Abstract

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor c-met are present in several human tissues but their expression in mesothelial cells has not been examined. In this study, we have investigated the expression of HGF and c-met in normal human mesothelial cells and 11 human malignant mesothelioma cell lines. Using RT-PCR and Western blotting we found that HGF is produced by 3/11 mesothelioma cell lines whereas c-met is expressed in 11/11 mesothelioma cell lines. In addition, c-met expression was also found in 6/6 cell samples obtained from pleural fluids of patients with mesothelioma. In contrast, neither normal cultured mesothelial cells nor mesothelial cells obtained directly from patients without mesothelioma expressed HGF nor c-met. We have also analysed the biological function of HGF and c-met in mesothelioma cell lines. Recombinant human (rh) HGF stimulated both directional (chemotactic) and random (chemokinetic) motility in all mesothelioma cell lines tested. Furthermore, mesothelioma serum free conditioned medium containing HGF stimulated mesothelioma cell migration. This effect could be blocked in the presence of neutralizing anti-HGF monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) in the assay. Addition of HGF to mesothelioma cells cultured...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
