Source: CGL-Driver Genes
Type: Oncogene
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its high-affinity receptor, mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (c-Met), are closely related to the onset, progression, and metastasis of multiple tumors. The HGF/c-Met axis is involved in cell proliferation, movement, differentiation, invasion, angiogenesis, and apoptosis by activating multiple downstream signaling pathways.
HGF (Hepatocyte Growth Factor) and its receptor c-Met play significant roles in various biological processes, including cell growth, motility, and differentiation. Their involvement in cancer has been extensively studied, as the HGF/c-Met signaling pathway is often dysregulated in many types of tumors
: The HGF/c-Met pathway can promote tumor cell proliferation and survival. When HGF binds to c-Met, it activates several downstream signaling pathways, including the PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways, which are crucial for cell survival and growth.
c-Met is associated with increased invasive and metastatic potential of cancer cells. The activation of this pathway can enhance the motility of cancer cells, allowing them to invade surrounding tissues and spread to distant sites.
Tumors that overexpress c-Met may evade the effects of treatment, leading to poor patient outcomes.
