Fig. 7. p2 MEC responses to Fgf. (A) pMAPK and pAkt responses of
Fgfr1
Frs/
Frs and control
MECs stimulated with Fgf, assayed over a dose titration (Ai, 5 minute
stimulations) and a 1 hour timecourse (Aii). RasGAP, loading control.
(B,C) Crk and Frs2 activation responses to Fgf (50 ng/ml aFgf, 5
µg/ml heparin, 5'), assayed by IP-phosphotyrosine (4G10) western
blot. Blots were stripped and reprobed with anti-Crk or anti-Frs2 (lower
panels). *No antibody IP control. (D) Fgfr2 responses to Fgf
(50 ng/ml aFgf, 5 µg/ml heparin, 5'), assayed by 4G10 IP-Fgfr2
western blot (upper panel). Total cell lysate Fgfr2 (middle panel) and actin
(loading control, lower panel) western blots show relative protein levels.
Matching arrowheads indicate bands of the same size recognized by different
antibodies within B-D. (E) Relative Fgfr2 mRNA levels in
homozygous embryos, determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. (F) Growth
curves of p2 MECs derived from four mutant and two wild-type embryos cultured
in DMEM, 4% FBS, 50 ng/ml aFgf.
