Figure 6. Periostin expression is dependent upon EGFR signaling and mutant p53 activation.
(A) Western blot analysis of periostin (90kDa) in EPC2-hTERT-EGFR-p53R175H, EPC2-hTERT-puro-neo, EPC2-hTERT-EGFR-neo and EPC2-hTERT-neo-p53R175H cells.
(B) Western blot analysis of periostin expression in EPC2-hTERT-EGFR-p53R175H cell lysates after 24h treatment with EGF (10ng/μl), EGFR inhibitior AG1478 (1 μM) and 5-iminodaunorubicin (3 μM). Immunoblotting for total EGFR and phosphorylated EGFR to confirm inhibition of EGFR as well as p21 to indicate restoration of wildtype p53 signaling. β-actin was used as a loading control. Densitometry ratios of periostin/β-actin were calculated and recorded.
