MET (Mesenchymal-Epithelial Transition) oncogene, also called Hepatocyte Growth Factor Receptor (HGF), is a receptor tyrosine kinase that appears to be deregulated in many human cancers [45], such as breast, colorectal, lung, pancreatic, hepatic and—not least—gastric cancer. Its activation requir...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a heterogeneous disease that usually develops within liver cirrhosis. Cancerogenesis in HCC is not a clear process and, at present, there is not a well-defined sequence of DNA mutations able to explain the entire process, from normal hepatocyte to HCC. Lately,...
shown that for example further addition of already expressed ligands of the PI3K/AKT, MAPK, and RAP1 pathways as autocrine growth factors, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 8, hepatocyte growth factor, and vascular endothelial growth factor C induced positive effect on CHO cell growth (Lim et al....
studied the effect of MMI on hepatocyte mitochondria in two different models (in vitro and in vivo). The results of this study are controversial. In vivo, MMI caused mitochondrial damage in mice. Instead, in vitro MMI not only did not cause any mitochondrial damage, but also protect this ...

Neuroendocrine cells are the third type of prostatic epithelial cells in addition to secretory cells and basal cells in normal prostate glands. Neuroendocrine cells in prostate cancer are believed to derive from neuroendocrine cells or their stem precurs
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -α, a cytokine produced by KCs, hepatocytes, and abdominal fat, is associated with the development in rodents[52,53] and in humans[54-57] of insulin resistance, NAFLD and NASH. The role of TNF-α in NAFLD may be due to its capacity to induce hepatocyte ap...
