The fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 isoform of 210 amino acids (HMW FGF-2) contains a nuclear localization sequence (NLS) and is targeted to the nucleus. This FGF-2 isoform allows cells to grow in low serum concentrations through still unknown mechanisms called intracrine regulations. Different peptide hormones and cytokines have been found to be nuclearized through NLS and to induce cell proliferation. The existence of molecules acting as negative regulators of the intracrine-induced cell growth has not been explored. Pancreatic cells AR4-2J were stably transfected to express selectively the HMW FGF-2. We demonstrated that activation of the somatostatin receptor subtype SST2 by the somatostatin analogue RC-160 in serum-deprived medium inhibits the mitogenic effect of the HMW FGF-2, without affecting growth of control cells. The signaling pathway implicates G
