Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) protein expression in cytotoxic anticancer drug-resistant small-cell lung cancer cells, including PC-6 and NCI-H69 parental cells and those resistant to 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothesin (PC-6/SN-38), paclitaxel (PC-6/TXL and H69/TXL), and cisplatin (PC-6/CDDP). (a) Levels of HGF protein expression in cytotoxic anticancer drug-resistant cells were examined by Western blotting. (b) Secretion of HGF in resistant cells was quantified by quantitative ELISA and compared to that in parental cells. (c) Growth inhibition of SN-38 to PC-6 cultured with or without HGF (50 ng/mL) for 2 weeks was examined with the MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt) assay. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
