Background: FGF-9

Fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF-9), also known as HBGF9 and GAF, is a member of the FGF family of secreted glycoproteins involved in mammalian skeleton morphogenesis and growth (1). The FGF family is characterized by a core heparin-binding FGF domain of approximately 120 amino acids (aa) that exhibits a beta -trefoil structure (2). Mature mouse FGF-9 shares 99% and 100% aa sequence identity with human and rat FGF-9, respectively. FGF-9, along with FGF-16 and -20, form a FGF subfamily that shares 65-71% aa sequence identity, binds FGFR3(IIIb), and are efficiently secreted despite having an uncleavable, bipartite signal sequence (2-4). In addition to FGFR3(IIIb), FGF-9 binding to the IIIc splice forms of FGFR-1, -2 and -3 have been reported (1,4,6). In the mouse embryo, the location and timing of FGF-9 expression affects development of the skeleton, cerebellum, lungs, heart, vasculature, digestive tract, and testes (2, 6-11). Deletion of mouse FGF-9 is lethal at birth due to lung hypoplasia, and causes rhizomelia, or shortening of the proximal skeleton (2,10,11). Additionally, a mutation in mouse FGF-9 is responsible for Elbow knee synostosis (Eks), which causes joint fusions in the elbow and knee (6). In humans, FGF9 mutations that lower receptor binding can result multiple synostoses syndrome (SYNS) (7). Altered FGF-9 expression or function is reported in human colon, endometrial, and ovarian cancers, correlating with progression, invasiveness, and survival (12-15).
