Abstract excerpt
Tumor-stromal interactions, which are regulated by stromal-derived HGF and tumor-derived HGF inducers, are essential for tumor cell acquisition of such malignant properties as invasion and metastasis. NK4, a proteolytic cleavage product of HGF, has antitumor activities as both an HGF antagonist and an angiogenesis inhibitor. In this study, we examined the in vitro and in vivo behaviors of mouse colon...
