Increased expression and activation of Egf receptor in UB-derived cells of Metfl/fl;HoxB7-Cre mice. (A) Immunostaining of E17 explant cryosections from Met+/+;HoxB7-Cre and Metfl/fl;HoxB7-Cre mice with α-Egfr and DBA. Cells from the DBA-positive UB tips (arrow) as well as the adjacent renal vesicle (arrowhead, RV) and metanephric mesenchyme show increased Egfr fluorescence. (B-E) Western blot analyses of renal papilla obtained from 6-week-old Met+/+;HoxB7-Cre and Metfl/fl;HoxB7-Cre mice. (B) Immunoblotted with α-Egfr and α-aquaporin-2, (C) α-pEgfr (Y1068) and α-E-cadherin, (D) α-pEgfr (Y992) and α-E-cadherin, (E) α-pErk5 and α-E-cadherin.
