The EGF Receptor and HER2 Participate in TNF-α-Dependent MAPK Activation and IL-8 Secretion in Intestinal Epithelial Cells
Figure 6
TNF treatment stimulates EGFR-HER2 heterodimerization, and HER2 tyrosine phosphorylation. HT-29 cells were serum-starved for 24 hrs prior to stimulation with 10 ng/mL TNF-α. EGFR was immunoprecipitated, and coprecipitating HER2 was measured via western blotting (a). HT-29 cells were serum-starved for 24 hrs, stimulated with 10 ng/mL TNF-α for 15 mins, and phosphotyrosine-containing proteins immunoprecipitated. Samples were separated by SDS-PAGE and HER2 content quantified by western blotting (b). Figures are representative of at least 3 separate experiments.
