Identification of fgf-stimulated signalling pathways critical for angiogenesis

Objectif



Research objectives and content The aim is to identify the signal transduction pathways critical for FGF-mediated angiogenesis. The novel immortomouse brain endothelial (IBE) cell line, offers the to potential to disect the pathway critical for FGFmediated tube-formation. Using the innovative approach of transfecting these cells with PDGFR-alpha/FGFR-1 chimeric receptor mutations via retrovirus-mediated gene transfer, I will study the ability of specific mutations to inhibit tube-formation. I will then determine which signal transduction cascades have been perturbed. Furthermore, I will also utilise a yeast two-hybrid system to identify novel proteins which associate with the intracellular domain of the FGFR-1. The biological role of such proteins will then be identified. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) I will be trained in a wide range of current molecular biology techniques. Also, I will learn a number of biological assays, critical for studying angiogenesis in a cell model. The benefit of such training is that I will be learning a wide range of skills critical to my scientific development. Since the host lab has renown record in this field I expect to generate novel data.
Links with industry / industrial relevance (22) Identification of pathways critical for angiogenesis will facilitate the development of agents which can regulate such pathways. A pharmaceutical involvement is highly anticipated.
