Non-Small Lung Cancer After Cisplatin Treatment
| Title: | Non-Small Lung Cancer After Cisplatin Treatment |
|---|---|
| Description: |
H460 non-small cell lung cancer cells were exposed to the antitumor drug, cisplatin after autophagy inhibition. The image shows the H460 cells (in green) showing changed staining intensity after inhibition of autophagy. The small bright green bodies are likely to be micronuclei. Autophagy represents a response to chemotherapy and radiation that may be one component of resistance to therapy. This image was originally submitted as part of the 2016 NCI Cancer Close Up project. |
