain of synaptotagmin VII. Both the facilitated and potentiated responses were also blocked by the C2B domain of synaptotagmin VII. Although the initial resealing response was not blocked by the C2AB domain of synaptotagmin I or the C2A domain of synaptotagmin VII, recruitment of new vesicles for the facilitated response was inhibited. We also used Ca2+ binding mutant studies to show that the effects of synaptotagmins on membrane resealing are Ca(2+)-dependent. The pattern of inhibition by synaptotagmin C2 fragments that we observed cannot be used to specify a vesicle compartment, such as lysosomes, in membrane repair.

Abstract
Structural deformations of lipid hybrid bilayer membranes induced by signal peptideless (SPL) proteins have been studied for the first time using the inherently surface specific nonlinear optical technique of sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy. Specifically, deformations of 1,2-distearoylphosphatidylglycerol(DSPG) membranes induced by interaction with FGF-1, a SPL protein which is released asa function of cellular stress through a nonclassical pathway, have been investigated. FGF-1 was found to induce lipid alkyl chain deformations in previously highly ordered DSPG membranes at the extremely low concentration of 1 nM at 60 degrees C. The deformation process was shown to exhibit a degree of reversibility upon removal of the protein by rinsing with buffer solution.

Abstract
Annexin 2 is a profibrinolytic co-receptor for plasminogen and tissue plasminogen activator that stimulates activation of the major fibrinolysin, plasmin, at cell surfaces. In human subjects, overexpression of annexin 2 in acute promyelocytic leukemia leads to a bleeding diathesis reflective of excessive cell surface annexin 2-dependent generation of plasmin (Menell, J. S., Cesarman, G. M., Jacovina, A. T., McLaughlin, M. A., Lev, E. A., and Hajjar, K. A. (1999) N. Engl. J. Med. 340, 994-1004). In addition, mice completely deficient in annexin 2 display fibrin accumulation within blood vessels and impaired clearance of injury-induced thrombi (Ling Q., Jacovina, A.T., Deora, A.B., Febbraio, M., Simantov, R., Silverstein, R. L., Hempstead, B. L., Mark, W., and Hajjar, K. A. (2004) J. Clin. Investig. 113, 38-48). Here, we show that endothelial cell annexin 2, a protein that lacks a typical signal peptide, translocates from the cytoplasm to the extracytoplasmic plasma membrane in response to brief temperature stress both in vitro and in vivo in the absence of cell death or cell lysis. This regulated response is independent of new protein or mRNA synthesis and does not require the classical endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi pathway. Temperature stress-induced annexin 2 translocation is dependent on both expression of protein p11 (S100A10) and tyrosine phosphorylation of annexin 2 because annexin 2 release is completely eliminated on depletion of p11, inactivation of tyrosine kinase, or mutation of tyrosine 23. Translocation of annexin 2 to the cell surface dramatically increases tissue plasminogen activator-dependent plasminogen activation potential and may represent a novel stress-induced protein secretion pathway.

Abstract
Translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is cytoplasmic and structurally related to guanine-nucleotide free chaperones. TCTP (also called histamine-releasing factor) has been described previously as a secreted protein that participates in inflammatory responses by promoting the release of histamine. How TCTP is eventually exported out of the cell to promote such activities is unknown. Here we show that TCTP secretion was insensitive to either brefeldin A or monensin, suggesting that it proceeds via an endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi-independent or nonclassical pathway. Moreover, our analyses also suggest that secreted TCTP originates from pre-existing pools. TSAP6, a p53-inducible 5-6 transmembrane protein, was found to interact with TCTP in a yeast two-hybrid hunt. GST pull down assays confirmed their direct interaction, and immunofluorescence analysis revealed their partial co-distribution to vesicular-like structures at the plasma membrane and around the nucleus. Functionally, the overexpression of TSAP6 consistently leads to enhanced secretion of both endogenously and exogenously expressed TCTP. Finally, we found TCTP in preparations of small secreted vesicles called exosomes, which have been suggested as a possible pathway for nonclassical secretion. Overexpression of TSAP6 also increased TCTP levels in exosome preparations. Altogether, these data identify a novel role for TSAP6 in the export of TCTP and indicate that this multipass membrane protein could have a general role in the regulation of vesicular trafficking and secretion.

