Invasiveness of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Lines: Contribution of Hepatocyte Growth Factor, c-met, and Transcription Factor Ets-1
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
To understand the mechanism of invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the expression of c-met and Ets-1, and the effect of HGF on these cell's motility and invasion ability were examined in four hepatoma cell lines. The analysis revealed that the overexpression of c-met and Ets-1 is closely connected with the motility and invasion ability of the HCC cell lines. Invasion activity of HepG2 and...
