Loss of RASSF2 Enhances Tumorigencity of Lung Cancer Cells and Confers Resistance to Chemotherapy

Figure 6

Inactivation of RASSF2 confers resistance to cisplatin and taxol. H441 cells stably transfected with control and RASSF2 shRNA constructs were seeded at 2 × 104 cells per well in 12-well plates and treated with 5 nM taxol or 10 μM cisplatin for 3 days. Cell death was estimated by trypan blue exclusion. Cells stably transfected with the RASSF2 shRNA showed significantly less cell death ( ) compared to the control cells for both taxol and cisplatin treatments.
