Hepatocyte growth factor in physiology and infectious diseases
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic cytokine composed of an α-chain and a β-chain, and these chains contain four kringle domains and a serine protease-like structure, respectively. The receptor for HGF was identified as the c-met proto-oncogene product of transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase.
Safety and pharmacokinetics of recombinant human hepatocyte …
2011年5月8日 · We performed a translational medicine protocol with recombinant human HGF (rh-HGF), including a phase I/II study of patients with fulminant hepatitis (FH) or late-onset hepatic failure (LOHF), in order to examine the safety, pharmacokinetics, and clinical efficacy of …
Hepatocyte Growth Factor - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic cytokine that promotes cell proliferation, motility, survival, and morphogenesis. HGF binds to its c-Met tyrosine kinase receptor and triggers signal transduction that protects cells against apoptosis and enhances cell …
Therapeutic role of human hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in …
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a paracrine hormone that plays an important role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition. HGF secreted by mesenchymal cells affects many properties of epithelial cells, such as proliferation, motility, and morphology. HGF …
Human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF)-modified hepatic oval …
Our results indicate that the combination of hHGF-modified HOCs with liver transplantation decreased host anti-graft immune responses resulting in a reduction of allograft rejection rates and prolonging graft survival in recipient rats.
[Function and regulation of production of hepatocyte growth …
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was purified as a potent mitogen for rat hepatocytes in primary culture and is believed to be the most physiological hepatotrophic factor that triggers liver regeneration. HGF is one of the largest disulfide-linked cytokines, consisting of a 60-kDa heavy chain and a 35-kDa light chain.
Human hepatocyte growth factor levels in patients undergoing …
Human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF) is the most potent mitogen identified for alveolar type II cells, and may have other important functions in the repair of the alveolar epithelium and compensatory lung growth. A study was conducted to evaluate the changes of serum hHGF levels in patients who underwent thoracic surgical procedures.
Hepatocyte Growth Factor Activator: A Proteinase Linking
2018年11月1日 · HGF activator (HGFAC) is a serum activator of proHGF and produces robust HGF activities in injured tissues. HGFAC is a coagulation factor XII-like serine endopeptidase that circulates in the plasma as a zymogen (proHGFAC). Thrombin, kallikrein-related peptidase (KLK)-4 or KLK-5 efficiently activates proHGFAC.
