It has become clear that papillary carcinomas of the thyroid often express the receptor for c Met / hepatocyte growth factor ( HGF ) receptor , but little is known about the role of the HGF and c Met system in the pathogenesis of thyroid carcinoma . ^^^ In this study , the expression of c Met / HGF receptor was evaluated in thyroid tissue by western blot and immunohistochemistry , and compared with the concentration of HGF . ^^^ The densitometrically measured expression of c Met had no relation to tumor stage in papillary carcinoma , but did correlate to the concentration of HGF in papillary carcinomas . ^^^ In conclusion , in thyroid lesions , c Met was highly expressed specifically in the cytoplasm of papillary carcinomas . c Met expression was not related to the aggressiveness of the tumor but was related to the concentration of HGF , which was probably derived from the stroma . ^^^

Overexpression of the c Met / hepatocyte growth factor receptor ( HGF R ) proto oncogene and abnormal generation of intracellular oxygen species ( reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) ) have been linked , by independent lines of evidence , to cell transformation and to malignant growth . ^^^ By comparing two subpopulations of the B 16 mouse melanoma ( B 16 F0 and B 16 F10 ) endowed with different lung metastasis capacities ( low and high , respectively ) we found that both the expression / phosphorylation of c Met and the steady state levels of ROS positively correlated with metastatic growth . shRNA mediated downregulation of c Met in F 10 cells led to a parallel decrease in the generation of oxygen species and in metastatic capacity , suggesting that oxidants may mediate the pro metastatic activity of the HGF receptor . c Met activation by a ligand elicits the formation of oxidant species through the oxidase coupled small GTPase Rac 1 , a relevant downstream target of the HGF R . ^^^ Moreover , cell treatment with the catalytic ROS scavengers EUK 134 and EUK 189 attenuates Met signaling to ERKs and inhibits the anchorage independent growth of F 10 cells , consistent with a critical role for oxygen species in HGF signaling and in aggressive cell behavior . ^^^

When c Met tyrosine phosphorylation was abolished by anti HGF IgG , mucosal cell proliferation became faint , leading to delayed recovery from mucotitis , and vice versa in cases of HGF supplementation . ^^^ Our findings indicate that : ( 1 ) HGF / c Met signal on mucosa is needed to restore gastric injuries ; and ( 2 ) the loss of local HGF leads to manifestation of gastric lesions . ^^^

Consistent expression of HGF and c met in the perinatal lung . ^^^ OBJECTIVES : We studied the protein expression of HGF and its receptor c met during the perinatal period in the human lung . ^^^ METHODS : Immunohistochemistry for HGF and c met was performed on lung tissues from autopsies of 4 fetuses , 5 preterm infants , 5 term infants , and 4 infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia . ^^^ CONCLUSIONS : The consistent expression of HGF and c met during the perinatal period supports a physiological role for HGF in human lung development . . ^^^

The transcription factor Ets 1 and the HGF receptor c Met were up regulated in P 1 ( 0 . 5 ) cells and in HUVEC cultured in P 1 ( 0 . 5 ) CM . ^^^ HGF production , Ets 1 and c Met up regulation , and iNOS expression can be part of the molecular mechanisms that enhance the angiogenic activity of the MDR positive hepatocellular carcinoma cell line . . ^^^

Up regulations of hepatocytes growth factor ( HGF ) , its receptor ( c Met ) , and urokinase type plasminogen activator ( uPA ) are correlated with the development and metastasis of cancers . ^^^ In order to investigate roles of HGF / c Met signaling in tumor progression and metastasis in stomach cancers , we determined effects of a specific MEK 1 inhibitor ( PD 098059 ) and a p 38 kinase inhibitor ( SB 203580 ) on HGF mediated cell proliferation and uPA expression in stomach cancer cell lines ( NUGC 3 and MKN 28 ) . ^^^

OBJECTIVE : To evaluate canine histiocytic sarcoma cell lines and tumor samples for dysregulation of the Kit / stem cell factor ( SCF ) , Flt3 / Flt3 ligand ( Flt3L ) , and Met / hepatocyte growth factor ( HGF ) receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathways , as these are known to contribute to the differentiation and survival of normal dendritic cells as well as malignant transformation of dendritic cells in mouse models . ^^^ PROCEDURE : Histiocytic sarcoma cell lines were evaluated for expression of Kit / SCF , Flt3 / Flt3L , and Met / HGF by use of reverse transcriptase PCR procedures . ^^^ CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE : These data suggest that dysregulation of Kit / SCF , Flt3 / Flt3L , and Met / HGF signaling pathways is unlikely to occur in histiocytic sarcomas of dogs and that inhibitors of the Kit , Flt 3 , and Met pathways are unlikely to provide clinical benefit to dogs with histiocytic sarcomas . . ^^^

Binding of HGF from conditioned medium to its receptor , c Met , was compared with recombinant HGF by SPR . ^^^ Similar to recombinant HGF , HGF from conditioned medium had a high affinity for dextran sulfate and albumin , and the same epitopes were engaged by the interaction of HGF with the c Met receptor . ^^^

METHODS AND RESULTS : Immunofluorescent analysis demonstrated that canine primary lymphatic endothelial cells ( cLECs ) were positive for lymphatic specific markers ( vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 , LYVE 1 , podoplanin , and Prox 1 ) and the HGF receptor c Met . ^^^ In human LECs , c Met also was expressed , and treatment with HGF increased cell growth and migration in a dose dependent manner . ^^^
