Tumor Malignancy Pathway in Human Embryonal Central Nervous System The Scatter Factor/Hepatocyte Growth Factor: c-Met
Embryonal central nervous system (CNS) tumors, which comprise medulloblastoma, are the most common malignant brain tumors in children. The role of the growth factor scatter factor/hepatocyte growth factor (SF/HGF) and its tyrosine kinase receptor c-Met in these tumors has been until now completely unknown. In the present study, we show that human embryonal CNS tumor cell lines and surgical tumo...

متن کاملADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...
متن کاملComplete ablation of tumor necrosis factor decreases the production of IgA, IgG, and IgM in experimental central nervous system tuberculosis
Objective(s): This study aimed to explore the contribution of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in the recruitment of B-cell and secretion of immunoglobulins (Igs) during cerebral tuberculosis (TB).Materials and Methods: In this work, the contributing role of TNF in regulating Ig secretions was investigated by comparing wild type TNF (TNFf/f),...
متن کاملNeoexpression of the c-met/hepatocyte growth factor-scatter factor receptor gene in activated monocytes.
Hepatocyte growth factor-scatter factor (HGF-SF ) mediates mito-, moto-, and morphogenic effects through the MET receptor, a membrane bound tyrosine kinase. HGF-SF/MET signaling is mitogenic for a large number of epithelial and endothelial cells and activates organ regeneration. HGF-SF transcripts have been detected in various myeloid cell lines. Therefore, the potential role of HGF-SF/MET sign...
