Recombinant Human/Mouse FGF-8b Protein

Recombinant Human/Mouse FGF-8b (Catalog # 423-F8) stimulates cell proliferation in the NR6R‑3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line. The ED50 for this effect is 6.5-40 ng/mL in the presence of 1 μg/mL heparin.

1 μg/lane of Recombinant Human/Mouse FGF-8b was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) conditions and visualized by silver staining, showing a single band at 23 kDa.

Dopaminergic neurons were generated from human pluripotent stem cells in media that included Bovine Fibronectin Protein (1030-FN) to support cell attachment and spreading, the ITS and N-2 Plus Media Supplements (AR013 and AR003, respectively) to select and enrich for neural stem cell populations, and a panel of growth factors for effective dopaminergic differentiation, including Recombinant Human FGF-basic, Recombinant Mouse FGF-8b (Catalog # 423-F8), and Recombinant Mouse Shh-N (464-SH). Cells were stained with a Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse Tyrosine Hydroxylase Monoclonal Antibody (MAB7566) followed by a NorthernLights™ 493-conjugated Donkey Anti-Mouse IgG Antigen Affinity-purified Secondary Antibody (NL009; green), and a Mouse Neuron-specific beta III Tubulin Tuj1 Monoclonal Antibody (MAB1195) followed by a NorthernLights 557-conjugated Donkey Anti-Mouse IgG Antigen Affinity-purified Secondary Antibody (NL007; red) and counterstained with DAPI (5748; blue).

Background

FGF-8 is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family that was originally discovered as a growth factor essential for the androgen-dependent growth of mouse mammary carcinoma cells (1-3). Alternate splicing of mouse FGF-8 mRNA generates eight secreted isoforms, designated a-h, but only FGF-8a, b, e and f exist in humans (4). FGF-8 contains a 22 amino acid (aa) signal sequence, an N‑terminal domain that varies according to the isoform (30 aa for FGF-8b; 20 aa for the shortest, FGF-8a), a 125 aa FGF domain and a 37 aa proline‑rich C‑terminal sequence. The FGF domain of FGF-8 shares the most aa identity with FGF17 (75%) and FGF-18 (67%), and the three form an FGF subfamily (2). Mouse FGF-8b shares 100% aa identity with human FGF-8b. FGF-8 is widely expressed during embryogenesis, and mediates epithelial-mesenchymal transitions. It plays an organizing and inducing role during gastrulation, and regulates patterning of the midbrain/hindbrain, eye, ear, limbs and heart in the embryo (2, 5 - 8). The isoforms may play different roles in development. FGF-8b shows the strongest receptor affinity and oncogenic transforming capacity although FGF-8a and FGF-8e are also transforming and have been found in human prostate, breast or ovarian tumors (1, 5, 9-12). FGF-8 shows limited expression in the normal adult, but low levels are found in the reproductive and genitourinary tract, peripheral leukocytes and bone marrow hematopoietic cells (3, 9, 13).