Abstract
Non-classical protein release independent of the ER-Golgi pathway has been reported for an increasing number of proteins lacking an N-terminal signal sequence. The export of FGF1 and IL-1alpha, two pro-angiogenic polypeptides, provides two such examples. In both cases, export is based on the Cu2+-dependent formation of multiprotein complexes containing the S100A13 protein and might involve translocation of the protein across the membrane as a 'molten globule'. FGF1 and IL-1alpha are involved in pathological processes such as restenosis and tumor formation. Inhibition of their export by Cu2+ chelators is thus an effective strategy for treatment of several diseases.

Abstract
The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family contains 23 members in mammals including its prototype members FGF-1 and FGF-2. FGFs have been implicated in regulation of many key cellular responses involved in developmental and physiological processes. These includes proliferation, differentiation, migration, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and wound healing. FGFs bind to five related, specific cell surface receptors (FGFRs). Four of these have intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. Dimerization of the receptor is a prerequisite for receptor transphosphorylation and activation of downstream signaling molecules. All members of the FGF family have a high affinity for heparin and for cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans, which participate in formation of stable and active FGF-FGFR complexes. FGF-mediated signaling is an evolutionarily conserved signaling module operative in invertebrates and vertebrates. It seems that some members of the family have a dual mode of action. FGF-1, FGF-2, FGF-3, and FGF-11-14 have been found intranuclearly as endogenous proteins. Exogenous FGF-1 and FGF-2 are internalized by receptor-mediated endocytosis, in a clathrin-dependent and -independent way. Internalized FGF-1 and FGF-2 are able to cross cellular membranes to reach the cytosol and the nuclear compartment. The role of FGF internalization and the intracellular activity of some FGFs are discussed in the context of the known signaling induced by FGF.

Abstract
Although the extravesicular p40 domain of the transmembrane protein, p65 synaptotagmin (Syt) 1, is essential for the non-classical export of the signal peptide-less structure, FGF1, it was not possible to identify a specific intracellular protease responsible for the processing of p65 Syt1. Surprisingly, analysis of the p65 Syt1 coding sequence revealed the presence of two potential alternative ATG codons corresponding to Met103 and Met113 both of which were flanked by Kozak sequences. Indeed, in vitro translation of a Met103Ile but not a Met113Ile p65 Syt1 point mutant exhibited reduced expression of p40 Syt1 and the double p65 Syt1 Met103Ile and Met113Ile point mutant was unable to translate the p40 Syt1 isoform. Since the expression of the p65 Syt1 double point mutant inhibited the stress-induced release of FGF1, it is likely that the alternative translation of the p65 Syt1 transcript at Met103 may be involved in the generation of intracellular p40 Syt1, a critical component of the FGF1 release pathway.

Abstract
The cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is inducibly secreted by immune cells and certain other cell types to critically participate in the regulation of the host immune response. However, MIF does not contain a N-terminal signal sequence and the mechanism of MIF secretion is unknown. Here we show in a model of endotoxin-stimulated THP-1 monocytes that MIF does not enter the endoplasmatic reticulum and that MIF secretion is not inhibited by monensin or brefeldin A, demonstrating that MIF secretion occurs via a non-classical export route. Glyburide and probenicide but not other typical inhibitors of non-classical protein export strongly block MIF secretion, indicating that the export pathway of MIF involves an ABCA1 transporter.

Abstract
The number of peptides and proteins known to exhibit nonclassical transport activity has increased significantly in recent years. In most cases, these entities have been studied in relation to their ability to deliver high molecular weight compounds, including proteins and DNA, for the ultimate purpose of developing new drug delivery strategies. In this review, an overview of the various types of vectors is presented. The in vitro and in vivo delivery successes of this technology, as well as preliminary therapeutic efforts, are described. Although a comprehensive mechanism of nonclassical transport has not yet been clearly established, we propose a straightforward model based on the cationic nature of the vectors and the need for lack of highly organized structure. In this hypothesis we suggest that the movement of polycations is mediated by a network of extra- and intracellular polyanions while transport across the bilayer is facilitated by cation-pi interactions between the vectors' basic groups and aromatic amino acid side chains in the bilayer spanning helices of membrane proteins.

