lüll Roles of FGF signaling in stem cell self-renewal, senescence and aging Coutu DL; Galipeau JAging (Albany NY) 2011[Oct]; 3 (10): 920-33The aging process decreases tissue function and regenerative capacity, which has been associated with cellular senescence and a decline in adult or somatic stem cell numbers and self-renewal within multiple tissues. The potential therapeutic application of stem cells to reduce the burden of aging and stimulate tissue regeneration after trauma is very promising. Much research is currently ongoing to identify the factors and molecular mediators of stem cell self-renewal to reach these goals. Over the last two decades, fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs) have stood up as major players in both embryonic development and tissue repair. Moreover, many studies point to somatic stem cells as major targets of FGF signaling in both tissue homeostasis and repair. FGFs appear to promote self-renewing proliferation and inhibit cellular senescence in nearly all tissues tested to date. Here we review the role of FGFs and FGFRs in stem cell self-renewal, cellular senescence, and aging.|Animals[MESH]|Bone and Bones/cytology/physiology[MESH]|Cell Proliferation[MESH]|Cellular Senescence/*physiology[MESH]|Ectoderm/cytology[MESH]|Endothelium/cytology[MESH]|Fibroblast Growth Factors/*metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Mesoderm/cytology[MESH]|Receptors, Fibroblast Growth Factor/metabolism[MESH]|Signal Transduction/*physiology[MESH]|Stem Cells/cytology/*physiology[MESH] |
