drug basic information
Drug ID: DB00317 (APRD00997, DB07998)
Drug Name: Gefitinib
Drug Method: PC-9 cells were transfected with LV-NC and LV-miR-221 to establish cell stabilizing strains (PC-9/NC and PC-9/miR-221), then they were used to detect the relative expression of miR-221 and apoptotic protease activating factor-1 (APAF-1) mRNA by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). The effects of gefitinib (0-4 umol/L) on the growth and proliferation of cell stabilizing strains were detected by CCK-8 Assay. After gefitinib treatment, cell apoptosis was detected by Flow Cytometry Assays. The expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor (p-EGFR), APAF-1 and cleaved cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3 (Cleaved-caspase-3) were detected by Western blot. Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay was used to evaluate the relationship between APAF-1 and miR-221
Drug Response: resistant
