Induction of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) may be one of the critical steps in organ regeneration, wound healing, and embryogenesis. We previously reported the production of HGF/SF from various human leukemia cell lines and a high level of the growth factor in blood and bone marro

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic growth factor implicated in the growth and spread of some epithelial tumours. The epithelial cells of a proportion of ovarian tumours, and some ovarian carcinoma cell lines, express high levels of the HGF receptor, c-Met. In this study, we show that ov
We have previously shown that rat liver epithelial cells (RLEC) transfected with and constitutively expressing transforming growth factor-ฮฑ (TGF-ฮฑ) have an enhanced mitogenic response to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). In the study reported here, we examined tumor clones derived from the TGF-ฮฑ trans
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) contributes to the malignant progression of human gliomas. We investigated the effect of HGF/SF on matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), expressions
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a potent mitogen for a variety of cell types, but it is also known as an antimitogenic factor for several types of tumor cell lines. The biological processes by which HGF inhibits tumor cell growth remain poorly understood. Here we report a comparative study of HGF-
Mammalian liver exhibits expression of members of the family of multidrug resistance (mdr) transporters (P-glycoproteins). P-glycoprotein isoforms encoded by mdr1 genes participate in extrusion of an array of xenobiotics into the bile. Induction of mdr1b mRNA expression has been shown to occur in ra
