(A) MDCK cell (∼500) were seeded into a thick layer of a 1:1 collagen/Growth Factor Reduced Matrigel and treated with semi-log dilutions (100 pM to 300 nM) of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor, K1K1, K1K1S2, and K1K1S4 twice a week for 1 mo. The cells were fixed and stained with Evans blue and DAPI. The image of the full plate is presented. (B) Colonies were observed in bright field using inverted microscope observed 4× objective on a Nikon Eclipse TS100 microscope. (C) Phosphorylation analysis of MET signalling pathway by Western blot on HeLa cell lysates after stimulation with semi-log dilution (0.3–30 nM) of K1K1, K1K1S2, or K1KS4 for 10 min. Loading controls are based on total MET, total Akt, and total ERK present in each lane.
