Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was suggested to play an important role in the regulation of mitogenesis, motogenesis, angiogenesis, migration and invasion for various types of cells, and acts through a specific membrane receptor encoded by c-met proto-oncogene. However, the mechanism of the effect of HGF on tumor invasion of prostate cancer cells remains unclear. We investigated the effect of HGF on the invasion of PC-3 and DU-145 prostate cancer cells through a reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel), the haptotactic migration to fibronectin substrate, the expression of protein and mRNA for matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1 and -9, membrane-type 1-MMP (MT1-MMP), urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) and its receptor (uPAR). HGF increased both Matrigel invasion and haptotactic migration of prostate cancer cells. Furthermore, HGF also increased the production of MMP-1 and -9, MT1-MMP, u-PA and uPAR of these cells. These results suggested that HGF increased the invasive potential of prostate cancer cells probably through enhancement of cell motility and the production of MMPs and u-PA.
