We investigated whether hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) enhances the invasion activity of
three human HCC cell lines, HLF, HLE, and HC-4, in vitro. The analysis of the invasiveness …

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has different effects on different cell types. Recently, it has
been reported that HGF has an anti-proliferative effect against tumor cells including …

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was suggested to play an important role in the regulation of
mitogenesis, motogenesis, angiogenesis, migration and invasion for various types of cells …

Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a protein growth factor whose pleiotropic
effects on epithelial cells include the stimulation of motility, mitosis and tubulogenesis. These …

Human gallbladder cancer is highly malignant and its prognosis is usually poor depending
on the extent of surrounding tissue invasion. We examined in vitro the invasive activity of …

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), also known as scatter factor, regulates both cell motility and
the growth of some cell types. We have determined the effects of HGF on the motility and …

To study the mechanism of invasion and metastasis of gallbladder cancer cells, we
established a cancer cell line, GB‐d1, from a metastatic lymphnode of poorly differentiated …

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has potent mitogenic activity for mature hepatocytes and
various normal epithelial cells. We now have evidence that HGF at 1–10 ng/ml, strongly …

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a humoral mediator for regeneration of liver and kidney,
possesses multiple biological activities. To investigate target cell specificity and to examine …

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) induced scattering and cell migration of humangastric
adenocarcinoma MKN-74. HGFalso significantly promoted the growth of MKN-74cells in a …
