An epithelial scatter factor released by embryo fibroblasts.
Medium conditioned by human embryo fibroblasts breaks structural junctions between several types of epithelial cells, leading to separation and scattering of the cells. An assay developed in MDCK cells shows activity up to a dilution of at least 1 in 64, equivalent to less than 100 ng of total protein. The activity is non-dialysable, heat-labile, and sensitive to trypsin, and it is assumed to b...
متن کاملDown-regulation of scatter factor in MRC 5 fibroblasts by epithelial-derived cells. A model for scatter factor modulation.
Scatter factor/hepatocyte growth factor (SF/HGF) is a multifunctional cytokine produced by embryonic fibroblasts and other mesenchymal cells that affects the growth and/or the movement of certain epithelia. Here we report that expression of scatter factor activity by MRC 5 cells, a strain of normal human embryonic lung fibroblasts, is greatly reduced as a result of co-culture of these cells wit...
متن کاملEpithelial scatter factor and development of the chick embryonic axis.
Scatter factor, a recently characterised protein secreted by certain embryonic fibroblasts, affects cultured epithelial by increasing cell motility, the breakdown of cell junctions and cell scattering. The process of gastrulation in higher vertebrate embryos, during which the primitive streak forms, involves an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transformation resembling the effects of the factor on cul...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor is an autocrine factor for human normal bronchial epithelial and lung carcinoma cells.
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) or scatter factor (SF) has been considered primarily as an endocrine/paracrine factor. We report here that HGF/SF mRNA was expressed by cultured human normal bronchial epithelial cells and many non-small cell lung carcinoma cell lines. Scatter activity was detected in the culture media of these cells, and this activity was inhibited by a neutralizing anti-recombin...
متن کاملForward-scatter and side-scatter dataset for epithelial cells from touch samples analyzed by flow cytometry.
'Touch' or trace biological samples submitted to caseworking labs as evidence often contain biological material from multiple individuals which can result in mixed DNA profiles. These mixture profiles are difficult to interpret and may cause analytical bottlenecks for forensic laboratories. The data in this brief reports the variation in the relative abundance of intact epithelial cells deposit...
