The IC50 of sulforaphane for human NSCLC cells harboring different EGFR mutations

Cell line EGFR mutation status Sulforaphane
IC50 (μM) a
A549 Wild-type 10.2 ± 0.15
CL1-5 Wild-type 9.7 ± 0.33
H3255 L858R b 14.5 ± 0.21
PC9/gef c Exon 19 del. 7.3 ± 0.25
H1975 L858R/T790M d 5.9 ± 0.18
HFB Wild-type 65.4 ± 0.29

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

bL858R substitution in exon 21

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

dL858R substitution in exon 21 and a secondary T790M substitution in exon 20 of EGFR
