The effects of p53 on sensitivity to EGFR-TKIs in H1975 cells. Endogenous p53 was silenced using a Crisper/Cas9 knockout system in H1975 cells. (a) The indicated protein levels were analyzed by immunoblotting. (b) Cells were evaluated for morphologic changes that were consistent with MET using a light microscope. (c,d) Cells were treated with the indicated doses of osimertinib for 72 h, and cell viability was determined using MTT assays and cell counting. (e) Cells were treated with the indicated doses of osimetinib for 6 h, and EGFR-related signaling proteins were analyzed by immunoblotting. (f) Two gefitinib-resistant cells (H1975/OR and H1975/p53KO/OR) were established as described in the Materials and Methods section. At 3 months after drug exposure, cells were treated with the indicated doses of osimertinib for 72 h, and cell viability was determined using MTT assays. ***p < 0.0005 compared with control.