Abstract
Copper is involved in the promotion of angiogenic and inflammatory events in vivo and, although recent clinical data has demonstrated the potential of Cu2+ chelators for the treatment of cancer in man, the mechanism for this activity remains unknown. We have previously demonstrated that the signal peptide-less angiogenic polypeptide, FGF1, uses intracellular Cu2+ to facilitate the formation of a multiprotein aggregate that enables the release of FGF1 in response to stress and that the expression of the precursor form but not the mature form of IL-1alpha represses the stress-induced export of FGF1 from NIH 3T3 cells. We report here that IL-1alpha is a Cu2+-binding protein and human U937 cells, like NIH 3T3 cells, release IL-1alpha in response to temperature stress in a Cu2+-dependent manner. We also report that the stress-induced export of IL-1alpha involves the intracellular association with the Cu2+-binding protein, S100A13. In addition, the expression of a S100A13 mutant lacking a sequence novel to this gene product functions as a dominant-negative repressor of IL-1alpha release, whereas the expression of wild-type S100A13 functions to eliminate the requirement for stress-induced transcription. Lastly, we present biophysical evidence that IL-1alpha may be endowed with molten globule character, which may facilitate its release through the plasma membrane. Because Cu2+ chelation also represses the release of FGF1, the ability of Cu2+ chelators to potentially serve as effective clinical anti-cancer agents may be related to their ability to limit the export of these proinflammatory and angiogenic signal peptide-less polypeptides into the extracellular compartment.

Abstract
Most of the examples of protein translocation across a membrane (such as the import of classical secretory proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum, import of proteins into mitochondria and peroxisomes, as well as protein import into and export from the nucleus), are understood in great detail. In striking contrast, the phenomenon of unconventional protein secretion (also known as nonclassical protein export or ER/Golgi-independent protein secretion) from eukaryotic cells was discovered more than 10 years ago and yet the molecular mechanism and the molecular identity of machinery components that mediate this process remain elusive. This problem appears to be even more complex as several lines of evidence indicate that various kinds of mechanistically distinct nonclassical export routes may exist. In most cases these secretory mechanisms are gated in a tightly controlled fashion. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of our current knowledge as a basis for the development of new experimental strategies designed to unravel the molecular machineries mediating ER/Golgi-independent protein secretion. Beyond solving a fundamental problem in current cell biology, the molecular analysis of these processes is of major biomedical importance as these export routes are taken by proteins such as angiogenic growth factors, inflammatory cytokines, components of the extracellular matrix which regulate cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis, viral proteins, and parasite surface proteins potentially involved in host infection.

Abstract
In recent years a number of growth factors, cytokines, protein hormones, and other proteins have been found in the nucleus after having been added externally to cells. This review evaluates the evidence that translocation takes place and discusses possible mechanisms. As a demonstration of the principle that extracellular proteins can penetrate cellular membranes and reach the cytosol, a brief overview of the penetration mechanism of protein toxins with intracellular sites of action is given. Then problems and pitfalls in attempts to demonstrate the presence of proteins in the cytosol and in the nucleus as opposed to intracellular vesicular compartments are discussed, and some new approaches to study this are described. A detailed overview of the evidence for translocation of fibroblast growth factor, HIV-Tat, interferon-gamma, and other proteins where there is evidence for intracellular action is given, and translocation mechanisms are discussed. It is concluded that although there are many pitfalls, the bulk of the experiments indicate that certain proteins are indeed able to enter the cytosol and nucleus. Possible roles of the internalized proteins are discussed.

Abstract
Transglutaminases (Tgases) are a widely distributed group of enzymes that catalyse the post-translational modification of proteins by the formation of isopeptide bonds. This occurs either through protein cross-linking via epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)lysine bonds or through incorporation of primary amines at selected peptide-bound glutamine residues. The cross-linked products, often of high molecular mass, are highly resistant to mechanical challenge and proteolytic degradation, and their accumulation is found in a number of tissues and processes where such properties are important, including skin, hair, blood clotting and wound healing. However, deregulation of enzyme activity generally associated with major disruptions in cellular homoeostatic mechanisms has resulted in these enzymes contributing to a number of human diseases, including chronic neurodegeneration, neoplastic diseases, autoimmune diseases, diseases involving progressive tissue fibrosis and diseases related to the epidermis of the skin. In the present review we detail the structural and regulatory features important in mammalian Tgases, with particular focus on the ubiquitous type 2 tissue enzyme. Physiological roles and substrates are discussed with a view to increasing and understanding the pathogenesis of the diseases associated with transglutaminases. Moreover the ability of these enzymes to modify proteins and act as biological glues has not gone unnoticed by the commercial sector. As a consequence, we have included some of the present and future biotechnological applications of this increasingly important group of enzymes.

