title: [c-met expression in human hepatocellular cancer].
abstract: Using Northern blot method, we examined the expression of c-met in human hepatocellular cancer. Of 30 patients tested, the expression of c-met mRNA was not significantly different in HCC tissues from corresponding noncancerous parenchyma (P > 0.05). There was no significant relationship between c-met expression and grade of differentiation, stage of clinic, AFP, HBsAg (P > 0.05). Our results suggest that c-met may play different roles in the pathogenesis and metastasis of human hepatocellular carcinoma.
