Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) is cardioprotective in in vivo models of myocardial infarction; however, whether FGF2 has a protective role in in vivo ischemia‐reperfusion (IR) injury, a model that more closely mimics acute myocardial infarction in humans, is not known. To assess the cardioprotective efficacy of endogenous FGF2, mice lacking a functional Fgf2 gene (Fgf2−/−) and wild‐type controls were subjected to closed‐chest regional cardiac IR injury (90 min ischemia, 7 days reperfusion). Fgf2−/− mice had significantly increased myocardial infarct size and significantly worsened cardiac function compared to wild‐type controls at both 1 and 7 days post‐IR injury. Pathophysiological analysis showed that at 1 day after IR injury Fgf2−/− mice have worsened cardiac strain patterns and increased myocardial cell death. Furthermore, at 7 days post‐IR injury, Fgf2−/− mice showed a significantly reduced cardiac hypertrophic response, decreased cardiac vessel density, and increased vessel diameter in the peri‐infarct area compared to wild‐type controls. These data reveal both acute cardioprotective and a longer term proangiogenic potential of endogenous FGF2 in a clinically relevant, in vivo, closed‐chest regional cardiac IR injury model that mimics acute myocardial infarction. The cardioprotective efficacy of endogenous FGF2 was tested using a closed‐chest regional cardiac IR injury model. Mice lacking FGF2 (Fgf2−/−) mice had significantly increased myocardial infarct size and significantly worsened cardiac function compared to wild‐type controls at both 1 and 7 days post‐IR injury. These data reveal both acute cardioprotective and a longer term proangiogenic potential of endogenous FGF2 in a clinically relevant, in vivo, closed‐chest regional cardiac IR injury model that mimics acute myocardial infarction.
