Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) regulate cell growth and differentiation and play crucial roles in the process of tissue repair and remodelling. We have previously shown that basic FGF is widely expressed at the injured site. Since the presence of FGF receptors (FGFRs) determines cellular responsiveness, we examined the localisation of FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR3 expression by immunohistochemistry throughout the repair of full-thickness excisional wounds up to 28 days after wounding. Strong expression of FGFR1 was observed in the nuclei of myofibroblasts, which are characterised by alpha-smooth muscle (alpha-SM) actin expression. The weak expression of FGFR2 was also observed in the nuclei of myofibroblasts. In contrast, there was no staining for FGFR3 in fibroblasts through the wound healing process. In addition, transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), a potential inducer of myofibroblasts, enhanced the expression of FGFR1 and FGFR2 in the nuclei of palatal fibroblasts in vitro. These findings suggest that FGFR1 and FGFR2 in myofibroblasts may be responsible for the signal transduction of FGF during the wound healing process.
