Fibroblast growth factor receptors have different signaling and mitogenic potentials.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Tarrytown, New York 10591.

ABSTRACT

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors (FGFRs) are structurally related receptor protein tyrosine kinases encoded by four distinct genes. Activation of FGFR-1, -2, and -3 by FGFs induces mitogenic responses in various cell types, but the mitogenic potential of FGFR-4 has not been previously explored. We have compared the properties of BaF3 murine lymphoid cells and L6 rat myoblast cells engineered to express FGFR-1 or FGFR-4. Acidic FGF binds with high affinity to and elicits tyrosine phosphorylation of FGFR-1 or FGFR-4 receptors displayed on BaF3 cells, but only FGFR-1 activation leads to cell survival and growth. FGFR-4 activation also fails to elicit detectable signals characteristic of the FGFR-1 response: tyrosine phosphorylation of SHC and extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) proteins and induction of fos and tis11 RNA expression. The only detected response to FGFR-4 activation was weak phosphorylation of phospholipase C gamma. A chimeric receptor containing the extracellular domain of FGFR-4 and the intracellular domain of FGFR-1 confers FGF-dependent growth upon transfected BaF3 cells, demonstrating that the intracellular domains of the receptors dictate their functional capacity. Activation of FGFR-1 in transfected L6 myoblasts induced far stronger phosphorylation of phospholipase C gamma, SHC, and ERK proteins than could activation of FGFR-4 in L6 cells, and only FGFR-1 activation induced tyrosine phosphorylation of a characteristic 80-kD protein. Hence, the signaling and biological responses elicited by different FGF receptors substantially differ.
