From: Identification of the angiogenic gene signature induced by EGF and hypoxia in colorectal cancer
EGF receptor is autophosphorylated in Caco-2 and activates downstream signalling pathways. Caco-2 cells were stimulated with 20 ng/mL EGF for the time periods indicated. Western blotting for (a) phosphorylated EGFR or total EGFR and (b) antibodies recognising signalling enzymes is shown. Cell lysate of EGF-treated A431 cells was used as positive control. α-tubulin is shown as a loading control. Densitometry was performed using Phoretix 1D analysis software against α-tubulin (for ERK, data for p42 and p44 are shown).
