Dynamic soluble changes in sVEGFR1, HGF, and VEGF promote chemotherapy and bevacizumab resistance: A prospective translational study in the BECOX (GEMCAD 09-01) trial [PDF]
Despite initial responsiveness, acquired resistance to both bevacizumab and chemotherapy in metastatic colorectal cancer is universal. We have recently published that in vitro, chronically oxaliplatin resistance upregulates soluble vascular endothelial ...

Hepatocyte Growth Factor Differentially Modulates Oral Microbiota in Early vs. Late Experimental Periodontitis [PDF]
Background: Periodontitis is a chronic disease triggered by disturbed oral microbiota. We have previously reported that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) could mitigate early-stage experimental periodontitis but exacerbate the condition in its late stage ...

Function of hepatocyte spheroids in bioactive microcapsules is enhanced by endogenous and exogenous hepatocyte growth factor [PDF]
The ability to maintain functional hepatocytes has important implications for bioartificial liver development, cell-based therapies, drug screening, and tissue engineering. Several approaches can be used to restore hepatocyte function in vitro, including

Interferon-β induces hepatocyte growth factor in monocytes of multiple sclerosis patients. [PDF]
Interferon-β is a first-line therapy used to prevent relapses in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. The clinical benefit of interferon-β in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis is attributed to its immunomodulatory effects on inflammatory ...

Hepatocyte growth factor pathway expression in breast cancer by race and subtype
Background African American women have the highest risk of breast cancer mortality compared to other racial groups. Differences in tumor characteristics have been implicated as a possible cause; however, the tumor microenvironment may also contribute to ...

The two papers in this issue of Hepatology (1, 2) dealing with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) underscore the increasing importance of this novel growth factor in relation to hepatic growth biology. The emerging literature has already established HGF as a growth factor with potential importance not only for the liver but for ...
