Overview of Gene Research
Fgf5, a member of the fibroblast growth factor family, functions as a negative regulator of the hair cycle in mammals. It is expressed in the outer root sheath of hair follicles during the late anagen phase, mediating the transition from the anagen growth phase to the catagen regression phase. It also interacts with various signaling pathways, such as the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway in the developing prostate [1].
Spontaneous and engineered FGF5 mutations in mammalian animal models result in long hair phenotypes, and in humans, inherited FGF5 mutations lead to trichomegaly (long eyelashes). Functional studies in other cancer models suggest FGF5 overexpression is an oncogenic driver. For example, in osteosarcoma, FGF5 is overexpressed and promotes cell proliferation by activating the MAPK signaling pathway. In nasopharyngeal carcinoma, cancer-associated fibroblasts secrete FGF5 to inhibit ferroptosis and decrease cisplatin sensitivity [1,4,5,6].
In addition, FGF5 has protective effects in some injury models. In endothelial cells exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), FGF5 alleviates acute lung injury via the AKT signal pathway. It also protects the heart from sepsis injury by attenuating cardiomyocyte pyroptosis through inhibiting CaMKII/NFκB signaling [3,7].
In conclusion, Fgf5 is a crucial regulator in multiple biological processes, especially in the hair cycle. Its role in various diseases, such as cancer and injury-related conditions, has been revealed through functional studies in different models. Understanding Fgf5 may provide new therapeutic strategies for these diseases.
