EGFR and cardiac hypertrophy: The main results are as follows: 1) During the cardiac hypertrophy induced by Ang-II stimulation, CTGF was highly expressed and EGFR was significantly down-regulated; 2) Increased CTGF and decreased EGFR were regulated by ERK1/2 signaling pathway; 3) CTGF interacted with EGFR, and the interaction is reduced with the stimulation of Ang-II; 4) ERK1/2 serves as the center of signal regulation.
