EGFR expression and EGF stimulation (p-EGFR) in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells after n-3 PUFAs treatment. A: MDA-MB-231 treated with 230 μM EPA for 72 h, lane 1 control, lane 2 230 μM EPA, lane 3 EGF, lane 4 EGF+EPA. B: MDA-MB-231 treated with 200 μM DHA for 72 h, lane 1 control, lane 2 200 μM DHA, lane 3 EGF, lane 4 EGF+DHA. The relative intensities of band signals, reported in graphics, are determined by digital scanning densitometry. β-actin was used to normalize results of protein content. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01 compared to control cells; n = 3.
