Figure 4. PI3K and ERK are required for HGF-induced migration.

Figure 4

A. HGF activates AKT and ERK in HT29 and HCA7 colon adenocarcinoma cells as shown by western blot analysis. B. Scratch wound healing is dependent on PI3K/AKT and ERK activation as treating the HT29 cells with the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (LY) and the MAPKK (MEK) inhibitor U0126 prevents wound closure as determined by time-lapse microscopy. C. Wound areas in HGF-stimulated HT29 cells treated with LY294002 (mean from two independent experiments), U0126 (one experiment) and without inhibitors (mean from 3 independent experiments) were analyzed quantitatively every 5 min by determining the percentage of remaining wound area as compared to the area of the wound at time 0.
