"Evidence of an EGFR-IRS-1 interaction arises from reports by Fujioka and colleagues [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR], who reported that the phosphorylated NPXY motifs in activated IR and IGF-IR to which IRS molecules bind are also present in the C-terminus region of activated EGFR and were indispensable for EGF induced IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation in EGFR transfected CHO cells [XREF_BIBR]."

"IGF-1R is a tyrosine kinase receptor that is activated by IGFs, the activated IGF-1R not only phosphorylates IRS-1 and SHC to activate the MAPK cascade, which stimulates cell growth and proliferation [XREF_BIBR], but also protects from apoptosis as a result of activation of PI3K-Akt through phosphorylation and subsequent inactivation of BAD [XREF_BIBR]."
"Accordingly, under the cellular context of the elevated expression of IL- 6Ra on myeloma cells, it is assumed that IL-6Ra molecules are located close to IGF-I receptors at lipid rafts, and IL-6 stimulation triggers the complex formation of IL-6Ra not only with gp130 but also with IGF-I receptors, leading to autophosphorylation of IGF-I receptor b and subsequent acti- vation of PI-3 kinase-Akt pathways (Fig. 4) 79 ."
