                    In-vitro Model H157 CVCL_2458 Mucosa squamous cell carcinoma Homo sapiens
NCI-H1299 CVCL_0060 Lung large cell carcinoma Homo sapiens
PC-9 CVCL_B260 Lung adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
                    In-vivo Model H157 and H1299 cells (6*106 cells per mouse) were subcutaneously grafted into the right flanks of six-week-old female athymic nude BALBL/c mice.
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Combination treatment with curcumin and gefitinib markedly downregulated EGFR activity through suppressing Sp1 and blocking interaction of Sp1 and HADC1, and markedly suppressed receptor tyrosine kinases as well as ERK/MEK and AKT/S6K pathways in the resistant NSCLC cells.
