Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-1 and -2 have potent biological activities implicated in malignant tumor development. Their autocrine and nonautocrine activity in tumor progression of carcinoma was investigated in the NBT-II cell system. Cells were manipulated to either produce and be autocrine for FGF-1 or -2 or to only produce but not respond to these factors. The autocrine cells are highly invasive and tumorigenic and the determination of specific targets of FGF/fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signaling was assessed. In vitro studies showed that nonautocrine cells behave like epithelial parental cells, whereas autocrine cells have a mesenchymal phenotype correlated with the overexpression of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), the internalization of E-cadherin, and the redistribution of beta-catenin from the cell surface to the cytoplasm and nucleus. uPAR was defined as an early target, whereas E-cadherin and the leukocyte common antigen-related protein-tyrosine phosphatase (LAR-PTP) were later targets of FGF signaling, with FGFR1 activation more efficient than FGFR2 at modulating these targets. Behavior of autocrine cells was consistent with a decrease of tumor-suppressive activities of both E-cadherin and LAR-PTP. These molecular analyses show that the potential of these two growth factors in tumor progression is highly dependent on specific FGFR signaling and highlights its importance as a target for antitumor therapy.
