Effects of SOCS-box mutant on PYK2 expression, Tyr402 and ERK1/2 activations and cell migration. (a) Decreased PYK2 and ERK1/2 phosphorylations by SOCS-box mutant with the same PYK2 expression. A549 cells were vector- or the SOCS-box mutant-transfected for 48 h, and cell lysates were analysed by western blot using the indicated antibodies. (b) PYK2 mRNA levels were unaffected regardless of transfection or not. The amplified PYK2 products were 629 bp in length. β-actin amplification demonstrated the consistency of PT-PCR. (c) Cell migration suppressed by the SOCS-box mutant was not statistically significant. The values are means of three replicates.
