A431 cells express approximately 106 epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors at the cell surface. Upon stimulation with EGF, A431 cells exhibit a dramatic increase in phosphorylation of EGF receptors followed by activation of major cell signaling pathways, such as PKB/Akt and MAP kinase pathways. Downstream of these cell signaling pathways, a variety of cytoskeletal, cytoplasmic, and nuclear proteins become phosphorylated at different time points after EGF stimulation.
Confluent cultures of A431 cells grown in DMEM containing 10% Fetal bovine serum were lysed in 1% SDS, 1.0 mM sodium ortho-vanadate, 10 mM Tris (pH 7.4) buffer. Protein concentration was determined using the BCA method (Pierce) before diluting to final concentration and buffer.
