FGFR1

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1)

FGFR1 is a Metabolic / incretin hormones on the endocrine & hormone axis. Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as a cell-surface receptor for fibroblast growth factors and plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, differentiation and migration. Required for normal mesoderm patterning and correct axial organiza… It is indexed under "Adipokines & energy-sensing endocrine crosstalk" on our pathway page for antibodies, inhibitors, and assay guidance.

Research notes

  • Combine with other genes in the same hub block via genetics or pharmacology to test non-redundant roles of FGFR1.
  • For nuclear receptors pair ligands, co-regulators, and reporter assays; for membrane receptors note GPCR/RTK downstream and desensitization.
  • Verify antibody clone, phospho-site, and stimulation; include KD/KO or inhibitor controls.

Assay readouts for FGFR1

  • Islet/liver: FGFR1 with insulin secretion, gluconeogenesis, or lipid readouts.
  • Incretins: GLP-1/GIP stimulation and receptor agonists.
  • p-AKT / p-ERK: combined nutrient and hormone stimulation.
  • Metabolic disease models: tissue insulin sensitivity.

FGFR1 experimental notes

Examples below reflect common literature and public resources (e.g., CCLE, DepMap)—validate genotypes, expression, and passage in your own stocks before committing assays.

[1] Cell lines commonly used for FGFR1 studies (examples)

  • Tool lines: MIN6, INS-1, HepG2, 3T3-L1, HEK293T—screen by FGFR1 expression and pathway context (CCLE/DepMap).
  • Combine with neighbors (LEP, LEPR, ADIPOQ, ADIPOR1) via KD/pharmacology to test non-redundancy.
  • Overexpression/rescue in HEK293T supports mechanism and IP workflows.
  • Isogenic/CRISPR models separate pathway dependency from bypass survival.

[2] Cell samples for FGFR1 Western blot

  • Whole-cell lysates—optimize RIPA/NP-40 per antibody; phosphatase inhibitors for phospho blots.
  • Stimulation: serum starvation ± insulin/EGF or amino-acid withdrawal/refeed as relevant.
  • Controls: siRNA/shRNA, CRISPR KO, or inhibitors to validate band specificity.
  • Loading: BCA normalization; subcellular fractionation when needed.

[3] Tissue samples for FGFR1 Western blot

  • Matched tumor/adjacent frozen tissues after pathology review.
  • Mouse GEMM or xenografts—mind species antibody cross-reactivity.
  • Primary cells/PDCs when ethically approved.
  • FFPE needs specialized extraction; frozen tissue preferred for phospho work.

[4] Cell samples for FGFR1 immunoprecipitation

  • Tagged overexpression: HEK293T FLAG/HA-FGFR1 for complex capture.
  • Endogenous IP: high-expression lines; often ≥1–5×10⁶ cells per IP.
  • Stimulation: ligand or nutrient treatments enrich interactions—pilot time courses.
  • Controls: isotype IgG, empty vector, KD/KO negatives.

Human tissues and primary cells require ethics/IRB approval; tumors are heterogeneous—record histotype, site, and preservation conditions.

Models & genetics note

Overexpression vs endogenous FGFR1 can differ in dosage, splicing, and compartmentation—in organoids/PDX, record passage, matrix, and drug history.
