medicine | hepatocyte growth factor expression leads to autocrine activation of its receptor tyrosine kinase, MET, in nearly half of the acute myeloid leukemia cell lines and clinical samples studied. Genetic depletion of hepatocyte growth factor or MET potently inhibits the growth and survival of hepatocyte growth factor-expressing acute myeloid leukemia cells. Leukemic cells treated with the specific MET kinase inhibitor crizotinib develop resistance due to compensatory upregulation of hepatocyte growth factor expression, leading to restoration of MET signaling. In cases of acute myeloid leukemia where MET is coactivated with other tyrosine kinases, such as fibroblast growth factor receptor 1, concomitant inhibition of FGFR1 and MET blocks compensatory hepatocyte growth factor upregulation, resulting in sustained logarithmic cell kill both in vitro and in xenograft models in vivo | Homo sapiens |
