They found that some GPCRs, such as formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1) and cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors, are present in human NSCLC cells and transactivate EGFR downstream signaling pathways, including MAPK and JAK/STAT3, to promote cell proliferation through Src kinase. Here, EGFR is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
