RNA-Seq based transcriptome analysis was introduced to isolate bFGF-regulating signal pathways that regulate cell migration.
Many pathways including Wnt, Hippo, ECM, Hedgehog, and NF-κB signaling pathways are regulated by bFGF signaling.
We identified bFGF-NF-κB-JNK pathway by which fibroblast cell migration is regulated.
NF-κB pathway regulates JNK activity is independent of the PI3K-Rac1 signaling pathway.
