(A) In the single cell motility assay, cell migration distance in 6 h was recorded every 5 min by time lapse video under a microscope. Total distance of cell migration was taken to represent cell mobility. (B) In invasion assay, cells were seeded on matrigel (1 mg/ml) coated transwell plates in 16 h. Invading cells were calculated for quantification. Values was shown the mean ± SEM. (* p<0.05, ** p<0.001 compared with N1, # p<0.05 compared with FasL)
FasL enhances cell migration and invasion.

The Met tyrosine kinase receptor is a high-affinity receptor for hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF). HGF/SF-Met system is necessary for embryonic development, and aberrant MET signaling favors tumorigenesis and metastasis.
