c-Met belongs to the group of receptor tyrosine kinases and has a key role in cell survival, growth, angiogenesis and metastasis.26 c-Met and its physiologic ligand hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) are required for normal mammalian development and have an important role in epithelial–mesenchymal interactions during organ morphogenesis.26 The intracellular signaling cascades activated by c-Met include the RAS-MAPK and PI3K-AKT pathways, as well as NF-κB and Wnt/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling.26 Many carcinomas overexpress c-Met, and the surrounding stroma overexpresses HGF. Here, MET is linked to carcinoma.
