Targeted therapy to gastric cancer by Hou, Qian.

“…The aim of targeted therapy is to specifically induce cancer cells apoptosis with minimum side effects on normal cells. In this study, 17 gastric cancer cell lines were used to screen a library of 60 small molecule inhibitors and chemotherapy drugs for discovery of potential therapeutic agent by methyl thiazole tetrazolium (MTT) assays. 8 effective drugs which include Docetaxel, Paclitaxel, 17-DMAG, Bortezomib, Calyculin A, Okadaic acid, Staurosporine and Bafilomycin A1 were identified and subject to further characterization by IC50 calculation, cell migration assay, morphology study and cell cycle analysis by FACS. …”
