Article Title: p38 Mediates Resistance to FGFR Inhibition in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
doi: 10.3390/cells10123363
Figure Lengend Snippet: p38 MAPK overexpression induces resistance to FGFR inhibition. ( A ) p38 kinase overexpression was established in NCI-H1581 and NCI-H1703 cells and confirmed with Western blot. Experiments were conducted in triplicates. Representative blots are shown. ( B ) Cell growth in 3D BD Matrigel ® and ( C ) cell proliferation in the presence of CPL304110 (0.1 µΜ for NCI-H1581, NCI-H1581R, NCI-H1581/p38↑; 1 µΜ for NCI-H1703, NCI-H1703R, NCI-H1703/p38↑) was assessed. Cells were cultured in 3D BD Matrigel ® for 14 days. Representative pictures were taken. Scale bar represents 100 µm, n = 3. Cell proliferation was assessed using MTT viability assay after 96 h. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, *** p ≤ 0.001, n = 3.
Article Snippet: To generate cells overexpressing p38 MAPK NCI-H1581 and NCI-H1703 cells were seeded onto 6 cm plates and, after 24 h, transfected with pMT3-p38-HA plasmid (Addgene, #12658) using Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA).
