摘要：

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was found to stimulate the growth and progression of gastric cancer cells through hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR). In the present study, the effects of HGF on the expression of HGFR in relation to cell cycle progression of human gastric cancer cells were investigated by two-parameter flow cytometric analysis. We found that the expression of HGFR in SC-Ml and KATO-III gastric cancer cells was cycle dependent, the level of HGFR increased front GO-Gl to S phase and the highest level of HGFR was found in G2-M phases. The level of HGFR was higher in KATO-III than SC-Ml cells. However, HGF treatment induced a dose-dependent stimulation of growth as well as down-regulation of HGFR in SC-Ml cells but not in KATO-III cells. These results suggest that functional HGFR rather than overexpressed HGFR may be more important for the growth of gastric cancer cells.
