Abstract:

BACKGROUND: As an important growth factor in tendon-bone healing and cartilage repair, fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) has a positive effect on accelerating tendon-bone healing and cartilage repair.
OBJECTIVE: To review the application and the current problems of FGF-2 in tendon-bone healing and cartilage repair.
METHODS: A computer-based search of CNKI, PubMed, and Elsevier databases was performed for retrieving articles concerning the application of FGF-2 in tendon-bone healing and cartilage repair published from January 2000 to March 2018. The keywords were “fibroblast growth factor 2, tendon, bone, cartilage, repair, tissue engineering” in English and Chinese, respectively. Finally 64 eligible articles were enrolled for result analysis after excluding irrelative articles by reading the titles and abstracts.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: FGF-2 plays an important role in tendon-bone healing process and can accelerate tendon-bone healing by increasing the expression levels of transforming growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein, promoting the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and increasing the contents of collagen type I and III. Moreover, FGF-2 can promote the repair of cartilage injury by activating FGF/FGFR2 and other signaling pathways to promote the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, regulate the expression of sox9 and promote the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into chondrocytes. Besides, it promotes the formation of cartilage by up-regulating the expression levels of endogenous growth factors such as bone morphogenetic protein 2 and 4 in subchondral bone. However, the studies on FGF-2 are in the pre-clinical stage, so more clinical researches are required.
