Inhibition of JNK by HGF/SF prevents apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha.

We investigated whether repression of JNK by hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor ( HGF/SF) in MDCK epithelial cells is linked to its ability to protect cells from apoptosis. To this purpose, cells were treated by TNF-alpha, a well-known inducer of JNK and of cell death, and the effects of HGF/SF were investigated under these conditions. We identified repression of JNK as a signaling target of HGF/SF for protection against TNF-alpha-induced cell death. This effect of HGF/SF occurs via the activation of the PI3K and MEK1 pathways.[1]
