From: Nck1 depletion induces activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway by attenuating PTP1B protein expression
EGF- and PDGF-induced Akt phosphorylation is enhanced in Nck1-depleted HepG2 cells. Overnight serum-starved HepG2 cells transfected with control or Nck1 siRNA were exposed to 0, 1 and 10 nM EGF (A) or 0, 25 and 50 ng/ml PDGF-BB (B) for 5 min. Equal amount of proteins from total cell lysates were subjected to immunoblot with indicated antibodies. Data are representative of three independent experiments performed in duplicate with similar results. (C) HepG2 cells transfected with control or different Nck1 siRNAs (Nck1-1, Nck1-2) were starved overnight. Equal amount of proteins from total cell lysates were subjected to immunoblot with indicated antibodies. Data are representative of three independent experiments showing similar results.
