摘要：

Recent findings suggest that hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) contributes to the malignant progression of human gliomas. We investigated the effect of HGF/SF on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression of c-Met/HGF receptor-positive human glioma cell lines. Treatment of the glioma cells with various concentrations of HGF/SF resulted in an enhanced secretion of VEGF proteins accompanying increased transcription of VEGF mRNA in a dose-dependent fashion. Since malignant gliomas frequently co-express HGF/SF and its receptor, these results suggest that HGF/SF could act as an indirect angiogenic factor through autocrine induction of VEGF expression and secretion in malignant gliomas.
