c-Met inhibition results in reduced accumulation of neutrophils to the wound site in zebra fish (5); rhHGF stimulates the induction of CINC-1, a rat analog of IL-8, gene expression in hepatocytes (16); and c-Met signaling regulates IL-8 secretion by pancreatic cancer cell lines (11). The gene discussed is CXCL8; the disease is pancreatic neoplasm.