Abstract
Externally added fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF-1) is capable of crossing cellular membranes to reach the cytosol and the nucleus in a number of cell types. We have monitored the translocation of the growth factor by two methods: phosphorylation of FGF-1, and prenylation of an FGF-1 mutant that contains a C-terminal prenylation signal. Inhibition of endosomal acidification by ammonium chloride or monensin did not block the translocation of FGF-1, whereas bafilomycin A1, a specific inhibitor of vacuolar proton pumps, blocked translocation completely. A combination of ionophores expected to dissipate the vesicular membrane potential (valinomycin plus monensin) also fully inhibited the translocation. The inhibition of translocation by bafilomycin A1 was overcome in the presence of monensin or nigericin, while ouabain blocked translocation under these conditions. The data indicate that translocation of FGF-1 to cytosol occurs from the lumen of intracellular vesicles possessing vacuolar proton pumps, and that a vesicular membrane potential is required. Apparently, activation of vesicular Na+/K+-ATPase by monensin or nigericin generates a membrane potential that can support translocation when the proton pump is blocked.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF-1) has both extra- and intracellular functions. To identify intracellular binding partners for FGF-1, we isolated proteins from U2OS human osteosarcoma cells interacting specifically with FGF-1. One of the isolated proteins was identified as protein kinase CK2 (CK2). We here provide evidence that FGF-1 binds to both the catalytic alpha-subunit and to the regulatory beta-subunit of CK2. The interaction between FGF-1 and CK2 alpha and beta was characterized by surface plasmon resonance, giving K(D) values of 0.4 +/- 0.3 and 1.2 +/- 0.2 microM, respectively. By using a novel assay for intracellular protein interaction, FGF-1 and CK2 alpha are shown to interact in vivo. In vitro, FGF-1 and FGF-2 are phosphorylated by CK2, and the presence of FGF-1 or FGF-2 was found to enhance the autophosphorylation of CK2 beta. A correlation between the mitogenic potential of FGF-1 mutants and their ability to bind to CK2 alpha was observed. The possible involvement of CK2 in the FGF-induced stimulation of DNA synthesis is discussed.

Abstract
The release of signal peptideless proteins occurs through nonclassical export pathways and the release of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)1 in response to cellular stress is well documented. Although biochemical evidence suggests that the formation of a multiprotein complex containing S100A13 and Synaptotagmin (Syt)1 is important for the release of FGF1, it is unclear where this intracellular complex is assembled. As a result, we employed real-time analysis using confocal fluorescence microscopy to study the spatio-temporal aspects of this nonclassical export pathway and demonstrate that heat shock stimulates the redistribution of FGF1 from a diffuse cytosolic pattern to a locale near the inner surface of the plasma membrane where it colocalized with S100A13 and Syt1. In addition, coexpression of dominant-negative mutant forms of S100A13 and Syt1, which both repress the release of FGF1, failed to inhibit the stress-induced peripheral redistribution of intracellular FGF1. However, amlexanox, a compound that is known to attenuate actin stress fiber formation and FGF1 release, was able to repress this process. These data suggest that the assembly of the intracellular complex involved in the release of FGF1 occurs near the inner surface of the plasma membrane and is dependent on the F-actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
With the aim of identifying new intracellular binding partners for acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), proteins from U2OS human osteosarcoma cells were adsorbed to immobilized aFGF. One of the adsorbed proteins is a member of the leucine-rich repeat protein family termed ribosome-binding protein p34 (p34). This protein has previously been localized to endoplasmic reticulum membranes and is thought to span the membrane with the N terminus on the cytosolic side. Confocal microscopy of cells transfected with Myc-p34 confirmed the endoplasmic reticulum localization, and Northern blotting determined p34 mRNA to be present in a multitude of different tissues. Cross-linking experiments indicated that the protein is present in the cell as a dimer. In vitro translated p34 was found to interact with maltose-binding protein-aFGF through its cytosolic coiled-coil domain. The interaction between aFGF and p34 was further characterized by surface plasmon resonance, giving a K(D) of 1.4 +/- 0.3 microm. Even though p34 interacted with mitogenic aFGF, it bound poorly to the non-mitogenic aFGF(K132E) mutant, indicating a possible involvement of p34 in intracellular signaling by aFGF.

