Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), given during ischemia or during reperfusion of the ischemic heart is cardioprotective, but its mitogenic activity may limit possible clinical applications. We have tested the cardioprotective potential of a non-mitogenic FGF-2 mutant (S117A) that no longer activates casein kinase 2 (CK2) in both acute and long-term studies. METHODS AND RESULTS: To test effects during...
