Associations of Met with chemical compounds

  • Using immature rat GC, the present study investigated the effects of HGF within the estrogen biosynthetic pathway, concomitant with changes in c-Met and PKBalpha mRNA expression [14].
  • We also analyzed endogenous HGF expression and phosphorylation of c-Met/HGF receptor in the kidneys of glycerol-induced ARF rats [15].
  • The addition of bile acids into the culture medium had significantly delayed the process of de-differentiation and restrained the drastic elevation of c-Met (tauroursodeoxycholic acid > ursodeoxycholic acid) [8].
  • The nucleotide sequence of the rat c-met cDNA revealed that the HGF receptor is encoded within single open-reading frame as 190 kDa of a transmembrane glycoprotein consisting of 1,382 amino acids [16].
  • Treatment with celecoxib significantly delayed esophageal ulcer healing and suppressed ulceration-triggered increases in esophageal epithelial cell proliferation, c-Met mRNA and protein expression, and ERK2 activity [17].

Regulatory relationships of Met

 

Other interactions of Met

  • As a consequence of this rearrangement the Tpr-Met fusion oncoprotein is localized to the cytoplasm and is a constitutively activated kinase [21].
  • Differential distribution of Met and epidermal growth factor receptor in normal and carcinogen-treated rat liver [22].
  • Furthermore, 1 min after PHx, but not sham operation, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) and u-PA receptor were observed in the immunoprecipitates of c-Met [23].
  • The TGF-alpha receptor EGFr appears primarily to mediate a proliferative signal, whereas mitogenic, motogenic, and morphogenic effects have been attributed to activation of the HGF receptor Met [22].
  • Growth factor enriched milieu induced a rapid loss of ASGPr with a significant increase of c-Met surface level and a decrease in c-Met protein level [8].
