Fig. 6. CS-C directly interacts with EGFR in mouse keratinocytes.

Fig. 6

a Direct interactions between EGFR and CS-C (EGFR-CS) in primary C6st-1 WT, C6st-1 HE, and C6st-1 KO keratinocytes were examined by proximity ligation assay (PLA assay) using CS56 (anti-CS-C antibody) and anti-EGFR antibody. Keratinocytes digested with chondroitinase ABC were used as controls. b EGFR homodimers in primary keratinocytes were examined by PLA assay using anti-EGFR antibody. As a control, keratinocytes were digested with chondroitinase ABC, subjected to PLA assay. c The graph shows means ± S.D. of EGFR-CS signals (green dots)/cell counted in 7–12 cells from three independent experiments. d The graph shows means ± S.D. of EGFR homodimer signals (green dots)/cell counted in 7–12 cells from three independent experiments. Values are mean ± S.D. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD test. e The interaction of EGFR with EGF, CS-C, or CS-A was analyzed via SPR. f Similarly, the interaction of EGF with EGFR, CS-C, or CS-A was analyzed by SPR.
