6. a higher HGF serum level during hemodialysis treatment is associated with a slower loss of residual renal function PMID: 29227979
7. prolonged treatment of single HGF/c-Met or Hh inhibitor leads to resistance to these single inhibitors, likely because the single c-Met treatment leads to enhanced expression of Shh, and vice versa.

17. EGF-mediated lysosome trafficking, protease secretion, and invasion is regulated by the activity of p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) and sodium hydrogen exchangers (NHEs).

23. cabozantinib suppressed MMP1 expression by blocking HGF-MET signaling and that HGF-MET-MMP1 signaling is involved in the invasiveness and proliferation of BCa cells. These results suggest that cabozantinib might prove useful for future treatment of muscle-invasive BCa. PMID: 28013036
24. The results suggested that HGF may inhibit TEMT by inhibiting AngII through the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in HK2 cells and HGF may prevent apoptosis induced by AngII.
