HGF-SF: effects on motility and morphology of normal and tumor cells
EXS.
1993.
Abstract
HGF-SF is a recently discovered cytokine which has both mitogenic and motogenic effects on a wide variety of cells. We used a computerized digital imaging system to measure motility and morphology of isolated cells. In this chapter we will describe the effect of HGF-SF and of other growth factors on the velocity, area, circularity, and flatness of normal and tumor cells. We will then discuss the possible mechanism of HGF-SF induced motility and the possible role of this factor in biological and pathological processes.
