Figure 1. HGF significantly increased the proliferation of CAHPV-10 non-invasive prostate cancer cells over (A) 24 h and (B) 48 h. CAHPV-10 cells were serum starved for 24 h before exposure to HGF. The data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) (from 4 replicates repeated in triplicate). *Denotes significant difference between treated and control cells (P < 0.05); C: HGF significantly increased the invasive capacity of CAHPV-10 cells. Cells were seeded onto an artificial basement membrane extract in transwell inserts and serum starved for 24 h before treatment with HGF for 48 h. The data are expressed as mean (from triplicate experiments) ± SD. *Denotes significant difference between treated and control cells (P < 0.05). HGF: hepatocyte growth factor
