Constitutive Expression of HGF Modulates Renal Epithelial Cell Phenotype and Induces c-met and Fibronectin Expression

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a potent renotropic factor that has been shown to play important roles in kidney development and recovery from acute renal injury. To examine the effects of HGF on renal tubular epithelium, we generated HGF-producing renal epithelial cells by stably transfecting mIM...
