The phosphorylation of IGF1 and insulin receptors was higher in IGF2-high carcinoma than in IGF2-low carcinoma, but there was no difference in the phosphorylation status of Akt and Erk1/2 when normalizing to total Akt or Erk1/2 respectively (Figure 3) or actin (data not shown). Here, IGF2 is linked to carcinoma.
