Canonical EphA2-pY588 activation remains unaltered or is even increased after depletion of EFNA5. (A) Heat map for ephrin ligands and Eph receptor mRNAs in selected HGSC cell lines. Data obtained from CCLE and illustrated per cell line. (B, C) Quantification of EFNA1 (B) and EFNA5 (C) mRNAs in OVCAR3 and OVCAR4 with silenced EFNA1 or EFNA5 compared to the controls. N = 3. siScr is set to one. (D–G) EphA2 (total and phosphorylated) in OVCAR3 and OVCAR4 after silencing of EFNA1 or EFNA5 (D) along with EphA2-pY588 (E), EphA2-pS897 (F), and EphA2 (G) quantifications. N = 3. siScr is set to one. Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 5. p values (Student’s t-test): *< 0.05; **< 0.01.
