Figure 2From: Dovitinib preferentially targets endothelial cells rather than cancer cells for the inhibition of hepatocellular carcinoma growth and metastasisExpression profile of RTKs and the effect of dovitinib on RTK signaling in HCC and endothelial cells. A) Expression of PDGFR-β, FGFR-1, and VEGFR-2 in HCC and endothelial cell lines as detected by immunoblotting. B) Expression of FGFR-3, and VEGFR-1 in HCC and endothelial cell lines C) Phosphorylation of p-PDGFR-β and p-ERK were inhibited by dovitinib at pharmacologically relevant concentrations in MHCC-97H and SMMC7721 cells. D) Dovitinib inhibited the phosphorylation of FGFG-1, VEGFR-2, and downstream ERK in HMVEC and HUVEC endothelial cells at pharmacologically relevant concentrations.Back to article page