Abstract
We now know that fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF1) transcription is controlled by at least four distinct promoters in a tissue-specific manner. Thus, promoter 1.A is active in the kidney, 1.B in the brain, and 1.C and 1.D in a variety of cultured cells including vascular smooth muscle cells. These promoters are separated from each other by up to 70 kbp. Multiple FGF1 transcripts arise from alternate promoter usage and alternative splicing of different 5'-untranslated exons. The 1.A and 1.B promoters are constitutively active in their respective cell types. In contrast, different biological response modifiers, including serum and transforming growth factor beta, can induce the 1.C and 1.D promoters. The 540-bp sequence upstream of the 1B transcription initiation site is sufficient to drive the expression of a heterologous luciferase reporter in cultured cells, and an 18-bp sequence within this region is important for the regulation of brain-specific gene expression. Furthermore, regulation occurs through the binding of the 18-bp sequence to a brain-specific 37-kDa protein and a ubiquitous basic helix-loop-helix protein, E2-2. We have produced transgenic mice bearing the brain-specific promoter of the human FGF1 gene joined to the SV40 immediate-early gene, which encodes the large T antigen. The resulting mice developed brain tumors that originated in the pontine gray, just rostral to the fourth ventricle. We have also identified a serum response element, comprising a CarG box and an Ets-binding site, in the 1.D promoter. Continued characterization of the mechanistic events that control the tissue-specific activation of FGF1 promoters will help us to understand the role of FGF1 in cancer, atherosclerosis, and neural development.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor one (FGF-1) exists in a molten globule (MG)-like state under physiological conditions (neutral pH, 37 degrees C). It has been proposed that this form of the protein may be involved in its atypical membrane transport properties. Macromolecular chaperones have been shown to bind to MG states of proteins as well as to be involved in protein membrane transport. We have therefore examined the effect of such proteins on the aggregation and refolding of FGF-1 to evaluate whether they might play a role in FGF-1 transport. The proposed chaperone alpha-crystallin was found to strongly inhibit the aggregation of the MG state of FGF-1. Curiously, two other proteins of similar size and charge (thyroglobulin and a monoclonal IgM immunoglobulin) with no previously reported chaperone properties were also found to have a related effect. In contrast, the chaperone GroEL/ES induced further aggregation of MG-like FGF-1 but had no effect on the native conformation. Both chaperones stimulated refolding to the native state (25 degrees C) but had no detectable effect when FGF-1 was refolded to the MG state (37 degrees C). This suggests that disordered intermediates are present in the folding pathways of the native and MG-like FGF conformations which differ from the MG-like state induced under physiological conditions. FGF-1 does, therefore, interact with molecular chaperones, although this may involve both the MG and the native states of the protein.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 1 is known to be released in response to stress conditions as a component of a multiprotein aggregate containing the p40 extravescicular domain of p65 synaptotagmin (Syt) 1 and S100A13. Since FGF1 is a Cu2+-binding protein and Cu2+ is known to induce its dimerization, we evaluated the capacity of recombinant FGF1, p40 Syt1, and S100A13 to interact in a cell-free system and the role of Cu2+ in this interaction. We report that FGF1, p40 Syt1, and S100A13 are able to bind Cu2+ with similar affinity and to interact in the presence of Cu2+ to form a multiprotein aggregate which is resistant to low concentrations of SDS and sensitive to reducing conditions and ultracentrifugation. The formation of this aggregate in the presence of Cu2+ is dependent on the presence of S100A13 and is mediated by cysteine-independent interactions between S100A13 and either FGF1 or p40 Syt1. Interestingly, S100A13 is also able to interact in the presence of Cu2+ with Cys-free FGF1 and this observation may account for the ability of S100A13 to export Cys-free FGF1 in response to stress. Lastly, tetrathiomolybdate, a Cu2+ chelator, significantly represses in a dose-dependent manner the heat shock-induced release of FGF1 and S100A13. These data suggest that S100A13 may be involved in the assembly of the multiprotein aggregate required for the release of FGF1 and that Cu2+ oxidation may be an essential post-translational intracellular modifier of this process.

