Extra-Nuclear Signaling of Progesterone Receptor to Breast Cancer Cell Movement and Invasion through the Actin Cytoskeleton (original) (raw)
Figure 5
Extra-nuclear signaling of PR to moesin in T47-D cells: ERK1/2 and PI3K.
(A) shows wild-type (ERK1/ERK2) or phosphorylated ERK 1/2 (P-ERK1/ERK2) during exposure to progesterone (100 nM). (B) Shows wild-type (Akt) and phosphorylated Akt (P-Akt) in the presence of 100 nM P. (C) T47-D cells were transfected with scrambled siRNA or ERK1/2 targeted siRNAs for 48 h. After that level of ERK1/2 protein expression was detected by western blot as indicated. (D) Cells were exposed to 100 nM P or MPA for 15 min after transfection with 100 nM targeted siRNA for ERK1/2 or scrambled siRNA for 48 h. Cell contents of wild-type or phosphorylated moesin are shown. (E) Cells were exposed to 100 nM progesterone or MPA for 15 min after transfection with constitutively active p85α (WT p85α) or dominant-negative p85α (Δp85α) for 48 h. Cell contents of p85α, wild-type or phosphorylated moesin are shown. The experiments were performed in triplicates and representative images are shown.
