The EGF Receptor and HER2 Participate in TNF-α-Dependent MAPK Activation and IL-8 Secretion in Intestinal Epithelial Cells
Figure 5
TGF-α release is required for TNF-α-stimulated EGFR transactivation and Erk1/2 phosphorylation. Serum-starved HT-29 cells were pretreated with increasing concentrations of TGF-α-neutralizing serum or Ig control and stimulated with TNF-α for 15 mins. EGFR was immunoprecipitated and phosphotyrosine content determined by western blotting (a). (b) shows the effect of TGF-α-neutralizing serum on TNF-stimulated Erk1/2 phosphorylation. Data are representative of at least 3 separate experiments.
