Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF)
polypeptide growth factors, a large family with 22 members which share 120 amino acids. FGF receptor (FGFR) FGF binds one of five subtypes of FGFR, inducing the tyrosine kinase activity, and transmit the signal by sequential phosphorylation of down-stream kinases. Function cell growth, angiogenesis, differentiation, etc. Association with tumor FGF3, 4, 5: originally reported by transforming activity FGF8: prostate and breast cancer FGF FGFR Auto- phosphorylation Signal transduction

Objectives To investigate the role of FGF signal in synovial sarcoma (SS), and to evaluate the therapeutic effect of FGFR inhibitors. Methods 1) FGF&FGFR gene expression semi-quantitative RT-PCR 2) Mitogenic effect of rhFGF proteins BrdU incorporation assay 3) FGF signal transduction phosphorylation specific Western blotting 4) Growth inhibition by FGFR inhibitors BrdU incorporation assay 5) Cell cycle analysis FACS 6) in vivo study nude mouse xenograft

Proposed mechanism in the growth of synovial sarcoma cells
FGFR FGF8,18 Transcriptional activation Cell cycle progression FGFR inhibitor (SU5402 or PD166866) Cell cycle arrest Ras FGF8,18 P MEK1/2 P ERK1/2 Transcriptional activation Cell cycle progression Cell growth
17
Conclusion FGF/FGFR/ERK signal has important roles in the growth of synovial sarcoma, and is a good candidate for molecular target therapy. FGFR inhibitors were not cytocidal drugs, but induced cell cycle arrest in G1 phase, suggesting the promising role for combination therapy for synovial sarcoma.
