We found that TGEV acted via the EGFR-PI3K-Rac1/Cdc42-PAK-LIMK signaling pathway to regulate the activity of cofilin and F-actin arrangement early in infection, and also demonstrated that EGFR was a promoter for TGEV entry. During the early phase of TGEV infection, the destruction of lipid rafts inhibited the activation of EGFR, Akt, and LIMK, and also inhibited the phosphorylation of cofilin ( Figure 7E ). Our results also indicate that TGEV binding induces the phosphorylation of cofilin through the EGFR-PI3K-Rac1/ Cdc42-PAK-LIMK signaling pathways, resulting in actin polymerization around the cell membrane and foming multiple poutrusions. ./cache/cord-341690-h8fqijk5.txt ./txt/cord-341690-h8fqijk5.txt
