We have quantified mRNA for the hepatocyte growth factor and its putative receptor the c-met proto-oncogene protein product, in a series of human primary and secondary liver tumours and adjacent non-neoplastic liver. In all hepatocellular cancers, hepatocyte growth factor 6 kb mRNA expression was less (mean 23.93% +/- 6.33% S.E.M. n = 7) in the tumours than in the adjacent normal liver. Both relative over- and under-expression of c-met transcripts were found in tumour tissue compared to non-neoplastic liver. Thus hepatocellular cancer tissue does not over-express mRNA for hepatocyte growth factor, though this growth factor might play a role in hyperproliferative states leading to liver cancer.

D006528 Carcinoma, Hepatocellular A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
