Fig. 3From: c-Met in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: an independent prognostic factor and potential therapeutic targetmRNA and protein levels of c-Met and HGF in ESCC cell lines. a Electrophoretic analysis of the polymerase chain reaction products showed each bands as expected for c-Met and HGF. b Quantitative analysis revealed the highest c-Met level in KYSE170 and very small amounts of HGF mRNA in all tested lines. c Western blot analysis confirmed the expression of c-Met and HGF proteins in all three cell lines.
