HGF Signaling Pathway Assay (CAT#: STEM-MB-0372-WXH)

Introduction

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a multifunctional cytokine originally described as a mesenchymal-derived factor that regulates cell growth, cell motility, morphogenesis, and angiogenesis by activating its receptor, a transmembrane tyrosine kinase encoded by the c-Met proto-oncogene. hGF and c-Met are frequently co-expressed or overexpressed in a variety of human malignancies, including glioblastoma tumors and medulloblastoma; and their expression levels correlate with poor prognosis.




Principle

HGF an endogenous tissue repair factor, attenuates apoptosis in many primitive cell types. the HGF signaling pathway eliminates Ang II-induced apoptosis by inhibiting cytochrome c release, caspase-3 activation, and DNA fragmentation. RNA immunoprecipitation experiments show that HGF stabilizes Bcl-xL mRNA by increasing nucleotide binding to the 3' untranslated region of Bcl-xL mRNA, which is associated with the cytoplasmic localization of nucleotides. hGF also blocked Ang II-induced caspase-3 activation and lactate dehydrogenase release in tissue explants in an ERK-dependent manner.
