Suppression of Ras-mediated tumorigenicity and metastasis through inhibition of the Met receptor tyrosine kinase

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the Ras family of GTP binding proteins represent one of the most frequently observed genetic alterations in human cancers. We and others have recently demonstrated that expression of Met, the tyrosine kinase receptor for hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF), is significantly up-regulated in Ras-transformed cells. Because HGF/SF-Met signaling is proposed to play a prominent role in tumor...