Abstract
S100A13, a member of the S100 gene family of Ca(2+)-binding proteins has been previously characterized as a component of a brain-derived heparin-binding multiprotein aggregate/complex containing fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1). We report that while expression of S100A13 in NIH 3T3 cells results in the constitutive release of S100A13 into the extracellular compartment at 37 degrees C, co-expression of S100A13 with FGF1 represses the constitutive release of S100A13 and enables NIH 3T3 cells to release S100A13 in response to temperature stress. S100A13 release in response to stress occurs with kinetics similar to that observed for the stress-induced release of FGF1, but S100A13 expression is able to reverse the sensitivity of FGF1 release to inhibitors of transcription and translation. The release of FGF1 and S100A13 in response to heat shock results in the solubility of FGF1 at 100% (w/v) ammonium sulfate saturation, and the expression of a S100A13 deletion mutant lacking its novel basic residue-rich domain acts as a dominant negative effector of FGF1 release in vitro. Surprisingly, the expression of S100A13 also results in the stress-induced release of a Cys-free FGF1 mutant, which is normally not released from NIH 3T3 cells in response to heat shock. These data suggest that S100A13 may be a component of the pathway for the release of the signal peptide-less polypeptide, FGF1, and may involve a role for S100A13 in the formation of a noncovalent FGF1 homodimer.

Abstract
Macrophages can adapt to the absence of oxygen by switching to anaerobic glycolysis. In this study, we investigated (a) the roles of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) and ribose 1,5-bisphosphate (Rib-1,5-P2), potent activators of phosphofructokinase, (b) the enzymes responsible for the synthesis of Rib-1,5-P2, and (c) the mechanisms of regulation of these enzymes in H36.12j macrophages during the initial phase of hypoxia. Within 1 min after initiating hypoxia, glycolysis was activated through activation of phosphofructokinase. Over the same period, Fru-2,6-P2 decreased 50% and recovered completely upon reoxygenation. Similar changes in cAMP levels were observed. In contrast, the Rib-1,5-P2 concentration rapidly increased to a maximum level of 8.0 +/- 0.9 nmol/g cell 30 s after hypoxia. Thus, Rib-1,5-P2 was the major factor increasing the rate of glycolysis during the initial phase of hypoxia. Moreover, we found that Rib-1,5-P2 was synthesized by two steps: the ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinase (5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate synthetase; PRPP synthetase) reaction (EC ) catalyzing the reaction, Rib-5-P + ATP --> PRPP + AMP and a new enzyme, "PRPP pyrophosphatase" catalyzing the reaction, PRPP --> Rib-1,5-P2 + P(i). Both PRPP synthetase and PRPP pyrophosphatase were significantly activated 30 s after hypoxia. Pretreatment with 1-octadecyl-2-methyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine and calphostin C prevented the activation of ribose PRPP synthetase and PRPP pyrophosphatase as well as increase in Rib-1,5-P2 and activation of phosphofructokinase 30 s after hypoxia. These data suggest that the activation of the above enzymes was mediated by protein kinase C acting via activation of phosphatidylinositol specific phospholipase C in the macrophages during hypoxia.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factors FGF-1 (aFGF) and FGF-2 (bFGF) are found in most embryonic and adult normal and tumor tissues, where they are immobilized in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Mobilization of these FGFs is part of a tightly controlled process resulting in the activation of high-affinity FGF receptors. Recently, we have shown that a secreted FGF-binding protein (FGF-BP) binds non-covalently to FGF-2 and is able to release it from the ECM. This process of growth factor bioactivation seems to play a pivotal role in the growth of squamous cell carcinomas, especially through induction of tumor angiogenesis. Since previous studies provided only indirect evidence for the proposed mechanism of FGF-BP-mediated FGF-2 release, we decided to use recombinant purified FGF-BP to study further the underlying mechanism of FGF-BP action. Here we show that FGF-BP is able to bind directly to FGF-2 without additional cofactors and to exhibit bioactivity. The purified recombinant FGF-BP stimulates tumor cell growth as well as endothelial cell growth and chemotaxis, indicating a dual growth-supporting role of FGF-BP in tumors. We show that this paracrine FGF-BP effect is dependent on endogenously expressed FGF-2, since it can be completely blocked by anti-FGF-2 antibodies. In tumor xenografts and in tumor cells, we detected a pattern of specific FGF-BP-immunoreactive high molecular weight forms, which presumably represent stable covalent complexes of FGF-BP and show marked differences in their occurrence in different tumors and in their heparin binding affinity. By providing further insight into the mechanism of FGF-BP action, our results emphasize the relevance of FGF-BP and of FGF-2 in tumor growth.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)1alpha mediates proinflammatory events through its extracellular interaction with the IL1 type I receptor. However, IL1alpha does not contain a conventional signal peptide sequence that provides access to the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi apparatus for secretion. Thus, we have studied the release of the precursor (p) and mature (m) forms of IL1alpha from NIH 3T3 cells. We have demonstrated that mIL1alpha but not pIL1alpha was released in response to heat shock with biochemical and pharmacological properties similar to those reported for the stress-mediated release pathway utilized by fibroblast growth factor (FGF)1. However, unlike the FGF1 release pathway, the IL1alpha release pathway appears to function independently of synaptotagmin (Syt)1 because the expression of a dominant-negative form of Syt1, which represses the release of FGF1, did not inhibit the release of mIL1alpha in response to temperature stress. Interestingly, whereas the expression of both mIL1alpha and FGF1 in NIH 3T3 cells did not impair the stress-induced release of either polypeptide, the expression of both pIL1alpha and FGF1 repressed the release of FGF1 in response to temperature stress. These data suggest that the release of mIL1alpha requires proteolytic processing of its precursor form and that mIL1alpha and FGF1 may utilize similar but distinct mechanisms for export.

