Figure 6. Erk-Akt crosstalk and the effect of ERKi on proliferation in other cell types.

Figure 6

(A) ERKi U0126 failed to trigger significant Erk-Akt crosstalk in adult NP cells, hES-derived NP cells, brain tumor U87 cells, and breast cancer MCF-7 cells in which Erk-Akt crosstalk has been extensively studied. The opposite crosstalk can be triggered by PMA in adult NP, hES-derived, and MCF-7 cells. (B) U0126 treatment failed to promote the proliferation of the four cell types. An inhibitory effect was observed in adult NP and U87 cells. Mean ± s.d., n = 4. *P < 0.05. ns, not significant. All gels were run under the same experimental condition. Cropped images were shown in the figure. Full length blots are included in the Supplementary Information.
