In an effort to determine the localization of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors (FGFR) that could mediate the intracellular action of FGF-2, we discovered the presence of high-affinity. FGF-2 binding sites in the nuclei of bovine adrenal medullary cells (BAMC). Western blot analysis demonstrated the presence of 103-, 118-, and 145-kDa forms of FGFR1 in nuclei isolated from BAMC. 125I-FGF-2 cross-linking to nuclear extracts followed by FGFR1 immunoprecipitation showed that FGFR1 can account for the nuclear FGF-2 binding sites. Nuclear FGFR1 has kinase activity and undergoes autophosphorylation. Immunocytochemistry with the use of confocal and electron microscopes demonstrated the presence of FGFR1 within the nuclear interior. Nuclear subfractionation followed by Western blot or immunoelectron microscopic analysis showed that the nuclear FGFR1 is contained in the nuclear matrix and the nucleoplasm. Agents that induce translocation of endogenous FGF-2 to the nucleus (forskolin, carbachol, or angiotensin II) increased the intranuclear accumulation of FGFR1. This accumulation was accompanied by an overall increase in FGF-2-inducible tyrosine kinase activity. Our findings suggest a novel mode for growth factor action whereby growth factor receptors translocate to the nucleus in parallel with their ligand and act as direct mediators of nuclear responses to cell stimulation.
