Fgf-10-deficient mice (Fgf-10(-/-)) were generated to determine the role(s) of Fgf-10 in vertebrate development. Limb bud initiation was abolished in Fgf-10(-/-) mice. Strikingly, Fgf-10(-/-) fetuses continued to develop until birth, despite the complete absence of both fore- and hindlimbs. Fgf-10 is necessary for apical ectodermal ridge (AER) formation and acts epistatically upstream of Fgf-8, the earliest known AER marker in mice. Fgf-10(-/-) mice exhibited perinatal lethality associated with complete absence of lungs. Although tracheal development was normal, main-stem bronchial formation, as well as all subsequent pulmonary branching morphogenesis, was completely disrupted. The pulmonary phenotype of Fgf-10(-/-) mice is strikingly similar to that of the Drosophila mutant branchless, an Fgf homolog.

Background: COPD is an incurable disease and a leading cause of death worldwide. In mice, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)10 is essential for lung morphogenesis, and in humans, polymorphisms in the human gene correlate with an increased susceptibility to develop COPD.
Methods: We analysed FGF10 signalling in human lung sections and isolated cells from healthy donor, smoker and COPD lungs.

Ionizing radiation, commonly used for head and neck cancer treatment, typically damages the salivary glands, resulting in hyposalivation. The development of treatments to restore this lost function is crucial for improving the quality of life for patients suffering from this condition. To address this clinical need, we have developed an innovative hydrogel by chemically conjugating laminin-1 peptides (A99 and YIGSR) and growth factors, FGF-7 and FGF-10, to fibrin hydrogels.

Doxorubicin is a common chemotherapeutic agent in clinic, but myocardial toxicity limits its use. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 10, a multifunctional paracrine growth factor, plays diverse roles in embryonic and postnatal heart development as well as in cardiac regeneration and repair. In this study we investigated the role of FGF10 as a potential modulator of doxorubicin-induced cardiac cytotoxicity and the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) regulate the growth and morphogenesis of various exocrine glands with branched morphologies. Their roles in lacrimal gland (LG) development remain unknown, but fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 10 is crucial for early LG organogenesis. To clarify the roles of EGF, HGF, and FGF10 in LG development, LG epithelial cells were isolated from late-embryonic and neonatal mice; cultured; and treated with EGF, HGF, or FGF10 and their respective receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitors AG1478, PHA665752, or SU5402.

The mucous lining covering the inside of our mouth, the oral mucosa, is a highly compartmentalized tissue and can be subdivided into the buccal mucosa, gingiva, lips, palate, and tongue. Its uppermost layer, the oral epithelium, is maintained by adult stem cells throughout life. Proliferation and differentiation of adult epithelial stem cells have been intensively studied using in vivo mouse models as well as two-dimensional (2D) feeder-cell based in vitro models.
