title: [Effects of recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor on osteoblast's growth and c-fos expression].
abstract: Rat's osteoblasts cultured in vitro were stimulated by recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor(rb-bFGF). After 1-2 days, the osteoblast grew long protuberance, the numbers of osteoblasts were greater than the control groups', the vitality of osteoblasts was better than that of control groups. After 1 hour, the expression of c-fos in osteoblast increased when compared with that in the control group. After the osteoblasts having been stimulated for 1-2 days, the expression of c-fos increased more conspicuously. These results show that bFGF can boost the osteoblast to grow and proliferate and can enhance the expression of c-fos gene. The increase of c-fos gene's expression may be an important step in the signal transformation process of all kinds of stimulation boosting osteoblast to proliferate.
