"It has been demonstrated that EGFR activation contributes to c-Met tyrosine phosphorylation in a variety of cell models, with varying kinetic parameters Since NSCLC commonly express both receptors, we examined whether EGFR ligands induce c-Met phosphorylation in human NSCLC cell lines."
"Treatment of Caco-2 and LoVo cells with PGE2 (10 micromolar, 5 mins) significantly increased c-met-R phosphorylation. when these cells were treated with a specific inhibitor Tryphostin AG 1478 of EGFR, PGE2 almost completely inhibited PGE2-induced c-met-R phosphorylation, indicating that functional EGFR is required for PGE2-induced c-Met-R activation."
