Epithelia and mesenchyme interact during various physiologic and pathologic processes. Scatter factor is a mesenchyme-derived cytokine that stimulates motility, proliferation, and morphogenesis of epithelia. Recent studies suggest that scatter factor and its receptor (c-met) mediate mesenchyme/epithelia signalling and even interconversion. In this mini-review, we will discuss how scatter factor and c-met may mediate interactions between mesenchyme and epithelia during embryogenesis, organ repair, and neoplasia.
上皮组织和间充质在各种生理和病理过程中相互作用。散射因子是一种间充质来源的细胞因子,可刺激上皮组织的运动、增殖和形态发生。最近的研究表明,散射因子及其受体(c-met)介导间充质/上皮信号传导,甚至相互转化。在这篇小型综述中,我们将讨论散射因子和c-met如何在胚胎发生、器官修复和肿瘤形成过程中介导间充质和上皮之间的相互作用。
