Research Abstract

We have previously reported that EGCG as well as HSP90 inhibitors or anisomycin cause downregulation of the EGFR via phosphorylation at Ser1046/1047 through p38 MAPK in human cancer cells. Moreover, we demonstrated that short-wave length ultra-violet(UV-C) irradiation induces the removal of EGFR from cell surface that can protect colon cancer cells from oncogenic stimulation of EGF, resulting in cell cycle arrest. Hence, our findings suggest that EGFR at Ser1046/1047 could be a novel molecular target against human colon cancers.
