Regulation of hepatocyte growth factor receptor endocytic trafficking
The Hepatocyte Growth Factor Receptor (HGFR/cMet) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is essential for multiple cell responses, including cell proliferation, survival, motility and branching morphogenesis. Normal HGFR signaling regulates embryonic development, organ regeneration and wound healing, …

hepatocyte growth factor inhibits glial scar formation and
Formation of glial scars physically impedes growth of regenerating axons following CNS injuries such as spinal cord trauma. Glial scars also produce various species of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) that act as a potent inhibitor of axon growth. Thus, inhibition of glial scar formation …

Untersuchungen zur Wirkung des Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) auf Humane Omentum Majus Zellen
… for example provoke an ileus. Elevated levels of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) were found in serum analyses of patients who had undergone liver surgery. In order to get insight into peritoneal wound healing, which occurs during liver regeneration, the presented study investigated on the influence …

Up-modulation of Hepatocyte Growth Factor/ c-Met Signaling by Protein Kinase C-g and its Mechanism
… activity of c-Met, the receptor for hepaotcyte growth factor (HGF). However, specified roles by PKC isoenzymes on the regulation of HGF/c-Met signaling have never been addressed yet. In this study, attempts have been made to investigate the effect of PKC-γ, an isoenzyme of PKC, on the HGF/c-Met …

Met Inactivation by S-allylcysteine Suppresses Migration and Invasion of Nasopharyngeal Cancer Cells Induced by hepatocyte growth factor
… HONE1 treated with SAC (0, 10, 20, or 40 mM) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). This study showed that SAC could suppress the migration and invasion of HNE1 and HONE1 cell lines by inhibiting p-Met. An increase of migration and invasion induced by HGF and its decrease in a dose dependent manner …

The roles of hepatocyte growth factor family members in androgen-regulation of human hair growth. A comparison of the expression of hepatocyte growth factor family members, HGF and MSP, and their receptors, c-Met and RON, in isolated hair follicles from normal and androgenetic alopecia (balding) scalp.
Androgens are the main regulators of human hair growth stimulating larger, terminal hair development e.g. beard and causing scalp balding, androgenetic alopecia. Hair disorders cause psychological distress but are poorly controlled. Androgens probably act by altering regulatory paracrine factors …

Green Tea Polyphenol Epigallocatechin-3-gallate Inhibits Hepatocyte Growth Factor-Induced Tumor Cell Migration and Invasion In Vitro and In Vivo
" 간세포성장인자(hepatocyte growth factor,HGF)와 그 수용체인 Met의 과 활성화는 많은 종류의 종양의 발생과 진행에 관여하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 HGF/Met 신호전달체계를 효과적으로 억제하는 물질을 찾아보고자하였고 녹차의 성분 중 생체에 영향을 주는 중요한 polyphenol인 Epigallocathechin-3-gallate(EGCG)가 HGF/Met 신호체계를 효과적으로 억제할 수 있다는 것을 발견하였다. EGCG는 HGF에 의한 Met의 활성 방식이 autocrine이든 …

Activation of Ca<sup>2+</sup>-activated K<sup>+</sup> Channels and Cell Migration by Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor in Madin-Darby Canine Kidney Cells.
<p>Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor (HGF/SF) stimulates migration of various cells and has been linked via Met tyrosine kinase signaling to transformation and the metastatic phenotype. HGF/SF-Met signaling also plays a role in malignancy. Migration of transformed MDCK-F cells depends on …

Regulation of Hgf Expression By Δegfr-Mediated C-Met Activation In Glioblastoma Cells
<p>Overexpression of the hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-Met) and its ligand, the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and a constitutively active mutant of the epidermal growth factor receptor (∆EGFR/EGFRvIII), occur frequently in glioblastoma. c-Met is activated in a ligand-dependent manner by …

Nuclear Translocation of Met Via Internet Mechanism
… in breast cancer cells. Here, we show that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) as well as hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) can induce nuclear translocation of full-length MET holoreceptor via a membrane-bound vesicle transport mechanism in breast cancer cells. Our findings provide a …

Epithelial Tubular Fusion, Measuring Interconnection, and the Quest for Solving the Continuity Problem
… of candidate effectors. One such candidate was hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which has known roles in cell migration, tubulogenesis, and cell proliferation. Addition of HGF robustly induced interconnection of adjacent spheroids. The proliferative effect of HGF neither promoted nor inhibited …

Birth Defect Amelioration and Placental Cytokine Expression in Mnu-Exposed Dams Treated With Ifn-Gamma
… gene microarray studies were conducted. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), interleukin 1 beta (IL1Β), and insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) were elucidated as genes that were significantly expressed in GD12 placenta. These genes are similar in that they are all connected to the Jak-Stat …

Targeting c-Met for therapy
… which is activated by its only ligand, the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Activation of c-Met leads to a wide spectrum of biological activities such as motility, angiogenesis, morphogenesis, cell survival and cell regeneration. c-Met and HGF knock-out mice are embryonic lethal. During …
