We examined the effect of E-cadherin expression on epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) molecular targeted therapy sensitivity/resistance. We treated MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, T24, SiHa, H460, SK-HEP-1, MHCC97-H, and THP-1 cells with the EGFR-TKIs PD153035 and gefitinib, and then tested the drug-resistance and sensitivity using the MTT method, calculated IC50 values for each cell line, and compared the results to E-cadherin content.
