Change in total amounts of EGFR and pEGFR in whole cell lipids and lipid rafts with EPA:DHA mixtures in human BC cell lines.

Citation Cell Line Concentration of EPA or DHA (µM) Exposure (Hours) Change in EGFR *
Schley, Brindley and Field [13] MDA-MB-231 60 EPA + 40 DHA 72 NS Δ in whole cell EGFR **
↑50% whole cell pEGFR
↓lipid raft EGFR **
45 EPA + 30 DHA + 75 LA NS Δ in whole cell EGFR **
↑21% whole cell pEGFR
↓lipid raft EGFR **

EPA = eicosapentaenoic acid; DHA = docosahexaenoic acid; LA = linoleic acid; EGFR = epidermal growth factor receptor; pEGFR = phosphorylated EGFR; NS Δ = no significant change; “↑” denotes significant increase (p < 0.05); “↓” denotes significant decrease (p < 0.05); “%” = percent change from control condition; * Relative to control conditions; ** Researchers did not quantify percent change in bands from control condition in Western Blot Analysis.
