The distributions of acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) and basic FGF (bFGF) in extracts of various cultured mammalian cells were determined from their elution profiles on heparin-affinity chromatography, and assay of activity as ability to stimulate DNA synthesis in BALB/c3T3 cells. Only aFGF was found in extracts of mouse melanoma B 16 cell and rat Morris hepatoma cell (MH1C1) lines. Other tumor cell lines established from solid tumors and some normal cells contained bFGF as a main component, but blood tumor cell lines contained no aFGF or bFGF. The FGFs in extracts of solid tumor tissues derived by transplantations of these cultured tumor cells and various normal tissues of mice were also examined. Tumors formed by all cell lines, regardless of whether they produced aFGF, bFGF, or neither, contained bFGF that was probably derived from host cells including capillary endothelial cells, in addition to the tumor-derived aFGF or bFGF, if produced. The content of bFGF, possibly derived from the host, in these tumor tissues was comparable to those of various mouse organs other than thymus, lung, spleen, and testis, which have higher bFGF contents. Tumor tissues derived from cultured cells producing bFGF had relatively higher bFGF contents. Like bFGF, aFGF was distributed almost ubiquitously in normal mouse tissues.
