## BACKGROUND. The 12 members of the MAGE gene family encode tumor specific antigens that are recognized by autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). The MAGE genes are expressed not only in melanoma but in the other malignant tumors as well. There is, however, little information on their expressi
Abbreviations: MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase; ERK, extracellular signalregulated kinase; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; T/N ratio, tumor (HCC) versus non-tumor (non-cancerous counterpart) ratio.
The c-met protooncogene is a growth factor receptor with tyrosine kinase activity. Recently the hepatocyte growth factor was identified as the ligand for this receptor. Because the hepatocyte growth factor is a most potent mitogen in hepatocytes, possible involvement of c-met expression in hepatocar
The multistep process of liver carcinogenesis involves various genetic and phenotypic alterations. To identify genes whose expression is increased during hepatocarcinogenesis, differential-display polymerase chain reaction (DD-PCR) was used to examine differences in the mRNA composition of hepatocel
