A proportion of ovarian carcinomas markedly overexpress the proto-oncogene c-met, which encodes the receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). HGF may either stimulate or inhibit the multiplication of its target cells, and may also promote motogenesis and morphogenesis. In this study, we establish
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-induced tubulogenesis has been demonstrated with renal epithelial cell lines grown in collagen gels but not with primary cultured renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTEs). We show that HGF selectively induces proliferation and branching morphogenesis of primary
