The in vivo bioavailability of exogenous fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) was studied after i.v. injection of uniformly
14C-labeled FGF2 into young rats.
14C-FGF2 was rapidly accumulated in almost all
solid organs within 5 min. After 30 min, more than 65% of FGF2 was
retained in liver, 4.5% in kidneys, 1.2% in spleen, 0.15% in adrenal
glands, and trace amounts in bone marrow, eyes, lungs, and heart.
Suborgan distribution of 14C-FGF2 showed that for kidneys
and adrenal glands, the labeling was mainly concentrated in the
cortical zone. Incubation of organ sections with 2 M NaCl or heparin
eluted all the radioactivity, indicating that labeling was due to
FGF2-heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) interactions. Electrophoretic
analysis show only native 14C-FGF2 in the blood and
extracellular matrix; however, FGF2 is continuously catabolized in
solid organs, indicating that all participate in the clearance of FGF2
by cellular internalization and subsequent catabolism. All FGF2
catabolic fragments bound heparin, demonstrating the preservation of
their HSPG-binding site during the in vivo intracellular catabolism of
FGF2. Analysis of the high-affinity receptors of FGF2 (FGFR-1 and
FGFR-3) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase did not show any
increase in either FGFR tyrosine phosphorylation or in
mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. This study shows for the
first time that exogenous FGF2 is cleared by HSPG cellular
internalization and catabolism without inducing the activation of FGFRs
within at least five organs in vivo, which strongly suggests that the HSPG-dependent internalization and catabolism pathway may control the
in vivo bioavailability of FGF2.
