Disease relevance of Hgf

 

Psychiatry related information on Hgf

  • HGF treatment may be a potent therapeutic strategy for cerebrovascular diseases, including cerebral infarct and vascular dementia [4].
  • CONCLUSIONS: In prostate epithelial cells, Id 1 may be specifically involved in promoting proliferation whereas Id 4 and Id 2 may have defined roles in regulating differentiated functions in response to androgens and local paracrine factors such as HGF [5].
  • Two weeks after LAD ligation, 3 different treatments were conducted: (1) neonatal rat cardiomyocytes group (10(6) cells, T group, n=11), (2) HVJ-liposomes bearing the hHGF gene group (H group, n=10), and (3) combined (T-H group, n=10) [6].

Chemical compound and disease context of Hgf

 

Biological context of Hgf

 

Anatomical context of Hgf

  • CONCLUSIONS: HGF promotes the growth of preneoplastic hepatocytes but does not affect the growth of liver carcinoma cells in 3'-Me-DAB-treated rats [17].
  • Scatter Factor (SF) is a fibroblast-secreted protein which promotes motility and matrix invasion of epithelial cells [16].
  • SF and HGF cDNA clones from human fibroblasts, placenta and liver had virtually identical sequences [16].
  • These results indicate that HGF/c-Met plays a role in capillary endothelial cell regeneration in the ischemically injured heart [1].
  • Northern blotting revealed that HGF mRNA expression in the heart was augmented threefold at 24 and 48 hours and remained elevated by twofold at 120 hours after the myocardium was reperfused [1].
 

Associations of Hgf with chemical compounds

  • Tyrosine phosphorylation of c-Met in carcinoma cells was unaffected by HGF administration [17].
  • The rats were given intravenous recombinant human HGF or vehicle, and DNA synthesis was assessed by the 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine labeling index [17].
  • Moreover, HGF/SF is an essential component of muscle-derived support for motoneurons, since blocking antibodies to HGF/SF specifically inhibited 65% of the trophic activity of media conditioned by C2/C7 skeletal myotubes, but did not inhibit the trophic activity secreted by Schwann cell lines [18].
  • Cleavage of single chain HGF/SF or HGF/NK1 by factor Xa does not alter the affinity of the respective molecules for heparin, but it did variably affect the associated mitogenic activity of these factors [19].
  • HGF was also detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction in both benign and malignant tissues from radical prostatectomy specimens. c-MET transcripts were identified by Northern blot in two androgen-insensitive human prostatic carcinoma cell lines (DU 145 and PC-3) but not the androgen-sensitive LNCaP cell line [20].

Co-localisations of Hgf

  • Our results confirmed that expression of TGF-beta mRNA co-localized with HGF mRNA expression in the cirrhotic liver [23].
