Project description:To further investigate the molecular mechanism of cell death induction by luteolin and/or gefitinib, we performed DNA microarray analysis, which may reveal the change of gene expression pattern following treatment with these chemicals. We examined PC-3 cells after 24h of treatment with 60μM luteolin and/or 60μM gefitinib because subG1 population has not appeared yet at this timing, which helps to avoid the secondary effects of apoptosis on the alteration of the gene expression pattern.
