Recombinant human HGF, TNF-α, and IL-1β were purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN). Cell culture media, newborn calf serum, and supplements were obtained from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA). Chemical inhibitor wortmannin and cell-permeable inhibitor peptide NF-κB SN50 were purchased from Calbiochem (La Jolla, CA). All other chemicals were of analytic grade and were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO) or Fisher (Pittsburgh, PA) unless otherwise indicated.
