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.
