Objective To observe the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells after 30% total burn surface area (TBSA) of deep partial thickness scald, and the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on angiogenesis during wound healing.Methods A total of 133 male Wistar ratswere divided randomly into normal control (n=7), injured control group (n=42), bFGF group (n=42) andanti-c-fos group (n=42). The apoptosis expression of fibroblasts was determinedwith in situ hybridization and the changes of proliferation cell nuclear antigen(PCNA), focal adhesion rinase(FAK), c-fos and extracellular signalregulated kinase(ERK) proteins expression were detected with immunohistochemistry staining technique after 3 hours, 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days and 21 days of scald.Results In injured control group and bFGF group, theproliferation rate of the vascular endothelial had evident changes 7 days and14 days after scald； the expression of FAK was increased 14 days after scald. ERK proteins expression was different between injury control group and bFGF group at initial stage after scald. Stimulation of ERKs by bFGF led to up-regulation of c-fos and b expression of FAK. Conclusion Exogenous bFGF extended the influence on wound healing process by ERK signaling pathway, affecting migration cascade of vascular endothelial cell. The oncogene proteins play an important role on accelerating angiogenesis duringwound healing.
