Additionally, we also incorporated data related to EGF-induced EGFR phosphorylation (Figure 2P; Supplementary Figure S1C) and downstream activation of AKT and ERK in NSCLC cells (Figures 2O–R) (Nishimura et al., 2015; Lee et al., 2011; Shen et al., 2021). This evidence concerns the gene EGF and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
