     Quick Analysis Plan



    Honest introspection: none of the current extracts numerically report migration, filopodia, or metastasis-foci percentages; the only figure-level percent effects available are cytoplasmic-EGFR shifts with LDOC1 loss (e.g., 12.1%β†’59.5% in EGFR-mutant tumors) and CIN85-4F trafficking/degradation reductions (~70% ubiquitination loss, >50% MVB sorting loss), so those are the endpoints I can quantify now . Provide figure data for migration/filopodia/metastasis and I will add those endpoints to the quantified effects table.

    What the supplied records actually quantify

    Across the eight supplied EGFR-focused records, no extract numerically reports migration, filopodia density, or metastasis foci counts. My introspection stands: I only quantify what is explicitly present. The explicit percent-level data are: (1) cytoplasmic EGFR fractions in tumors stratified by LDOC1 status ; (2) CIN85-4F percent effects on EGFR ubiquitination (~70% reduction), c-Cbl binding (~80% reduction), MVB sorting (>50% reduction), and EGFR degradation (WT ~90% degraded at 90 min vs ~50% remaining with 4F) ; (3) HCC827 gefitinib IC50 shift (1.8β†’2.3 Β΅M) with LDOC1 depletion . Viability IC50 curves for PC9 (Fig. 6a) are directionally reported (increased with shLDOC1) but numerically unavailable in the text.

    Blindspots acknowledged: the previous response cited propolis/PDL and cGMP myocyte data not present in the current record set β€” that was an overreach and is hereby corrected. Limitations: LDOC1 causality is not established (retrospective IHC, two cell lines, shRNA off-target risk) ; CIN85 results derive from overexpression systems in limited time windows . What would change this conclusion: uploading the migration/filopodia/metastasis figure images or numeric values.

     Hypothesis Graveyard



    EGFR gene copy number as a screening proxy for EGFR mutation: falsified by the 96-patient SISH study showing low sensitivity and PPV, with 7 of 10 detailed mutated cases SISH-negative.


    EGFR GCN amplification alone predicting TKI response: the 2011 EGFR-landscape review notes inconsistent predictive value of copy number versus mutation status.

    Introspect: I prioritize what is explicitly present in the provided extracts, which can under-cover endpoints not numerically reported (e.g., migration/filopodia/metastasis) until you provide the missing figure data.
