The MET oncogene encodes the receptor for Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor, a unique growth factor that induces not only proliferation of epithelial cells, but also cell motility and invasiveness. DNA level and expression of the Met/HGF receptor gene were examined with Southern-and Western-bl

The proto-oncogene c-MET encodes the tyrosine kinase receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a pleiotropic cytokine controlling growth, survival, motility, invasive migration, and differentiation of epithelial cells. Like several other epithelial neoplasms, thyroid carcinomas have been found to
## Abstract Oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a neoplasm characterized by a high degree of local invasion and an elevated rate of metastasis to cervical lymph nodes. It has been shown that the Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor Receptor Met is constitutively activated in many human tumors
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) induces cell motility and tissue remodeling of various epithelial cells through its receptor, the product of the proto-oncogene c-met. High levels of HGF/SF have been correlated with poor prognosis in human breast carcinoma. In this study, we examined
We examined 22 cases of renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) for structural alterations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (ECFR) gene and found gene amplification in one case of high-stag+high-grade RCC. Dot blot analysis of the total RNA from tumorous and normal kidney tissues revealed overexpression o
## Abstract Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic cytokine able to evoke a wide array of cellular responses including proliferation, migration, and survival through activation of its receptor cβmet. Various types of leukocytes have been described to express cβmet suggesting that HGF/cβmet
