Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGFR2) Understanding

Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGFR2): Overview

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) also known as CD332 (cluster of differentiation 332) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGFR2 gene residing on chromosome 10. FGFR2 is a receptor for fibroblast growth factor.

Structure and Signaling of the FGFR2 Receptor
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor family, where amino acid sequence is highly conserved between members and throughout evolution. FGFR family members differ from one another in their ligand affinities and tissue distribution. A full-length representative protein consists of an extracellular region, composed of three immunoglobulin domains, a single hydrophobic membrane-spanning segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. The extracellular portion of the protein interacts with fibroblast growth factors, setting in motion a cascade of downstream signals, ultimately influencing mitogenesis and differentiation. This particular family member is a high-affinity receptor for acidic, basic and/or keratinocyte growth factor, depending on the isoform.

Function
FGFR2 has important roles in embryonic development and tissue repair, especially bone and blood vessels. Like the other members of the fibroblast growth factor receptor family, these receptors signal by binding to their ligand and dimerisation (pairing of receptors), which causes the tyrosine kinase domains to initiate a cascade of intracellular signals. On a molecular level these signals mediate cell division, growth and differentiation.

Isoforms
FGFR2 has two naturally occurring isoforms, FGFR2IIIb and FGFR2IIIc, created by splicing of the third immunoglobulin-like domain. FGFR2IIIb is predominantly found in ectoderm derived tissues and endothelial organ lining, i.e. skin and internal organs. FGFR2IIIc is found in mesenchyme, which includes craniofacial bone and for this reason the mutations of this gene and isoform are associated with craniosynostosis.

Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGFR2) Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGFR2) report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGFR2) Emerging Drugs

FPA144 (Bemarituzumab): Five Prime Therapeutics Bemarituzumab (also known as FPA144) is a first-in-class FGFR2b antibody in clinical development as a targeted immune therapy for tumors that over-express FGFR2b. There are currently no other FGFR2b-specific antibodies in the clinic. Because it is specific for FGFR2b, it does not affect in normal cell processes, like metabolic regulation, glucose and phosphate regulation. This antibody is designed to block tumor growth through two distinct mechanisms:

• It binds specifically to FGFR2b and prevents the binding of certain fibroblast growth factors that promote tumor growth
• It has been engineered to drive immune-based killing of tumor cells by antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity through the recruitment of natural killer cells

Alofanib: Russian Pharmaceutical Technologies Alofanib is an allosteric inhibitor of FGFR2 and significantly inhibited b FGF-induced proliferation of HUVEC cells (IC50 value of 11 nM) and suppressed proliferation of SVEC-4-10 cells (IC50 value of 58 nM). Moreover, Alofanib suppressed the migration activity of endothelial cells, and their ability to form vessel-like structures in vitro. Also, Alofanib significantly decreased the number of microvessels in Matrigel implant and in ovarian cancer (SKOV-3) xenograftinvivo.
