Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of gefitinib (EGFR-TKI), LY294002 (PI3K inhibitor) and U0126 (MEK inhibitor) on proliferation and apoptosis in five non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines (PC9, PC9/AB2, H1975, H1299 and A549). METHODS: The inhibitory rates of cells were tested by MTT and apoptosis was detected through flow cytometry when treated with gefitinib, LY294002 and U0126. RESULTS: The...
