                    In-vitro Model A-549 CVCL_0023 Lung adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Enhancement of the cytotoxicity to CDDP by coadminstration with DMC was mediated by down-regulation of the expression of TP and ERCC1, regulated by PI3K-Akt-Snail pathway inactivation.
    β. Reversing Drug Resistance by This Combination

                    In-vitro Model A-549 CVCL_0023 Lung adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
                    In-vivo Model For a xenograft model, A549/DDP cells were injected into the inguinal mammary fat pad of Balb/c congenic athymic nude mice.
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
DMC in combination with DDP may be considered as a novel combination regimen for restoring DDP sensitivity in DDP-resistant NSCLC cells.
