Abstract excerpt
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) plays a crucial role in the differentiation of skeletal muscle cells, where a process in which the retinoblastoma protein (pRb) has been implicated. We addressed the role of pRb in HGF-mediated effects on the proliferation and differentiation of adult skeletal muscle myoblasts. HGF shifted pRb to its hyperphosphorylation forms and increased the transactivation of E2F1, a...
