Figure 6. Deletion of ERK phosphorylation reduces cell migration.
Panel A: Endodermal explants from both control and MEKDN/+; Gata5-Cre lungs were treated with FGF10-soaked beads. The control explants move towards FGF10 source after 8 hr culture. In opposite, MEKDN/+; Gata5-Cre explants show no sign of movement. Panel B: Epithelial cells from E12.5 lungs were cultured and wounded. After 12 hour, the control cells show 66% wound healing, where as MEK inhibitor treated cells show 20% (Panel C).
