Hepatocyte Growth Factor

Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is a multifunctional cytokine that plays a crucial role in diverse biological processes, including cell proliferation, motility, and morphogenesis.
HGF is secreted by mesenchymal cells and binds to its receptor, c-Met, expressed on epithelial cells.
This interaction triggers signaling cascades that regulate tissue regeneration, organ development, and wound healing.
HGF has been extensively studied for its potential therapeutic applications in liver disease, kidney injury, and cardiovascular disorders.
Reseachers can discover the power of HGF research protocols with PubCompare.ai, an AI-driven platform that helps locate the best protocols from literature, pre-prints, and patents, while providing tailored comparisons to optimize reproducibility.
Experience seamless research with their user-friendly tools and take your HGF studies to new heights.

Human myoblasts were isolated from biopsies and cultivated as described previously [19 (link)] in a growth medium consisting of 199 medium and DMEM (Invitrogen Carlsbad, CA) in a 1:4 ratio, supplemented with 20% FCS (Invitrogen), 2.5 ng/ml hepatocyte growth factor (Invitrogen), 0.1 μmol/l dexamethasone (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and 50 μg/ml gentamycin (Invitrogen). The myogenic purity of the populations was monitored by immunocytochemistry using desmin as marker. Enrichment of myogenic cells was performed using an immunomagnetic cell sorting system (MACS; Miltenyi Biotec, Paris, France) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, cells were labeled with anti-CD56 (a specific marker of myoblasts) microbeads, and then separated in a MACS column placed in a magnetic field. Purification was checked by immunochemistry using a desmin marker. Differentiation was induced at confluence by replacing the growth medium with DMEM supplemented with 100 μg/ml transferrin, 10 μg/ml insulin and 50 μg/ml of gentamycin (Sigma-Aldrich).

hESCs were cultured and passaged as reported elsewhere [10 (link)]. The differentiation of hESCs into INS+ cells was performed using several different protocols. Adherent, flat culture differentiations based on the work of D’Amour et al. [11 (link)] and Kroon et al. [2 (link)] (referred to as ‘flat cultures’). Spin EB differentiations (referred to as ‘spin EBs’) [5 (link)], were set up in APEL medium [6 (link)]. Differentiation of spin EBs under pancreatic-specific conditions was as follows. EBs were formed by the forced aggregation of 2,000 (HES3) or 3,500 (MEL1) hESCs in APEL (the protein-free hybridoma medium component was omitted from this formulation) containing 10 ng/ml bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) and 150–200 ng/ml activin A (batch dependent) in low-attachment 96-well plates. After 3 days, medium was replaced with APEL containing 200–400 ng/ml noggin (batch dependent). At day 6, medium was replaced with APEL containing 1 × 10−5 mol/l retinoic acid (RA). At day 9, the medium was changed to APEL without polyvinyl alcohol (AEL) containing 1 × 10−5 mol/l RA, 100 μmol/l glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1), 1 × B27 and 10 mmol/l nicotinamide. At day 15 of differentiation, EBs were transferred to gelatinised, adherent 96-well plates, and insulin production was induced in AEL containing 10 mmol/l nicotinamide and 50 ng/ml IGF-I. With this system, most EBs contained INS-GFP+ cells by day 30 of differentiation. In addition, INS-GFP+ cells were also differentiated according to a protocol developed by Nostro and colleagues [12 (link)], referred to as the ‘Nostro protocol’. Recombinant human activin A, fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10), fibroblast growth factor 7 (KGF), IGF-I and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) were purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN, USA). Basic FGF (FGF2) was purchased from Peprotech (Rocky Hill, NJ, USA). Wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 3A (WNT3A) and noggin were purchased from R&D Systems or provided by the Australia Stem Cell Centre (Melbourne, VIC, Australia).

PET images were reconstructed using three different algorithms, each of which used the CT scan for attenuation correction and the same normalisation correction factors with scatter and randoms corrected as has been previously described (19 ,20 ,21 ). The standard PET reconstruction algorithm used at our centre is ToF OSEM (VPFX, GE Healthcare), used with 2i, 24ss and 6.4mm filter. The sinograms generated at the time of scanning were retrospectively processed using a ToF OSEM PSF protocol (3i, 24ss, 2mm filter) and the new Q.Clear reconstruction algorithm for penalization factors (betas): 200, 300, 400 and 500.
Visual analyses of the OSEM, OSEM PSF, and Q.Clear PET images, six reconstructions per case, were performed by two consultants (designated Scorer 1 and 2 respectively) with double accreditation in clinical radiology and nuclear medicine, and 11 and 3 years consultant experience respectively. Images were viewed on a GE Advantage Workstation (AW4.6, GE Healthcare). The reconstructions were labelled A to F in a randomised order, with the CT component available for image fusion. Cases were reviewed sequentially, and the reconstructions were ranked (from 1 to 6) according to six image quality (IQ) parameters: overall IQ (1 – excellent, 5 – worst), background liver IQ (1 – excellent, 5 – worst), background mediastinum IQ (1 – excellent, 5 – worst), background marrow IQ (1 – excellent, 5 – worst), noise level (1 – minimal, 5 – unacceptable), and lesion detectability (1 – excellent, 5 – poor).
Scorers also indicated their most and least preferred reconstruction for each case. Inter-rater agreement on ranking within each of the six IQ parameters was assessed using Cohen’s kappa statistic. The proportions of the highest and lowest ranked reconstructions were calculated for each parameter. Alongside the highest frequencies of the most and least preferred reconstruction indicated by the scorers, scores by both scorers for all parameters across the cases were summated for each reconstruction to confirm this quantitatively.
Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0 (IBM Corporation, New York, USA). Kappa values were interpreted using the guidelines laid out by Landis and Koch (22 (link)).

All serum samples, just after centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 10 min, and all CSF samples were immediately stored at − 80 °C until cytokine analysis, other than IL-6. The serum and CSF IL-6 levels were measured on a single detection immediately after centrifugation at room temperature using the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay according to the manufacturer’s instruction (Roche Diagnostics K.K., Tokyo, Japan). The serum cytokine concentrations relevant to the blood vessel regeneration were measured using the MILLIPLEX® (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) human angiogenesis/growth factor magnetic bead panel 1 with a single detection, according to the manufacturer's instruction. Fluorescence intensity from the immunoassay was acquired and analyzed using xPONENT 4.2 Software (Luminex Corporation, Austin, TX, USA). The measured cytokines relevant to the vascular remodeling included epidermal growth factor, angiopoietin 2, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP-9), endoglin, leptin, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), placental growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C, VEGF-D, fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), and VEGF-A. Values under the dynamic range were replaced by half of the lower sensitivity limit.
