Article Title: EGF Potentiation of VEGF Production Is Cell Density Dependent in H292 EGFR Wild Type NSCLC Cell Line

doi: 10.3390/ijms151017686

Figure Lengend Snippet: VEGF-A production in confluent vs . subconfluent cells treated with EGF. ( A ) Confluent cells exhibit dose dependent increase in VEGF-A production in response to EGF whereas subconfluent cell VEGF-A production was insensitive to EGF treatment; and ( B ) Basal VEGF-A production in confluent cells is greater than that in subconfluent cells and is significantly stimulated by EGF while 30 min pre-incubation with Cetuximab prevented EGF stimulated VEGF-A production. * p < 0.05 Student’s t -test, n.s. = not significant, n = 9.

Article Title: Glucosamine inhibits epidermal growth factor-induced proliferation and cell-cycle progression in retinal pigment epithelial cells

doi:

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of glucosamine (GlcN) on transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Human retinal pigment epithelial cell line (ARPE-19) cells were treated with 2.5 mM or 5.0 mM GlcN, or 30 mM glucose for 24 h, stimulated with 10 ng/ml EGF, and stained with PE-conjugated anti-total-EGFR antibody and Alexa-Fluor-647-conjugated anti-p-EGFR antibody (Y845). The levels of phosphorylated ( A ) and total EGFR ( B ) were analyzed by flow cytometry. The data are representative of at least three independent experiments. Cells cultured under serum-free conditions were used as the control. C : western blot analysis of ARPE-19 cells cultured to 80% confluence; treated with 2 μg/ml tunicamycin, 30 mM glucose, or 5 mM GlcN in serum-free medium for a further 24 h; then stimulated with EGF for 5 min.

Article Snippet: The following primary antibodies were used: phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated anti-total-EGFR (cells were not permeabilized for total EGFR detection) and Alexa-Fluor-647-conjugated anti-p-EGFR (Y845; BD PharMingen).
