Abstract excerpt
Two hepatocarcinoma cell lines, the Hepa-1 wild-type (c1c7) and the beta-subunit mutated (c4) lacking hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) activity, were differentially susceptible to apoptosis by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). The c4 cells were 40% apoptotic 48 h after HGF treatment. On the contrary, the wild-type c1c7 cells showed modest signs of apoptosis only at 72 h. The revertant vT[2] cells, consisting of...
