Hepatocyte growth factor regulates human trophoblast motility and invasion: a role for nitric oxide
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
1. The expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is essential for normal placental development although its function is unknown. In this study we examined the effect of HGF on trophoblast cell motility and invasion of fibrin gels and investigated the possible role of nitric oxide (NO) in this process. 2. The human extravillous trophoblast cell line SGHPL-4 express both the constitutive and inducible isoforms...
