  1. aCells were treated with various concentrations of sulforaphane for 48 h, and cell viability was determined by MTT assay. The IC50 values were calculated by non-linear regression analysis. Values are given as means ± standard deviation
  2. bL858R substitution in exon 21
  3. cPC9/gef is a gefitinib-resistant cell line that was selected from parental PC9 cells (which contain a deletion in exon 19 of EGFR) by continuous exposure to increasing doses of gefitinib over ~ 6 months
  4. dL858R substitution in exon 21 and a secondary T790M substitution in exon 20 of EGFR
