The proliferation of normal human fibroblast cells was enhanced by the addition of inorganic polyphosphate ( poly( P)) into culture media. The mitogenic activities of acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-1) and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) were also enhanced by poly( P). A physical interaction between poly( P) and FGF-2 was observed, and FGF-2 was both physically and functionally stabilized by poly( P). Furthermore, poly( P) facilitated the FGF-2 binding to its cell surface receptors. Because poly( P) is widely distributed in mammalian tissues, it may be a spontaneous modulator of FGFs.
