PG - 105-8 AB - A new transcription variant of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) was cloned from human gastric cancer cell line HSC-39. Northern blot analysis of eight human gastric cancer cell lines (TMK-1, MKN-1, MKN-7, MKN-28, MKN-45, MKN-74, KATO-III and HSC-39) demonstrated that HSC-39 cells expressed a 1.3 kb abnormal HGF/SF transcript. Screening of 1 x 10(6) colonies of cDNA library from HSC-39 constructed in pAP3neo mammalian expression vector selected four positive clones containing HGF/SF transcript. Among them, two contained a 1.3 kbp insert detecting the identical transcript to that obtained with HGF/SF probe by Northern blotting. Deoxynucleotide sequencing of the 1.3 kbp insert revealed that it was composed of a part of HGF/SF cDNA from exon 14 to exon 18, corresponding to the whole sequence of HGF/SF light chain, with 5' 75 nucleotides unrelated to any sequence involved in HGF/SF.