Abstract
We previously reported that endogenously expressed, intracellularly localized fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-1 interacts with mortalin. Here we report that FGF-1 added to the culture medium of quiescent BALB/c3T3 cells is taken up by the cells and interacts with mortalin in the cells in a regulated manner. Although both the internalized FGF-1 and mortalin were present at high levels throughout the FGF-1-initiated cell cycle, their interaction became apparent only in late G1 phase. Interestingly, mortalin was preferentially tyrosine phosphorylated at the same time, and when its normally weak phosphorylation in early G1 phase was augmented by treating the cells with vanadate, a strong interaction between mortalin and FGF-1 was established. Conversely, when phosphorylated mortalin was treated with tyrosine phosphatase, its interaction with FGF-1 was abrogated. These results indicate that FGF-1 taken up by cells preferentially interacts with mortalin in late G1 phase of the cell cycle, and that tyrosine phosphorylation of mortalin regulates this interaction.

Abstract
The signal peptide-less FGF gene family prototype, FGF1 is released in response to temperature stress in vitro as a latent reducing agent-sensitive homodimer non-covalently complexed with the extravesicular p40 domain of p65 synaptotagmin (Syt)1. Because FGF1 is well recognized as an angiogenesis factor in vivo and angiogenesis is known to be induced by hypoxia, we examined the release of FGF1 and p40 Syt1 under conditions of hypoxia and temperature stress using a chemostatic microcarrier cell culture system. We report that like the pathway used by FGF1 and p40 Syt1 release under temperature stress, hypoxia also induces the release of FGF1 and p40 Syt1 with similar kinetic and pharmacologic properties including the requirement for functional cysteine residues. Lastly, FGF1 and p40 Syt1 release in response to hypoxia and temperature stress is sensitive to lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase inhibitors suggesting that arachidonic acid metabolism may play an important role in the mechanism of FGF1 release in vitro.

Abstract
Gene expression can be manipulated by the introduction of a hybrid gene formed by linking a highly tissue-specific regulatory element to a gene whose expression might be expected to alter cellular function. Previously, we have shown that the human FGF1 gene contains four distinct tissue-specific promoters. In an effort to perturb the programming of proliferation and differentiation in a subset of neural cells, we have produced transgenic mice bearing the brain-specific promoter of the human FGF1 gene joined to the SV40 immediate early gene, which encodes the large T antigen. The resulting mice, and offspring from four individual lines, developed brain tumors that originated in the pontine gray, just rostral to the fourth ventricle. Tumors were moderately vascularized, as demonstrated by staining with both hematoxylin and eosin and antibodies to three different endothelial cell markers, but vessels were histologically normal. Scattered tumor foci were present as early as postnatal day 26; and affected animals died between 5 - 8 months of age. In mature animals, tumors lacked terminal differentiation markers for astrocytes (glial fibrillary acidic protein) or neurons (synaptophysin and neuron-specific enolase). However, they expressed high levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and vimentin, markers for proliferating cells. This immunophenotype is consistent with the tumor being at an early stage of differentiation. Therefore, these mice may provide a valuable tool for the study of tumorigenesis, replenishment and differentiation of neural stem cells.
