From: Soluble cMet levels in urine are a significant prognostic biomarker for diabetic nephropathy
Glomerular endothelial cells in vitro and wound healing analysis. (A) Immunofluorescence for DAPI (blue), cMet (green), and CD31 (red) was observed in healthy human glomeruli. Original magnification: X400. (B) The levels of phosphorylated cMet were increased in the glomeruli from patients with diabetic nephropathy compared with those from normal control subjects; DAPI (blue), phospho-cMet (red). Original magnification: X400. (C) Assessment of the endothelial cell migratory capacity was assessed using a scratch wound healing assay between 0 and 30 hours. There was a significant difference in the migratory potential of the cMet group compared to the control and HGF groups.
