1 Exosomal transfer of miR-214 mediates gefitinib resistance in non-small cell lung cancer. Gefitinib microRNA 214 Homo sapiens
2 MiRNA-214 was upregulated in gefitinib resistant PC-9GR cells and its derived exosomes by qPCR analysis. Gefitinib microRNA 214 Homo sapiens
3 Inhibition of exosomal miR-214 with antagomir reversed gefitinib resistance conferred by PC-9GR-derived exosomes in vitro, which was confirmed by flow cytometry analysis and westernblot of apoptotic protein (caspase-3, caspase-3 cleaved, bax) and anti-apoptotic protein (bcl-2). Gefitinib microRNA 214 Homo sapiens
4 Finally, exosomes enriched with miR-214 antagomir was further confirmed to reverse gefitinib resistance in vivo. Gefitinib microRNA 214 Homo sapiens
5 Our results are the first to show that exosomes derived from gefitinib-resistant PC-9GR cells could transfer resistance to its recipient sensitive PC-9 cells, which might be mediated by exosomal transfer of miR-214. Gefitinib microRNA 214 Homo sapiens
