First we determined the effect of EGF and IGF-I on the phosphorylation of AKT and MAPK in all pancreatic cancer cell lines included in this study and in all cell lines, with the exception of FA6 cells, EGF primarily induced to the activation of MAPK while it had low or no effect on AKT phosphorylation. This evidence concerns the gene EGF and pancreatic neoplasm.
