Therefore, AXL and TGFβ receptors expression was assessed on mRNA and protein level in a panel of human CRC cell lines (HCT116, SW480, LoVo, SW48, LIM1215) including three RAS-mutant (RASm) (HCT116, SW480, and LoVo) and two RAS wild-type (RASwt) (SW48, LIM1215) cancer cell lines. Here, AXL is linked to cancer.
