The dual function exerted by acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) in a rat bladder carcinoma cell line has been explored under two different conditions of culture density. At low cell density, aFGF promotes the epithelium-to-mesenchyme transition of NBT-II cells characterized by cell dissociation, morphological changes toward a fibroblastic-like phenotype, and acquisition of cell motility. Under these conditions, NBT-II cells are unresponsive to the growth-promoting effect of aFGF. At high cell density, aFGF is a potent mitogenic factor, but its scattering activity is essentially abrogated. Slight modifications in the binding of aFGF to its specific receptors were observed at high cell density; these changes correlated with a downregulation of receptors with no apparent change in their molecular form. NBT-II cells located at the edge of artificial wounds mimicked the behavior of subconfluent cells, because they did not proliferate upon aFGF treatment. Furthermore, in large-sized NBT-II colonies, peripheral cells were the first to dissociate in response to aFGF. Altogether, our results suggest that the cellular response to multifunctional growth factors might depend on the localization within the responding cell population.
