title: Mutual interaction and reciprocal down-regulation between c-met and insulin receptor substrate-1.
abstract: The insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) and c-met, the receptor for the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) co-immuno-precipitate from lysates treated with the respective antibodies. The interaction between IRS-1 and c-met requires a tyrosyl phosphorylated IRS-1 and results in reciprocal down-regulation. IRS-1 inhibits cell motility, while the activated c-met promotes it. These and other results suggest an explanation for reports in the literature indicating that c-met levels are high and IRS-1 levels are low in human cancer metastases.
