Here, we show that the Fgf pathway regulates the expression of the chemokine sdf1a as well as its receptors cxcr4a, cxcr4b and cxcr7, and that in turn Sdf1a negatively regulates the expression of fgf20a and FGF target genes.

In earlier research, the researchers showed that these tumour cells proliferate faster because they are fuelled by a growth hormone called FGF-2.

Thus, the mechanism described here might apply to other well-characterized, polarized axes, such as the limb buds, in which a similar FGF/MAPK gradient is established along the proximo-distal axis.
